15 Days of Olathe KS Market Activity

After using the past 15 days of sales stats to calculate the absorption rate in Olathe KS we find there’s 8.1 months of inventory on the market. This is high but not too bad given we’re just now starting to see warmer temperatures and more home buyers scheduling showings. Also, the 101 homes that went under contract is a huge number and if we were to assume all those would close and use that figure to calculate the absorption rate, there would be closer to 4 months of inventory. That amount of inventory would actually jump from a buyer’s market to a mild seller’s market in that case.

Months of inventory only considers inventory volume and doesn’t give consideration to actual sales prices. It’s concerning that the average home seller who listed the past 15 days hopes their home is worth around $246,000, while the average sales price was near $210,000. That’s quite a difference to say the least.
