🚨🏡 The Market Is Shifting Slightly. Here Is What That Means for You.
The South Central Kansas housing market is still moving, but buyers and sellers are adjusting to a more balanced pace this spring.
Here are a few important April numbers:
• 949 homes sold in April
• Median sale price rose to $236,500
• Inventory increased 7.3 percent from last year
• 2.2 months supply of homes available
• Homes still sold at 100 percent of list price on average
• Median days on market: only 11 days
What does that mean in plain English?
For Sellers:
Homes are still selling quickly, especially under $300,000, but buyers are becoming more price sensitive. Proper pricing and presentation matter more than ever.
For Buyers:
You finally have a little more breathing room. Inventory is improving, negotiations are becoming more realistic, and there are more options than we saw a year ago.
One of the biggest trends we are watching:
Pending contracts are UP 6.2 percent, which tells us buyers are still very active heading into summer.
This is not a crashing market.
This is a stabilizing market.
And stable markets create opportunity for people who understand them.
If you are wondering what these numbers mean for your home, neighborhood, or buying plans, we would be honored to help.
