June Housing Market Update: Why Now is a Prime Time to Sell in Kansas City Northland

If you’ve been waiting for a sign from the universe to sell your home in Kansas City’s Northland… consider this your billboard. The June housing market brought a whirlwind of numbers, shifts, and strategic opportunity—especially for sellers in Clay and Platte counties.

Let’s break down what’s really happening (minus the sugarcoating) and why this moment might just be your golden ticket.

Clay County: Buyers Are Back, and They Brought Friends

In Clay County, home values are holding strong, with the average sales price sitting right around $375,000. Even better? Homes are flying off the market slightly faster than they were this time last year.

Yes, closed sales took a minor dip, but pending sales are up, and inventory climbed 14%. That’s a big deal. Why? It means buyers are active, competition is still relatively low, and if you’re thinking about selling—your window to win is wide open.

Translation for sellers: your well-staged, well-priced home could be the next hot property.

Platte County: The Plot Twist We Needed

Meanwhile, Platte County entered the chat like a character in a rom-com after a breakup—motivated, bold, and dropping inventory like it’s hot. We’re talking a 28% increase in active listings month-over-month.

Both closed sales and pending contracts are ticking up, and while the average May sale price dipped slightly to just under $448,000, year-to-date values are still climbing. And let’s be real—when your “dip” still flirts with half a million, you’re doing just fine.

Buyers are seeing more choices—but they’re still ready to pounce on the right home. If yours checks the boxes (clean, staged, and dialed-in on pricing), it’ll stand out faster than a brand-new Range Rover in a Walmart parking lot.

Sellers: Stop Waiting for the Market to Knock. It’s Already at Your Door.

In both Clay and Platte counties, the signals are clear: inventory is rising, buyers are active, and demand is strong for homes that look good and are priced right.

This isn’t the time to sit on the sidelines. It’s time to list strategically and make your move while the market is leaning in your favor.
