Jackson County Home Prices
The median price is often the better measure of what a typical buyer paid because half of all sales were above $300,000 and half were below it. The average price was higher because higher-priced sales in Lee’s Summit, parts of Kansas City, and other higher-value submarkets can pull the countywide average upward.
Through the first seven months of 2026, the countywide median was $283,300, compared with $270,000 during the same period in 2025. The year-to-date average increased from $314,843 to $326,837.
Kansas City and Lee’s Summit Home Prices
Search demand for Kansas City home prices and Lee’s Summit home prices overlaps with broader Jackson County home-price research, but a countywide number should not be treated as the exact value for every neighborhood.
The Jackson County portion of Kansas City includes urban neighborhoods, historic homes, condominiums, infill development and established suburban areas. Lee’s Summit includes established subdivisions, newer construction, townhomes and higher-priced properties.
Buyers should compare current neighborhood-level sales rather than relying only on the Jackson County median or average.
