15 Days of Overland Park KS Market Activity

Using the past 15 days of market stats in the chart below to figure the absorption rate in Overland Park Kansas, there’s 13 months of inventory currently on the market. This is extremely high and how long it would take to work off the 918 listings at a pace of 70 sales per month.  Take this with a grain of salt however, because the volume of closings we’re seeing right now are partially a reflection of the bad weather we had for a month. Showings were down drastically and without showings, sales obviously suffer. I find optimism in the high number of homes that went under contract — 100 sales is a lot for a 15-day period and if all of those homes were to make it closing (and we used that sales rate to figure the absorption rate), the absorption rate would be a drastically improved 4.6 months of inventory.
