In the city of Olathe Kansas there continues to be more homes coming on the market than homes going under contract or than homes being sold (closed). This creates a further surplus of supply in Olathe. Using the past 15 days as a basis for figuring the absorption rate in Olathe Kansas, there’s almost 13.5 months months of inventory on the market on the market in Olathe. We saw significantly more home go under contract than homes closed, so if we use the under contract figure (rather than homes closed) as our basis for figuring the months of inventory, there is 5.5 months of inventory. If all of these pending homes can make it to closing, this would be very promising.

Keep in mind that a 15-day period is a small sampling of market activity designed to look at the what’s going on now in the current real estate market. While a 15-day period could indicate a trend it does not necessarily show a real estate markets long-term trend.
