The Fed just raised rates for the first time since 2023, and mortgage rates already crossed 7 percent this week. If you're thinking about buying in Salina, here's what that actually means for your monthly payment, and why waiting for a "better" rate might not be the safe bet it used to be.

FOUR CLOSINGS & FOUR NEW CHAPTERS! 🏡🤍

What a few days for The Klassen Group-SalinaHomes! We celebrated one closing this past Friday and THREE more closings today! 🎉🔑

There’s something so special about closing day. Behind every set of keys is a family, a story, a lot of moving pieces, and a brand-new chapter waiting to begin.

We are SO happy for these beautiful families as they settle into what’s next — new homes, new memories, new beginnings and all the little moments that will make these places HOME. 🥹🏡

Getting to walk alongside people during such a big life transition is something we never take for granted. Thank you for trusting The Klassen Group to be a small part of your story. 🤍

Four closings in just a few days… our hearts are FULL! 🥂✨

Here’s to happy closings, fresh starts & beautiful next chapters!

🏡 The Klassen Group
Making moves. Making memories. Helping you find what’s next.

Stay rosy,
Amber 🌹

If you know me, you know I’m a little bragalicious. 🤍 I love celebrating our family, our clients, and the work we get to do at The Klassen Group.

While Johnny and I were on vacation, a client saw on social media that Keith was holding down the fort and reached out to him for a countryside showing. Before we had even landed back in the U.S., they were under contract! Talk about the power of teamwork… and social media.

Last night was their final walk-through, where we surprised them with a closing basket filled with cozy blankets for their three kiddos. Their oldest son smiled and said, “I can’t wait to see what you get us tomorrow!” 🥹

On the drive home, we couldn’t stop thinking about him, so we turned around and bought bubble guns for his parents to surprise the kids with after closing. This morning, we handed over the keys to their beautiful new home… and a little extra joy to go with them.

These are the moments that remind us why we built The Klassen Group. Whether we’re in town or away, our clients are always cared for by a team that truly loves what we do.

Stay rosy,
Amber 🤟

Homes that sold in Salina in June had a median of 2 days on market. Homes still sitting unsold had a median of 23 days, more than double what it was a year ago.

Same market. Two very different experiences depending on the home.

Inventory is still tight, only 85 to 90 homes across the whole county, so this is not a market slowing down. It is a market getting more selective. Buyers are moving fast on the homes they want and passing on the rest.

And with families racing to be settled before the first day of school, the next few weeks matter more than the rest of the summer combined.

We broke down what this split means for buyers and sellers right now:

Salina inventory stays tight but time on market is splitting. Well kept homes sell in 2 days, others sit far longer. What it means before school starts.

The June numbers for the Salina housing market just dropped and one stat stopped us in our tracks.
Half of the homes that went under contract in June were on the market LESS THAN 2 DAYS. A year ago it was 6.
Here is the quick rundown:
Median sale price: $212,500

Sale price vs list: 100%

Pending contracts: 86, up 8.9%

Median pending list price: $260,000, up 23.8%
That last number is the real story. Move up buyers in the $300,000 to $400,000 range are out in force this summer, and sellers with less competition than expected are seeing offers in the first 48 hours.
