Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Aug 2026).
Year over year, Franklin County’s typical home value in August dipped by over 13 percent, even as the median list price rose about 7 percent. Homes sold were down more than 22 percent from last August, but new listings increased slightly, up around 7 percent. Months of supply climbed roughly 17 percent over the year, yet at 2.1 months the market still leans toward sellers.
In the most recent month, buyers saw a notable reset in prices and pace. The median sale price fell nearly 20 percent from July and the median list price dropped more than 13 percent, while median days on market edged up to 20 days.
Inventory and activity tell a mixed story in Franklin County. Active listings are down modestly from last year and sit at 90, and homes are moving more quickly than a year ago, with days on market falling about 10 percent year over year. Only about 12 percent of homes sold above list in August and the average sale-to-list ratio is just under 98 percent, signaling more room for negotiation than in recent months. Compared with Kansas overall, Franklin County has lower prices than the state median and slightly tighter inventory than the 2.6 months of supply seen statewide. Buyers and sellers who want to navigate these shifting conditions can turn to Agent Pronto to connect with a local real estate agent who understands this market.
Learn more about what Franklin County has to offer.
Franklin County offers residents a welcoming blend of small-town charm, abundant outdoor recreation, vibrant community life, and solid opportunities in education and business that sustain a high quality of life.
Franklin County immediately feels distinct from nearby metropolitan suburbs, offering a quieter, more grounded lifestyle while still keeping Kansas City and Lawrence within practical reach. Communities like Ottawa, Wellsville, and Pomona reflect a shared identity built around schools, local businesses, and long-standing neighborhood ties.
Daily life often centers on community spaces and the outdoors. Families gather at Forest Park in Ottawa or head to Pomona State Park for boating, fishing, and camping. Local history and culture are visible at the Old Depot Museum, while the Ottawa Library provides classes, events, and resources for all ages. Dining and coffee options have a personal touch, from long-time favorites in downtown Ottawa to neighborhood spots in Douglas County and Miami County just up the road.
Housing choices range from established in-town neighborhoods in Ottawa to small-acreage properties on the edge of Wellsville and quieter rural roads near Richmond and Princeton. Inventory can move quickly, and condition and pricing vary widely between town and country properties.
Whether you are planning to sell a long-held family home or buy your first place in Franklin County, timing and preparation matter. The right local agent can help you understand current demand, navigate inspections typical for older homes and rural properties, and position you confidently in the market. Agent Pronto connects both buyers and sellers with the Franklin County real estate professionals best equipped to guide that process.
