Using these past 15 days of market stats to figure the absorption rate in Leawood Kansas, there’s currently 6.3 months of inventory on the market.  There are still too many homes on the market for the number of sales we’re seeing in Leawood. However, for the first time in over a year we almost saw more homes sell (28) than homes come on the market (32). This is promising because the more inventory that’s on the market (supply) the lower housing prices will go.

A close look should be given to the average price of the Active, Under Contract and Sold homes. You can see the 32 new Leawood listings believed their homes were worth an average of $569,000. But the homes that contracts written had an average list price of $461,000 when they went under contract. The 28 homes that sold, did so at an average sales price of $408,000, which puts the average current list price at $188,000 greater than the average sales price over the past 15 days. It’s certainly a buyer’s market in Leawood Kansas.

Do keep in mind that looking at just 15 days of market stats is a small snap shot of Leawood KS activity. Market conditions also vary greatly from one subdivision to another and one home community can be doing well and the one next to it may be struggling. So don’t take just a macro look at market activity and feel free to contact me to discuss your specific home buying or selling situation.
