July 29, 2025: Kansas City Northland Housing Market Update: Why Now Is the Time to Sell
If the Kansas City Northland housing market were a person right now, it’d be that friend who claims they’re “just browsing” at Target and somehow ends up at checkout with a full cart. Buyers are still shopping—and sellers who act strategically are the ones cashing in.
Let’s break it down by county so you can see where the real opportunities are.
The average list price in Clay County held steady at around $379,500, up 1.3% from last month. Even better? Homes are selling fast—just 27 days on average, which is 13% faster than last month.
What does this mean if you’re a seller? The market is moving, and buyers aren’t dragging their feet. If your home is clean, competitively priced, and presented well, it’s getting attention. This is your green light to list before inventory rises and competition heats up.
Platte County is also heating up—though it’s a different story than Clay. The average sales price dipped 4% to $452,000, but closed sales surged 25%. Buyers are still writing offers, but they’re choosier about where their money goes.
Homes are spending a little more time on the market here, with the average days on market rising to 38, and inventory is beginning to climb. For sellers, that’s a warning sign: price your home right and market it aggressively now, or risk chasing the market downward as more listings hit.
The bottom line? Buyers are active, inventory is growing, and timing is everything. Waiting could mean missing your window to sell quickly and at a strong price point.
