After calculating the absorption rate over the past 15 days in Shawnee Kansas, we find the city has 6.4 months of inventory currently on the market. This amount of inventory is considered a buyer’s market but the city is getting closer to a balanced amount of inventory. During the past 15 days, 67 homes went under contract and that figure was nearly triple the volume of homes sold (closed). If we instead used the homes that went under contract to calculate the absorption rate in Shawnee Kansas, there’s just 2.3 months of inventory on the market.

Home Prices Show Signs Of Stabilizing In Kansas Despite Significant Drop In Volume Of Sales

Checking The Pulse Of The Kansas City Real Estate Market

The recent Kansas Association of Realtors (KAR) report on February’s real estate market indicates both the volume of home sales and average sales prices are trending down in the state. Overall in the state of Kansas, home sales (closings) fell 7.7% in February 2011 compared with February of 2010. This is vastly different from the 5% rise in average sales price we saw in last months’ report. Home prices did stabilize though and the 1.8% drop in sales prices was much improved after last month’s report which showed an 8% fall in home prices. Compared to the 5.2% national drop in home prices, Kansas appears much more stable than other U.S. markets.

There’s currently 11.7 months of inventory on the market in the state of Kansas, which is almost 1.5 months less than in last month’s report. Looking closely at our local market in Johnson County Kansas, 351 homes were sold (closed) in February. This was just slightly less than the 369 home sales in Johnson County in February 2010. Comparing this February’s sales rate  (adjusting for the short month) to the 3,786 Johnson County Kansas homes for sale, there’s 9.2 months of inventory available. This indicates a buyer’s real estate market in Johnson County Kansas and presents first time home buyers, move-up buyers and buyers considering a lateral move with an excellent opportunity to explore their options.
