Using these past 15 days of market stats to figure the absorption rate in Overland Park Kansas, there’s currently 4.2 months of inventory on the market.  This is improving and Overland Park continues to be one of the most resilient real estate markets in the country. There were even a few more homes that went pending than closed, so it’s possible the next 30 days could be even better. We’ll see if sales rates continue to improve.

Please keep in mind that looking at 15 days of market stats is just a small snap shot of local Overland Park Kansas real estate activity. Market conditions also vary greatly from one subdivision to another and you don’t have to take just a macro look at market activity. You can feel free to contact me to obtain detailed market stats on YOUR specific city, community or subdivision within Overland Park, Overland Park zip code, etc.

In the city of Olathe Kansas there continues to be more homes coming on the market than homes going under contract (i.e. pending) or than homes being sold (closed). This creates a further surplus of supply in Olathe KS. Using the past 15 days as a basis for figuring the absorption rate in Olathe, there’s nearly 5.5 months of inventory on the market. If we instead use the 112 homes that went under contract as the basis for figuring the absorption rate, we see an improved 4.3 months of inventory on the market – of course it’s unknown whether all of those 112 homes will make it to the closing table.   

Keep in mind that a 15-day period is a small sampling of Olathe Kansas 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.

Lees Summit Missouri

Lee's Summit Missouri

 

In the city of Lee’s Summit Missouri there continues to be more homes coming on the market than homes going under contract (pending) or than homes being sold (closed). There is good news in that the number of home that went under contract (87) in the past 15 days is almost the same as the number of new homes that came on the market (90) in Lee’s Summit MO. Still, when using the past 15 days of sales as a basis for figuring the absorption rate in Lee’s Summit, there’s nearly 13 months of inventory on the market. 

If we use the number of homes that went under contract (rather than the homes that closed) to figure the absorption rate in Lee’s Summit, the figure is a much-improved 5.2 months of inventory. Let’s hope all those pending sales make it all the way to the closing Also, keep in mind that a 15-day period is a small sampling of Lee’s Summit Missouri market activity and 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.

In the city of Prairie Village KS there continues to be more homes coming on the market than homes going under contract (pending) or than homes being sold (closed). This creates a further surplus of supply in Prairie Village Kansas. Using the past 15 days of sold homes to calculate the absorption rate in Prairie Village, there’s almost 9.5 months of inventory on the market. Triple the number of homes went under contract (compared to homes sold) and if we run with the assumption that all those homes will make it to the closing table (they won’t), then the absorption rate is just slightly over 3 months of inventory. If all those homes make it to the closing table that is an impressive figure and things would be looking solid in Prairie Village.

Keep in mind that a 15-day period is a small sampling of Prairie Village Kansas market activity. This information shows 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.

In the city of Leawood Kansas there continues to be more homes coming on the market than homes going under contract (i.e. pending) or than homes being sold (closed). This creates a further surplus of supply in Leawood. Using the past 15 days as a basis for figuring the absorption rate in Leawood KS there is just about 14 and a half months of inventory on the market. The under contract stats were better than the closed stats and if we use the 30 homes that went under contract in Leawood over the past 15 days, then there’s about 7.3 months of inventory.

Keep in mind that a 15-day period is a small sampling of Leawood Kansas real estate 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.

In the city of Overland Park KS there continues to be more homes coming on the market than homes going under contract (pending) or than homes being sold (closed). This creates a further surplus of supply in Overland Park Kansas. Using the past 15 days of closed homes as a basis for figuring the absorption rate in Overland Park, there’s a little over 8 months of inventory on the market. As we’ve been seeing in most areas of the Kansas City metro, the Pending sales are looking better than the homes closed. If we run the numbers based on Pending sales (remember that all pending sales will not make it to the closing table), then the absorption rate is much improved 4.5 months of inventory.

In Johnson County Kansas there continues to be more homes coming on the market than homes going under contract (pending) or than homes being sold (closed). This creates a further surplus of supply in Johnson County KS. Using the past 7 days as a basis for figuring the absorption rate in Johnson County, there’s about 14 months of inventory on the market. Again, that’s using the 72 homes sold to calculate the absorption rate. If we use the homes that went under contract instead (and assume they’ll all make it to the closing table), then the absorption rate is a much improved 4.8. This shows us that contracts being written has REALLY picked up with the spring market.

Do keep in mind that a 7-day period is a very small sampling of Johnson County Kansas market activity and designed to simply provide look at the what’s going on now in the current real estate market. While a 7-day period could indicate a trend forming it does not necessarily show a real estate markets long-term trend.

In the city of Olathe Kansas there continues to be more homes coming on the market than homes going under contract (pending) or than homes being sold (closed). This creates a further surplus of supply in Olathe KS. Using the past 15 days as a basis for figuring the absorption rate in Olathe, there is a little more than 9 months of inventory on the market.

There was a more impressive number of homes going under contract (87) and if we use the number of pending sales as the basis for figuring the absorption rate then the months of inventory is a little under 6 months. That’s the best figure I’ve seen in a while so hopefully all the homes make it to the closing table. It should be noted that the average list price of those homes that went under contract was around $194,000 while the average list price of the 144 new listings was around $275,000. That’s quite a difference.
