Volume Of Home Sales In Kansas During September Outpaces Rest Of The U.S.

Checking The Pulse Of The Kansas City Real Estate Market

The final September stats released by the Kansas Association of Realtors shows another huge improvement for the state of Kansas real estate market. Home sales rose 12.2% during the month compared to September of 2010. The volume of home sales across the state went from 2,205 last September to 2,473 in September of this year. The increase in sales is helping eat up housing inventory, thus reducing the supply of homes. That is key factor needed to stabilize house prices. Still, despite the increase in homes sales, the average sales price during the month of September did fall 0.4%. But this easily outpaced the rest of the U.S., where average sales price fell 3.5%.

Factoring in the 18,812 homes for sale in Kansas at the end of September against a sales rate of 2,473 homes sold (in September), we find 7.6 months of inventory on the market in Kansas at the end of September. This amount of inventory indicates a continuation of the buyer’s market in Kansas, making it a great time for buyers to get a great deal when buying a home. 

In Johnson County Kansas, the September stats look even better than across the state. 638 homes were sold in Johnson County Kansas during September and factoring that against the 3,597 homes currently for sale in Johnson County Kansas, it calculates to 5.6 months of inventory on the market in Johnson County. This amount of inventory is considered a balanced real estate market, meaning Johnson County continues to be one of the strongest real estate markets in the Kansas City area and across the state of Kansas.

15 Days of Shawnee Kansas Market Activity

Using the past 15 days of market stats to calculate the absorption rate in Shawnee Kansas, we find there’s 6.3 months of inventory on the market. This figure is based on the 369 homes for sale in Shawnee Kansas. These stats are much improved from a little over a month ago when we had well more than a year of inventory on the market in Shawnee. The improvements were seeing are mostly do a higher volume of sales (closings) over the past 15 days, rather than fewer homes being present on the market.

15 Days of Shawnee KS Market Activity

I calculated the city of Shawnee’s real estate absorption rate using the past 15 days of market stats. I then compared that absorption rate against the current volume of homes for sale in Shawnee Kansas. What I found is a very high 19.5 months of inventory currently on the market. The sales rate we saw the past 15 days – of just 4.5 closing a week for the entire city – is very slow. The sales pace needs to pick up to eat more quickly into the 350+ homes for sale in Shawnee.

Low samplings in any category can skew results. Stats may not be an exact 15 days from date of this post. DOM = Days On Market.

The Pending sales over the same 15 day period was better, with 20 homes going under contract. But even if we assume all those homes will make it to the closing table (and used that figure to calculate the absorption rate), there’s still 8.8 months of inventory on the market in Shawnee KS. If you are planning to buy or sell a home in Shawnee, please contact me to discuss your buying or selling situation. I look forward to learning about your real estate objectives and helping you make it happen.

* Average Newest Under Contract considers the price the homes were listed at when they went under contract. Data pulled from Heartland MLS and deemed reliable but not guaranteed. Low samplings in any category can skew a particular category. DOM is Days On Market. Note the date of this post as market stats become outdated. Stats may not be an exact 15 days. Stats were pulled 7 AM on 2/17/09.

In the city of Shawnee 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 of homes in Shawnee. Using the past 15 days of sales as a basis for figuring the absorption rate in Shawnee KS, there’s more than 2 years of inventory on the market. If we use the Pending sales as the basis for calculating the absorption rate, the numbers look better and there is less than 8 months of inventory. Keep in mind that a 15-day period is a small sampling of 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. The fact that the pending sales have picked up is a good sign and if most of them make it to the closing table then that certainly will be promising. Note that the average sales price was about $208,000 and the average listed price of the homes that went under contract was around $224,000. Both figures are lower than the average list price of the new listings we saw, which was around $250,000.
