Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Bates County real estate market, updated for September 2025. *
The typical home value in Bates County is projected to be $192,000 for the month of August. July’s finalized data reported the typical value of a home in the county to be $195,000—up 7.44% over the previous 12 months. For comparison, state-level data pegged home values at $288,000 in Missouri for the most recent reporting period. That number is expected to float around $286,700 in August.
The number of days that homes have been on the market prior to going under contract has been fairly steady year-over-year. In July 2025, the median time for a listed property to go pending was 40 days, compared to 44 days in July 2024. In recent months the median number of days from listed to pending appears to be steady. That trend is predicted to have carried through to this August.
Bates County offers residents a warm, close-knit community with plentiful outdoor recreation, solid schools, thriving local businesses, and a balanced quality of life that makes living here fulfilling and welcoming.
Bates County blends open-sky farm country with quick I-49 access, making daily life feel unhurried yet connected. In Butler, the courthouse square anchors locally owned shops, cafes, and community events, while Adrian and Rich Hill add small-town ball fields, Friday-night lights, and a proud coal-mining heritage.
History is close at hand: the Battle of Island Mound State Historic Site commemorates the first Civil War action involving African American troops. Families appreciate solid school options—including Butler R-V, Adrian R-III, Rich Hill R-IV, Hume R-VIII, Miami R-I, and Drexel R-IV—and youth programs that keep calendars full. Weekends range from browsing the exhibits at the Bates County Museum to seasonal festivals on the square and hands-on demos at Poplar Heights Living History Farm.
Outdoor enthusiasts migrate to the Four Rivers Conservation Area for waterfowl, expansive wetlands, and quiet trails, or head to local lakes for fishing at sunrise. Healthcare needs are covered by Bates County Memorial Hospital in Butler and clinics throughout the county, and everyday errands are easy with hometown grocers, hardware stores, and farm supply.
Commuters find Kansas City within reach for big-league arts and jobs, then return to quieter streets, larger lots, and night skies bright with stars. Housing spans century-old farmhouses, tidy ranches, and new builds along the I-49 corridor, offering a lot of home for the money.
