The median home price in Miami County was $399,995 in July 2026, while the average sales price reached $498,680. Both measures increased sharply from July 2025, although Miami County's relatively small monthly sales sample can make single-month percentage changes more volatile.

Miami County Home Prices
The median price is often the better measure of what a typical buyer paid because half of all completed sales were above $399,995 and half were below it. The average sales price was substantially higher because the mix of homes sold during July included enough higher-priced transactions to pull the average upward.
Miami County's monthly sales volume is much smaller than larger Kansas City metro counties. Only 46 homes closed during July 2026, compared with 51 one year earlier. With a smaller number of transactions, a relatively small change in the mix of acreage properties, newer construction, larger homes or higher-priced properties can have a significant effect on the monthly median and average.
The year-to-date figures provide a broader benchmark. Through the first seven months of 2026, the median sales price was $349,900, compared with $316,000 during the same period in 2025. The year-to-date average sales price increased from $352,644 to $395,684.
Paola and Louisburg Home Prices
Search demand for Paola home prices and Louisburg home prices overlaps with broader Miami County home-price research, but one countywide number should not be treated as the exact home value for either community.
Paola includes established neighborhoods, newer subdivisions, larger-lot properties and rural homes. Louisburg includes established subdivisions, newer construction and acreage properties. Because property type and lot size can vary widely, local comparable sales often provide much better guidance than the countywide median.
Spring Hill also deserves special attention because the city extends into both Miami County and Johnson County. Buyers should confirm the county, taxing jurisdiction, school district and relevant comparable-sale area before comparing a Spring Hill home with the Miami County benchmark.

Home Prices Vary Across Miami County Communities
Countywide figures provide a useful benchmark, but they should not be treated as the exact home price for every community. Home values can vary significantly based on acreage, property condition, home age, lot size, outbuildings, school district, location and the availability of recent comparable sales.
Paola
Established neighborhoods, newer subdivisions and rural properties create substantial variation in home prices within the Paola area.
Prepare for a Paola purchaseLouisburg
Newer homes, established subdivisions and acreage properties can produce local prices that differ meaningfully from the countywide median.
Spring Hill
Spring Hill spans Miami and Johnson counties. County location, taxes, school boundaries and nearby sales should be verified before making comparisons.
Osawatomie
A different mix of older homes and entry-level housing can make Osawatomie pricing substantially different from Paola, Louisburg or acreage markets.
Bucyrus & Rural Miami County
Acreage, outbuildings, utilities, land quality and improvements can have a major effect on value and appraisal comparability.
Fontana & Smaller Communities
Lower transaction volume means that individual sales can have a larger effect on short-term price statistics and comparable-sale selection.
What the Miami County Market Means for Buyers and Sellers
For buyers
With 2.9 months of supply, Miami County remained relatively tight overall. Buyers should complete mortgage pre-approval before making an offer and use property-specific comparable sales rather than relying only on the July median.
Acreage and rural properties may also require additional consideration of wells, septic systems, outbuildings, land characteristics and appraisal comparability.
Start mortgage pre-approvalFor sellers
Sellers received an average of 96.4% of their original list price in July, compared with 96.9% one year earlier. That suggests pricing still matters, even in a market with fewer than three months of supply.
The unusually large monthly price increase should not be treated as evidence that every property appreciated by the same percentage.
For payment planning
Purchase price is only one component of a monthly housing payment. Buyers should also account for mortgage rate, property taxes, homeowners insurance, down payment, loan program and any applicable HOA obligations.
