Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Clay County real estate market. *
August 2026
Monthly data for the latest available year.
Monthly supply and activity totals for the latest available year.
Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Aug 2026).
Clay County is in a clear seller’s market, with only 1.6 months of supply in August. Active listings are steady at 32, barely changed from a year ago. Even with limited inventory, homes sold jumped sharply from last year, with 13 closings in August, up more than 50 percent.
Contract activity shows some mixed signals. Pending sales are still higher than a year ago, but they fell compared with July, while new listings climbed more than 70 percent year over year, suggesting more owners are testing the market and some buyers are taking longer to commit.
Pricing has been responding to these shifts. The typical home value is just under $231,000, only slightly higher than a year ago, but the median list price is up more than 30 percent year over year, showing sellers are feeling confident. Homes are moving faster, with the median days on market down sharply from July, though slightly higher than last year. Compared with Kansas as a whole, Clay County has tighter inventory than the state’s 2.6 months of supply, which helps explain the firmer pricing despite modest value gains. Buyers and sellers who want to navigate these conditions can turn to Agent Pronto to connect with an experienced local agent who understands this evolving market.
Clay County offers residents a welcoming, close-knit community with affordable living, abundant outdoor recreation, and practical local amenities that support a high quality of life.
Clay County immediately feels distinct from nearby regional centers like Riley County or Geary County, offering a quieter rural lifestyle with strong community roots and a practical cost of living. Daily life tends to move between small communities such as Clay Center and Wakefield, where neighbors greet each other at the grocery store, ball field, or Friday night events.
Clay Center serves as the county hub, with amenities that support both long‑time residents and newcomers. Families appreciate local schools like Clay Center Community High School, while outdoor enthusiasts head for Clay Center Utility Park or the Clay Center Aquatic Park for warm‑weather recreation. To the west, Wakefield offers quick access to Milford Lake, one of the region’s best spots for boating, fishing, and camping.
Local identity shows up in everyday gathering places. Residents meet over coffee at small cafés in Clay Center, support youth sports, and attend county fairs and school events that keep the social calendar full. The compact size of the county makes it easy to reach services, parks, and the Clay Center Carnegie Library without sacrificing a sense of open space.
Whether you are preparing to sell a longtime family home or hoping to secure a property before the next school year, timing and preparation matter. Agent Pronto connects buyers and sellers in Clay County with the right real estate agent so you can move forward with confidence.
