Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (May 2026).
Year-over-year, Ottawa County’s numbers show some sharp shifts. The typical home value is down significantly from last May, while the median list price is up more than 30 percent, suggesting sellers are reaching higher on asking prices. Inventory has expanded, with active listings up more than 60 percent compared with a year ago.
In May 2026, the median list price sat at about $173,850, while the typical home value was around $122,600. Homes are now taking a median of 18 days to sell, a huge increase from last year but a steep drop from April’s longer timelines, and months of supply sits at 2.7, higher than the Kansas average of 2.3 months.
Recent activity shows 7 homes sold in May, up from April but still below last year’s pace, while new listings have more than tripled compared with a year ago, giving buyers more choices. Roughly 29 percent of recent sales closed above list price and the average sale-to-list ratio is just over 91 percent, pointing to some negotiation room even as select homes draw strong offers. With a market gauge reading leaning toward buyers, conditions can feel very different from one property to the next. Buyers looking for value and sellers aiming to price strategically can both benefit from an Agent Pronto-recommended real estate agent who understands these local trends.
Learn more about what Ottawa County has to offer.
Ottawa County offers residents a welcoming small-town atmosphere, abundant outdoor recreation, and a supportive, close-knit community that makes it easy to live, work, and grow.
Ottawa County stands apart from nearby regional hubs with its quiet, agricultural landscape combined with quick access to larger employers and services in Salina and Manhattan. Residents value the strong sense of continuity here, where farms, small towns, and the Solomon and Saline River corridors create a setting that feels grounded and practical rather than hurried.
Minneapolis is the county seat and a focal point, with local history showcased at the Ottawa County Museum and family outings at Rock City Park. Community life revolves around Friday night games at Minneapolis High School, library programs at the Ottawa County Public Library, and shared events in smaller communities like Bennington and Delphos. Outdoor enthusiasts appreciate nearby Kanopolis Lake and the trail systems and sports facilities across Saline County.
Housing options range from historic homes in town to acreages and working farms, with relatively attainable prices compared with Riley County or Douglas County. That appeals to first time buyers, those relocating for a quieter lifestyle, and long time residents planning their next chapter.
Whether you are considering selling a long held family home or preparing to buy before the next school year, timing and preparation are essential in this close knit market. Agent Pronto connects you with the right Ottawa County real estate professional so both buyers and sellers can move forward with confidence.
Trusted by over 500,000 buyers and sellers.

“I have never worked with such an amazing & honest Realtor in my life. Jason provided me with so much information I've never ever seen that much before. I truly think if I would of called him at 2am he would of answered. Now I asked him for alot of extra help. Too much truthfully but he would respond almost immediately & if I needed help with something or had a question he was on it & I never was left hanging once. I'm so thankful I found him & he impressed me immediately. I wish every realtor could be like him 1 word "Exceptionalizsm".”
