THE INDEXKC- KC METRO MARKET UPDATE
Weekly KC Metro Market Update
Are you claiming confusing over the market shift? Let’s sort that out quickly!
Buyers watched fewer homes come to market this week, while average list values and average sales values deflated a little bit. The rise in price reductions defintely sets the stage for an outstanding opportunity for Buyers who want to purchase competitively and refinance later.
Keep in mind, prices will continue to drop, just slowly. We didn’t see the HUGE upswing in value that the Sunbelt states delivered, so we won’t see the HUGE drop in prices either.
Sellers inventories are still low (in spite of the rise in inventories over the past 4 weeks) and that will keep prices from dropping the degree that other markets have experienced.
