Franklin County real estate Market Report.
Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Franklin County real estate market, updated for March 2026. *
Over the past year, Franklin County home values have risen noticeably, up about 11.95 percent. Typical homes here are valued around $229,500, still below the Kansas state typical value of $286,900. At the same time, homes are taking longer to sell than a year ago, with median days on market up about 33.33 percent despite recent month-over-month improvement.
Looking at February 2026, the market shows signs of strong seller leverage but also growing options for buyers. Inventory reached 55 homes, up 7.84 percent from the prior month, while new listings totaled 27, down about 20.59 percent from last year. Homes spent a median of 36 days on the market, and roughly 36.84 percent of sales closed above list price, even as about 27.27 percent of listings saw price drops.
Conditions are projected to shift slightly in March, with typical home values expected around $200,500 and the median list price rising toward $300,000 as inventory edges up to about 57 homes. Franklin County is currently categorized as a Seller's Market with a market gauge of 24, yet buyers still benefit from modestly increasing supply and some pricing flexibility. With Kansas showing a typical home value of $286,900 and far higher statewide inventory at 3,744 homes, local trends can feel nuanced. Both buyers and sellers can navigate these dynamics more confidently by using Agent Pronto to connect with a knowledgeable local real estate agent.

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.
