Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Apr 2026 - Jun 2026).
Inventory in Independence is relatively lean in this rolling three-month view, with about 1.8 months of supply and 818 active listings, slightly below last year. Contract activity has held close to last year’s pace, as homes sold are down modestly year over year while pending sales are nearly flat.
Prices have edged upward compared with a year ago, with the typical home value and median list price both increasing a few percent. Sellers are seeing strong demand, as roughly 42% of recent sales closed above list price and the average sale-to-list ratio is just over 100%.
Homes are moving through the market more quickly than a year ago, with the median days on market now at 17 in this rolling period. With many properties going under contract in just a couple of weeks, both buyers and sellers can benefit from an Agent Pronto–recommended real estate professional to navigate timing and strategy effectively.
Independence offers residents a rich blend of historic charm, family-friendly neighborhoods, abundant parks and outdoor recreation, and a welcoming, community-focused atmosphere that supports a high quality of life.
Independence delivers big city access with a practical, everyday feel, thanks to its location just east of downtown Kansas City and direct connections along I-70 and I-435. Commuters appreciate the quick drive to major employers, while residents rely on the Independence Express transit system for local routes and park-and-ride service.
Daily life centers on a mix of national retailers and local businesses. The Independence Center mall anchors shopping and dining, while historic Independence Square adds walkable cafes, boutiques, and community events. Families spend weekends at Waterfall Park and the nearby Bass Pro complex, or cool off at the Adventure Oasis Water Park.
History buffs find plenty to explore at the Harry S. Truman Library & Museum and the National Frontier Trails Museum, while students and researchers use the Mid-Continent Public Library – North Independence Branch. Residents can stay current on services, utilities, and neighborhood programs through the City of Independence website.
Housing options range from established neighborhoods near the square to newer subdivisions with easy highway access, appealing to first-time buyers, move-up families, and downsizers alike. A knowledgeable local agent can help you navigate school boundaries, tax districts, and traffic patterns so your move is efficient and less stressful. Agent Pronto connects both buyers and sellers with experienced Independence agents who understand these details and help streamline every step.

“Marissa went above and beyond for us in our home search. She listened to what we were looking for and found the perfect fit. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for their next home.”
“We had been using another realtor that was a coworker of Chris's. We had been using her for the last 8 years through multiple sales and purchases and truly only trusted her so when she suggested us using her coworker Chris we were at first of course naturally a little hesitant but honestly, Chris surpassed our standards and expectations which I didn't think would be possible. He was just wonderful from start to finish in every aspect. So processional, kind, hard-working and made the entire process so effortlessly easy. Would recommend him again in a heart beat to anyone in the market for a quick and painless process, whether they are selling or buying.”
“Did great job of negotiating with a very picky customer”
“We truly cannot say enough good things about our experience with Kathy. From the very beginning, she was incredibly responsive, always available, and genuinely invested in helping us find the right home. If we had a question, she answered it — and usually answered the questions we didn’t even know we should be asking. She was always willing to show us a house, even when we asked at the last minute, and never once made us feel like we were being a bother. Her knowledge and attention to detail really stood out, especially when it came to walking us through the fine print and making sure we understood exactly what we were getting into. She was honest, thorough, patient, and always had our best interests in mind. We would recommend Kathy to literally anyone. She genuinely cares, goes above and beyond, and makes you feel like more than just another client.”
