Using these past 15 days of market stats to figure the absorption rate in  Leawood Kansas, there’s currently 7.9 months of inventory on the market.  That’s deep into a buyer’s market in Leawood Kansas and the problem is there’s simply too many homes on the market (363) when compared to the number of homes being sold (23 the past 15 days). Setting aside the number of homes for sale and looking at just the past 15 days of market stats , those numbers are a little better — there were almost as many homes sold as homes coming on the market. Also, the days on market of the homes that sold was 174 but the 18 homes that went under contract did so in an improved 57 days. Still, there needs to be more sales to divide into the 363 available homes to make the Leawood real estate market more stable.

The average sales price is also a concern in Leawood KS as the new listings had an average list price around $145,000 higher than the average sales price seen during the same time period. Do keep in mind that looking at 15 days of market stats is a small snap shot of local activity. Market conditions vary greatly from one subdivision to another within Leawood Kansas and you should seek market stats that are specific to the area you are looking to buy or sell real estate.
