Kansas City homebuyer activity slows, 45% of listings reduce prices
"Nearly half of Kansas City metro home sellers cut their asking prices in the week ending Nov. 29, 2025, as the market navigates a delicate balance between rising inventory and slowing buyer activity. The 45.2% price reduction rate coincides with active listings climbing to 4,723 homes while weekly absorption dropped to 511 properties. The surge in price adjustments reflects sellers' recognition of shifting market dynamics."
"The median list price held relatively steady at $359,485, up 0.5% from $357,530 last year. At $183.3 per square foot, Kansas City homes remain more affordable than the national average of $209.92 per square foot, though pricier than Missouri's statewide median of $165.51. Among active listings with price reductions, the median decrease magnitude provides insight into seller flexibility. Meanwhile, only 2.3% of listings increased their asking prices, and 8.1% of properties were relisted after previous market exposure."
