๐ What Does This Mean for Buyers & Sellers?
The Kansas City housing market continues to experience price appreciation, while available inventory remains limited.
With pending sales increasing and inventory declining, buyers are still navigating a competitive market. Meanwhile, homeowners may be hesitant to sell because they don’t want to give up the lower mortgage rates they secured in previous years.
Borrowing costs also remain an important factor. The Federal Reserve raised its federal funds rate target by a quarter of a percentage point to 3.75%โ4%, marking its first increase since July 2023.
Understanding these trends can help buyers and sellers make more informed decisions about their next move.
