Mid-Kansas home sales declined in November as the region continued to experience a cooling market paired with rising inventory.
According to the latest market data, 99 homes sold in November, down from 117 sales during the same month in 2024. Total sales volume also dipped, coming in at $20.5 million, marking a year-over-year decrease.
Despite the slowdown in activity, prices continued to trend upward. The median sale price rose to $175,100, compared to $157,000 one year earlier. Homes that did sell moved at a relatively brisk pace, spending a median of 21 days on the market and closing at 98.1 percent of their list price, reflecting continued buyer competition for well-priced properties.
Inventory showed a modest increase. The Mid-Kansas region ended November with 291 active listings, up from 271 at the same time last year. That level represents a 2.4-month supply of homes on the market — still below what is typically considered a balanced market but higher than earlier in the year. The median list price for homes on the market was $189,900.
Contract activity also held steady. Ninety-six purchase contracts were written in November, compared to 97 during the same month in 2024. At month’s end, 125 contracts remained pending, suggesting a stable pipeline heading into December.
Overall, the November numbers reflect a market that is continuing to normalize from the heightened activity of recent years, with rising prices, slower sales, and an increasing number of homes available across the Mid-Kansas region.
