Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Caldwell County real estate market. *
September 2026
Monthly data for the latest available year.
Monthly supply and activity totals for the latest available year.
Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Sep 2026).
Caldwell County’s home prices have moved down sharply compared with last year, with the typical home value in September 2026 more than 40 percent lower year over year. Listing prices show a similar pattern, falling by roughly one‑third over the same period. At the same time, homes sold have surged compared with a year ago, even as active listings have been cut nearly in half.
Looking more closely at September, the typical home value stood at about $229,000 while the median list price was closer to $165,000. Homes are taking longer to sell, with the median days on market rising to 47 days, and no properties closed above list price as the average sale-to-list ratio hovered just under 98 percent.
Conditions in Caldwell County differ from the broader Missouri market, which has seen home values edge higher over the past year and slightly more inventory at the state level. Local supply has tightened to 2.5 months, down markedly from much higher levels earlier in the year, even though new listings have dropped by more than half year over year. With only 23 active listings in September compared with over 40 late last year, buyers may see fewer choices even as prices trend lower. Whether you are a buyer trying to navigate these changing dynamics or a seller working to price correctly, Agent Pronto can connect you with a local agent who understands this market.
Caldwell County offers residents a close-knit, rural lifestyle enriched by rich local history, abundant outdoor recreation, and a welcoming community that supports families and small businesses.
Caldwell County feels distinctly rural and close knit compared with larger, busier neighbors like Clay County and Jackson County. Life moves at a steadier pace, with stretches of farmland punctuated by small towns such as Kingston, Hamilton, and Polo, each with its own sense of identity and traditions.
Hamilton is known as the home of the Missouri Star Quilt Company, which draws visitors from across the country and supports a growing downtown of cafes and shops. Families appreciate local schools like Hamilton R-II School District and Polo R-VII School District, where community events and Friday night games still matter. Outdoor time often means fishing or boating at Polo Lake or a quiet afternoon at Hamilton City Park.
Residents value small town connections, whether at the Caldwell County Library in Kingston, a local festival, or a long standing diner where people know each other by name. At the same time, major employment and shopping in Kansas City and St. Joseph are within driving distance, which appeals to commuters who want more space and a rural feel.
Whether you are planning a move into or out of the county, timing and preparation are important in a market with limited inventory. Agent Pronto can connect buyers and sellers with the right local real estate professional to make the most of that opportunity.

“Shy did an outstanding job helping me look for properties at the Lake of the Ozarks! She truly goes above and beyond for her clients and pays attention to even the smallest details. It’s not often you find someone so dedicated and willing to go the extra mile. I highly recommend Shy to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, hardworking, and trustworthy real estate professional!”
“We've worked with Amber more than once, and each time she brought the same level of care and expertise to the process. She has a great grasp of the market, anticipates challenges before they come up, and takes the time to really understand what you're looking for. We'd recommend her to anyone in the market for a home.”
“Christian, Brycen, and Payton have helped us buy/sell two personal properties and sell one investment property. Their teamwork allows them to be easily reachable and able to assist with things very quickly. They have been extremely helpful on all of our transactions with them and we look forward to working with them in the future.”
“Keeli was amazing to work with! She was so helpful in showing me houses in both Kansas & Missouri, and then once I found the home I liked best, she was fantastic at navigating the offer process and also moving to closing. Her knowledge of the market and resources for everything from insurance to utilities was so valuable. Highly recommended!”
“Michelle is absolutely amazing to work with. If was very apparent immediately that she was our advocate, as the buyers, and she worked for our benefit. She was not hesitant to prod the finance company when things got bogged down on their end and she always made us feel as though we were her only clients at the time. I have absolutely nothing remotely negative about Michelle. She even pointed us in the direction of an amazing pie shop when we left the closing. Truly a gem to work with!”
“Ben helped us not only in finding our forever home but to have a successful closing as well. He always responded to all my questions and even after closing he’s still doing it. He’s a genuine person who wants the best for his clients.”
“Andrew was great. He had a deep knowledge of the local market and helped us find the perfect property. He has excellent communication skills and was always responsiveness to our needs. He has strong negotiation skills and was able negotiate the price we needed, all while maintaining a professional and positive attitude throughout the process. We are very pleased.”
“Being a former realtor myself, I was very impressed with the Steven's professionalism. He worked tirelessly to solve every problem and ensure that everything went as smoothly as possible. He kept me fully informed throughout the process and addressed all my concerns. I highly recommend this agent!”
“Kris Wheeler did an excellent job with helping us sell our property. His communication skills are excellent. He kept us informed of potential buyers and provided great feedback for us. We are so thankful our property sold. We could not have done that without Kris's help.”
“Christina was quick to respond, and problem solve through any and all situations which were complex. Christina tackled our remote location house sale with tact and confidence. She navigated detailed processes of probate including multiple family involvement with the upmost sensitivity. Her ability to manage house selling timelines along with building maintenance needs were superior. I would recommend her to anyone selling their property/home.”
“When we bought our house DJ was very helpful with the house search and all the showings of the homes we looked at and getting us a good deal on the home we bought. When we were ready to sell our house he helped us determine an asking price, coordinated all of the showings and helped us get the best offer and a super fast closing with very little work needed on our part. He was very responsive to my calls, texts and emails as well. I would highly recommend DJ when buying and\or selling a home.”
“As buyers entering a red hot seller's market, we were a bit intimidated to say the least. Houses were flying on and off the market, each one with multiple, competitive offers. From start to finish, Angie was incredibly responsive to us, meeting us anytime, anywhere to look at multiple houses. Whether by phone, email, or in person, Angie was there, every time. Her advice in putting together a competitive offer was invaluable. Our FIRST offer was accepted! The closing process was seamless and took place in Angie's wonderful office spaces. Following closing, Angie congratulated us, and wished us well. Angie's performance far exceeded our expectations in every facet of the process. Can you guess who will find us our next home?”
“Jeff Cohen deserves more than 5 stars! My three brothers and I were all involved in the selling of our mother’s home and I was extremely impressed with Jeff’s communication skills. He would contact all four of us INDIVIDUALLY several times a week to update us and answer any questions we may have had in the process! Jeff responded to all of our texts, calls, and emails right away. Jeff did extensive research on the market in our area. We trusted his judgement on the listing price and timing which made the selling process absolutely seamless. His knowledge of the industry is unparalleled. Jeff is honest, hardworking, and professional. But most of all, he is passionate about his job. We highly recommend Jeff Cohen.”
“Kate helped my mom, husband and me to purchase a “fixer-upper” for my mom, who currently lives out of the country. She is amazingly responsive - when we could call to look at a property it was a near immediate showing! She handled our paperwork in-country and out-of-country in a manner that I’m certain was challenging for her, but very easy for us buyers. She listened to our wishes and went to bat for us. I will be encouraging my other family to use her in the future as well.”
“My wife and I work opposite hours and we were not always on the same page as far as what kind of home we wanted. When we got discouraged, Alex would give us a break, let us re-focus, and then start again. After we found our home, he helped us every step through the loan process( the scariest part) and closing. Alex is very good at his job and I recommend him to everyone.”
