Kansas City Home Prices
The median price is often the better measure of what a typical buyer paid because half of all sales were above $349,900 and half were below it. The average was higher because more expensive transactions can pull the regional average upward.
Through the first seven months of 2026, the median sales price was $335,000, compared with $320,000 during the same period in 2025. The year-to-date average increased from $380,976 to $394,794.
These figures describe the broader Heartland MLS market, not a single city neighborhood. Home prices can vary substantially by county, city, school district, property type, condition and price range.
