🥴🚨 If you’ve been trying to figure out whether the market is “good” or “bad,” that’s probably the wrong question.
The better question is: Where are the opportunities right now?
Over the last three months:
🏠 Active inventory climbed from 517 homes in June to 581 in August.
📅 Average days on market moved from 28 to 35 days.
💰 Median list price landed at $260,000 in August.
🔑 And 190 homes still sold in August.
That combination tells an important story.
Topeka is moving toward a more balanced market.
Buyers finally have more homes to choose from and more time to make decisions.
Sellers still have active buyers — but simply putting a home on the market and expecting it to sell isn’t the strategy anymore.
And for people who have been waiting for the “perfect” market?
This may be the reminder that opportunity doesn’t disappear when the market changes. It just moves.
