Home sales across the Mid-Kansas region increased in February compared to the same month last year, while home prices and overall sales volume also posted significant gains.
According to the latest housing data, a total of 86 homes were sold in February, representing an 11.7% increase from the 77 homes sold in February 2025. The region also saw a sharp rise in total sales value, with $16.5 million in sales volume, up 27.2% from a year earlier.
Home prices continued their upward trend. The median sale price in February reached $167,250, compared to $136,000 during the same month last year, reflecting a notable increase in property values.
Homes also continued to move relatively quickly on the market. Properties that sold in February were typically listed for 28 days before selling, and sellers received about 99% of their original list price on average, indicating strong buyer demand.
While sales rose, the number of available homes declined. At the end of February, the Mid-Kansas region had 235 active listings, down from 261 homes available at the same time in 2025. The current inventory represents about a 1.9-month supply of homes, suggesting a tighter housing market for buyers.
The median list price of homes still on the market at the end of February was $199,000.
Activity in pending sales slowed slightly during the month. Realtors reported 108 contracts written in February, down from 116 contracts in February 2025. Despite that decline, 147 homes remained under contract and pending at the end of the month, indicating continued activity heading into the spring homebuying season.
Housing markets across Kansas often begin to pick up as spring approaches, making March and April key months for both buyers and sellers in the region.
