Kansas City Homes Among Fastest-Selling in the Country

KC Daily

We love Kansas City and think it’s a great place to live. And so does everyone else. Zillow’s March 2024 Market Report found that Kansas City’s real estate market is among the fastest-moving in the country.

  • You Gotta Be Quicker Than That: According to the report, Kansas City metro homes were tied for first for the shortest length of Days on Market at 4 days. The only other cities with an average of 4 days were Columbus, OH & Cincinnati, OH.

  • But Wait!: There is good news for homebuyers in this crazy market. Zillow also found that Kansas City was the ninth-best market for first-time home buyers in 2024. This is based on factors like home-buyers’ age, income, and affordable listings.

If you’re in the middle of the house-hunting process, good luck.
