Hawthorne-Picture Hills is seeing brisk change in this rolling three-month window, with the typical home value climbing sharply month over month and now sitting around the mid-$330,000s. Homes sold surged compared with the prior three-month period, while active listings and pending sales also moved higher, signaling more movement on both sides of the table. At the same time, months of supply dropped steeply to just 0.3, underscoring how quickly available homes are being absorbed. Compared with a year ago, prices are moderately higher and inventory is only slightly above prior levels, suggesting demand has stayed strong even as options have inched up.
Recent sales activity highlights how tight conditions have become. Nearly 88 percent of homes are going off the market within two weeks, and the median time to secure a buyer is only 26 days. Sellers are still getting a slight edge on pricing, with the average sale-to-list ratio a bit above 101 percent.
Viewed against the broader Kansas City market, Hawthorne-Picture Hills looks especially tilted toward sellers. The neighborhood’s months of supply is far lower than the city’s roughly 2.4 months, while its typical home value runs ahead of the citywide median sale price. Year over year, Kansas City has seen home values rise close to 9 percent, and Hawthorne-Picture Hills is keeping pace with solid gains of its own.
