Using these past 15 days of market stats to figure the absorption rate in Olathe Kansas, there’s currently 7.05 months of inventory on the market. This is higher than that’s what we’re seeing in Johnson County Kansas as a whole.  However, as we’ve also been seeing in other cities over the past several months, the number of contracts being written is higher than homes sold over the given period – which is a promising trend.

In Olathe, there were 37 more contracts written than homes closed (went under contract at some point previously). If we use the number of contracts pending (rather than solds) to figure the absorption rate, there’s 4.5 months of inventory on the market in Olathe. Of course, all those homes with contracts written would have to make it closing, which is never likely. Looking at 15 days of market stats is a small snap shot of Olathe Kansas local activity. Market conditions certainly vary greatly from one subdivision to another, so don’t take just a macro look at market activity. when making your real estate decisions.
