Creekmoor Elementary School in Raymore, MO

Raymore is a solidly established suburban community of nearly 24,000 residents where the median age of 40.1 years, per the 2023 American Community Survey, reflects a population that has mostly moved past the young-family stage. The town's economic profile leans decidedly toward affluence: median household income stood at $103,158 as of 2023, and 78% of the 8,944 households are owner-occupied. That homeownership commitment shows in the housing stock—the median home value hit $318,000 in the 2023 Census estimate, though recent sales have pushed higher, with the median sale price running $401,500 over the last 30 days. Renters here pay a median of $1,283 monthly, making owner-occupation not just the norm but often the more practical long-term choice.

The buyer's market right now is reasonably active, with 51 homes sold in the past month and a median time on market of 33 days. Homes are selling at list price on average—the sell-to-list ratio came in at 100% over the last 30 days—which suggests realistic pricing and fair conditions for both sides. Year-to-date, 328 homes have closed, and the median sale price for the year sits at $393,385. New construction remains minimal: only 14 building permits were issued in the most recent survey period (July 2026), all single-family, indicating limited new supply.

Commuting from Raymore averages 26.4 minutes, making it accessible to the broader metro while maintaining its own identity as a bedroom community. Education levels are moderate for the Kansas City suburbs, with 37% of the 2023 population holding a bachelor's degree or higher. This is a neighborhood where people buy to stay, supported by the strong ownership rates and stable median age.
