Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (May 2026).
Year-over-year, Riley County home values have climbed solidly, with the typical home value up about 12 percent to roughly $311,000 while the median list price is up just over 8 percent. Compared with Kansas as a whole, where prices are rising at a slower pace, local appreciation looks stronger and points to firm demand.
In the latest May report, sales activity accelerated, with homes sold up about 25 percent from a year ago and nearly a third higher than just last month. Buyers are finding fewer options relative to demand, as months of supply has fallen to about 1.5 months, well below the state’s 2.3 months, signaling a tighter seller’s market locally.

“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".”
