Kansas City Real Estate Market Update – July 2026
The latest Kansas City real estate market statistics are in for July 2026, and the numbers continue to show a strong and steady housing market. Compared to July 2025, home prices are up, homes are still selling at a healthy pace, and sellers continue to receive close to their asking price.
Here’s a closer look at what the latest numbers tell us about the Kansas City housing market.
Average Sales Price Up 2.5%
The average sales price increased 2.5% in July 2026 compared to July 2025. This year-over-year increase is a positive sign for Kansas City homeowners and shows that home values continue to hold strong.
While the market has become more balanced compared to the extremely competitive conditions we saw a few years ago, buyers are still willing to pay strong prices for homes that are priced correctly and show well.
Homes Are Selling in an Average of 36 Days
The average Kansas City area listing spent 36 days on the market before accepting an offer in July.
For sellers, this means homes aren't necessarily selling overnight, but buyers are still actively looking and making offers. Pricing a home correctly from the beginning continues to be extremely important. Homes that are overpriced may sit longer, while well-priced properties can still attract attention quickly.
Sellers Are Receiving 98.1% of Asking Price
Listings that closed during July sold for an average of 98.1% of their asking price.
That means sellers are still receiving very close to their list price. For buyers, it is a reminder that while there may be opportunities to negotiate, expecting a large discount on a properly priced home may not be realistic.
What Does This Mean for Buyers and Sellers?
For buyers, the Kansas City market is providing more time and opportunity than the extremely competitive markets of previous years. However, desirable homes that are priced correctly can still move quickly, so being prepared and pre-approved remains important.
For sellers, the numbers remain encouraging. Home prices are higher than they were a year ago, properties are accepting offers in just over a month on average, and sellers are receiving more than 98% of their asking price.
The Bottom Line
The July 2026 numbers show a healthy and steady Kansas City real estate market. Average sales prices are up 2.5% year-over-year, homes are accepting offers in an average of 36 days, and sellers are receiving 98.1% of their asking price.
Every neighborhood and price range can perform differently, so understanding what's happening specifically in your area is important. If you're considering buying or selling a home in the Kansas City area, or you're simply curious about what your home could sell for in today's market, I'd be happy to put together a personalized market analysis for you.
