Local Market Update: December 15, 2023

Turning to our local housing market, our area numbers remain steady. Looking at the chart below, you’ll see that Average Sales Price increased more than 13.6 percent compared to last year in November 2022. This supports a trend that typically home values continue to increase year over year in Johnson County. Closed Sales decreased as the group of homebuyers is lower than what we’ve seen in years past due to the increased mortgage rates compared to previous years. It’s interesting to see that pending sales are almost similar in comparison to last year, which shows that our local real estate market remains robust. This is great news as we enter the new year in 2024.
