March 31, 2025: Kansas City Northland March Real Estate Market Update – What Buyers and Sellers Need to Know Now
If you’re living in the Northland of Kansas City, you already know Missouri weather is as unpredictable as ever. One day it’s sunshine, the next it’s snow—and somewhere in between, you’re sweating through your winter coat. But while the weather keeps us guessing, the housing market is sending a few clear signals, especially in Clay and Platte Counties.
Whether you’re looking to buy or sell in the Northland, understanding the current trends can give you a competitive edge—and that’s exactly what we’re here to break down.
Average Home Price: $370,000
Year-Over-Year Price Increase: +2.6%
Average Days on Market: 52
Inventory Change: -12.7%
Supply Drop: -17.6%
Pending Sales: ↓ 17.7%
If you’re a homeowner in Clay County, now might be your moment. Home prices are up, and inventory is down—meaning fewer homes are competing for buyer attention. It’s a bit like being the only person who brought queso to a potluck: you’re going to stand out.
But don’t let the low inventory fool you—buyers are being selective. With pending sales down nearly 18%, it’s clear people are taking their time and holding out for the right property at the right price. Homes that aren’t priced accurately or marketed effectively are sitting… and sitting.
Seller Tip:
With supply so low, sellers have a unique opportunity—but only if their home is priced right and presented in a way that grabs attention. If your property isn’t getting offers, it may not be the market—it could be the marketing.
Average Home Price: $424,000
Price Decrease: -4%
Median Sales Price: ↓ 3.8%
Average Days on Market: ↓ 16%
Inventory Increase: +38%
Pending Sales: ↑ 7.3%
Over in Platte County, the scene looks a little different. Home prices have dipped slightly, but the pace is picking up—homes are selling faster than they were last year. However, inventory is climbing, which gives buyers more choices and makes competition a bit steeper for sellers.
The bright side? Pending sales are up, showing that buyers are active and ready to move when they find the right fit.
Seller Tip:
In this environment, you’ll need a strategy to stand out from the growing crowd. Price it right, market it well, and you could still land that ideal buyer quickly.
Whether you’re in Clay County or Platte County, selling a home in 2025 is not the same game it was in 2024. Today’s buyers are better informed and more selective, and the market is shifting in real time.
This is not the time to toss a “For Sale” sign in the yard and hope for the best. It’s the time to get strategic, lean on professional expertise, and make sure your home is priced accurately and marketed to the right audience.
