Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Aug 2026).
Year-over-year, Riley County’s housing market shows more activity with a notable jump in both homes sold and new listings, even as prices have held relatively steady. Typical home values are nearly flat compared with last year, while the county’s median sale price now trails the Kansas state median, which has risen more strongly.
Looking at the latest monthly snapshot for August 2026, listing prices have ticked down from the prior month, and the typical home value has eased slightly as well. Even with these small price dips, homes are still moving at a steady pace, with a median of 21 days on the market.
Inventory has expanded modestly over the past year, yet months of supply sits at just 2.3, keeping Riley County in a seller’s market and somewhat tighter than the state overall. With more new and pending listings flowing through the market and conditions favoring sellers but offering buyers more choices than earlier this year, Agent Pronto can connect both buyers and sellers with an experienced local agent to navigate these dynamics.
Riley County offers residents a welcoming, outdoors-friendly lifestyle with strong schools, a vibrant cultural scene, and abundant recreational and community opportunities.
