Is the Kansas City housing market shifting — or is it simply normalizing? In this episode of The Kansas City Market Pulse, Logan Freeman sits down with Kent Welch, President and Co-Owner of Weichert Realtors – Welch & Company, for a residential market update across the Kansas City metro. Kent brings a boots-on-the-ground perspective on what’s happening with buyers, sellers, builders, pricing, inventory, affordability, existing homes, new construction, and KC submarket demand. Using the latest Heartland MLS and KCRAR May 2026 market data, we break down what the numbers really mean and how the residential market is changing heading into the second half of 2026. In this episode, we cover: • Kansas City housing market trends • Buyer demand and affordability pressure • Interest rates, pricing, taxes, and insurance • Seller expectations and pricing strategy • Existing homes vs. new construction • Inventory, days on market, and months of supply • KC metro submarkets showing strength • What to watch over the next 6–12 months The big takeaway: Kansas City’s housing market is not crashing — it’s normalizing.
