Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Sep 2026).
Douglas County currently reflects a neutral housing market, with conditions not strongly favoring either side. Months of supply has risen to 6.4, far above the Kansas state level of 2.7, signaling more options for buyers and more competition among sellers.
Pricing trends show mixed signals that help explain this balance. Typical home value is up about 9 percent year over year, yet it dropped sharply month over month, while the average sale-to-list ratio sits just under 100 percent and only about 14 percent of homes sell above asking.
On the activity side, inventory and new listings have climbed, with active listings up more than 30 percent and new listings rising at a similar pace compared with last year. At the same time, homes are taking longer to sell, with median days on market up both month over month and year over year, and Agent Pronto can help both buyers and sellers find an agent who understands how to navigate these shifting dynamics.
Douglas County offers residents a vibrant, family-friendly community with abundant parks and trails, excellent schools, thriving local businesses, and easy access to cultural, employment, and healthcare opportunities.
Douglas County combines a major university town with smaller communities and open prairie, creating an area that is both accessible and highly livable. Anchored by Lawrence, with additional options in Eudora and Baldwin City, the county sits along I 70 and K 10, offering straightforward trips to Kansas City and Topeka.
Daily life is practical and convenient. Lawrence’s walkable core centers on Massachusetts Street, where you will find local eateries, galleries, and events tied to the University of Kansas. Families value strong public schools through Lawrence Public Schools and Baldwin City USD 348, while Haskell Indian Nations University adds unique educational and cultural depth.
Outdoor access is a standout. Popular spots like Clinton State Park and the Lawrence Loop multiuse trail make it easy to fit in hiking, biking, and time on the water. Local resources such as the Lawrence Public Library and the Douglas County site help residents stay connected to services, events, and countywide initiatives.
Whether you are comparing neighborhoods near campus, looking for a quieter subdivision in Eudora, or planning to sell a long held rural property, the market can feel complex. A knowledgeable local real estate agent can interpret micro market trends, explain commute realities, and time your move effectively, helping reduce stress for both buyers and sellers. Agent Pronto connects you with that kind of Douglas County expertise.

“Rick was amazing to work with!! We would highly recommend him to anyone looking for an honest, hardworking realtor who truly cares about the wants and needs of his clients. Rick always gave 110% and then some”
“Linda is a great agent. She will go the extra mile to ensure you get the best price for your home. She is responsive when you need help with anything throughout the process. If your buying she will search until she finds you the perfect home”
“Jeremy was a fantastic guy and I could not have chose a better person to represent us as we were looking for a house. He would stay up late answering our first-time home buyer questions and would get us into see houses we wanted to tour very very quickly. An amazing individual all around and a fantastic realtor. 12/10 stars!”
“Tyler is a remarkable human being first and foremost, when we were about to give up and God sent Tyler. He went to the ends of the earth for us and brought us through this journey of selling our home successfully. We are extremely blessed to know Tyler.”
“Patrick and Christina are literally amazing. They go above and beyond for their clients and on a personal level have gone our do their way to check on us even long after a sale is done. We’ve used them now 4 times in both selling and buying experiences and have been blown away. Their team is top notch and I know of I reccomend someone to them they’ll be taken care of.”
“Isaac stated that he was a good negotiator and he wasn't kidding, he was patient with us and sent homes that exactly matched our criteria. He was very easy to work with, very responsive, and provided an overall wonderful experience for us during a very stressful time in our life. Highly recommend.”
“We can’t recommend our real estate agent Blair highly enough. From November through January, he dedicated his weekends to taking us all over — often well outside the city and sometimes more than an hour away — until we finally found the right home. He was consistently kind, patient, and courteous, and never made us feel rushed or pressured. One thing we really appreciated was how thorough he was. He always helped us check properties for FHA compliance and made sure we understood what to look for, which saved us a lot of stress and potential surprises. Early on he even gently suggested a different lender — advice we now realize would have saved us a lot of headaches (Rocket Mortgage ended up being very difficult to work with). Throughout the entire process, he made everything feel easier. He was professional, honest, and also genuinely fun to work with — his humor and positive attitude made long days of house hunting enjoyable. Most importantly, we always felt like he was truly on our side and looking out for our best interests. We’re so grateful for his hard work and guidance and would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for an agent who is knowledgeable, dedicated, and supportive from start to finish.”
“I reached out to Shelee when I originally started thinking about buying my first home. Well, four weeks later we closed on my house in Spring Hill. She made the entire process so easy, answered all 1000 questions I had and was so incredible to work with. She has a client for life!”
“Heather was fantastic in helping us find our home! She was knowledgable and kept us in the loop during the whole process. We highly recommend her to anybody buying or selling their home!”
“Wonderful experience with agent Jason Robinson. He went above and beyond to be helpful throughout the process. Highly recommend!”
“The best real estate agent ever. Very helpful, organized, knowledgeable and genuinely provided the best possible experience in the home buying process. If it weren't for Gina I wouldn't be a current home home owner. Her encouragement and patience helped me and my Mom get through the unexpected hurdles. Gina is a "Gem".”
“Alison is very knowledgeable about the housing market and is an expert negotiator. In addition she is an excellent communicator and most of all have shown patience with our indecisiveness. She has helped us make smart decisions in both selling and finding our house.”
“Melissa has been a helpful source of information in the years leading up to our decision to buy a home. In 2019 we decided to pull the trigger and buy house. Melissa gave valuable insight into how (from a financial perspective) to prepare for buying our first house and pointers on where to start to understand how to best qualify for a home loan. Once we were ready to start shopping, Melissa referred me to an amazing lender that I ended up working with to get our loan who in turn referred me to an excellent insurance broker whom I now use for all my insurance needs. I love the network we are part of as a result of our relationship with Melissa! From a knowledge perspective Melissa is invaluable! No matter how many questions I had (and still have lol) she was and still is always ready and willing to answer them for me or help me find the answers. 2019 was a competitive market and in order to see and buy a house we had to be able to be flexible in timing and Melissa always accommodated our schedule to help us view a home ASAP. She is incredibly knowledgeable with regard to the whole metro area which was invaluable to us. Melissa always had excellent insight into neighborhoods and more importantly, the house itself. Melissa is exceptionally knowledgeable when it comes to identifying potential issues, "tell tale" signs of problems that I never would have noticed if I were by myself. Melissa is honest and genuine and I never felt like she was just trying to sell me house or trying to get me to buy an expensive one. It always felt like she was trying to help my fiance and I find the right home! Between her sweet attitude, expertise and network my fiance and I had a smooth experience buying a home from beginning to end. I would highly recommend Melissa to my best friends, my family and anyone looking to begin their home buying journey. There is no reason to look any further because she is the best!”
