Shawnee Market Update: Prices Up, Listings Up
The numbers are in for April, and let’s just say this: If you’ve been sitting on the fence, whether you’re thinking of buying or selling, this might be the nudge you need. Because Shawnee’s housing market isn’t just moving. It’s evolving.
As someone who tracks this stuff obsessively (so you don’t have to), I’m here to break it all down. Let’s talk trends, what they mean for real people like you, and why now might be your moment to make a move.
🏡 Big Picture: We’re Seeing Strong Movement in Both Directions
Here’s what stood out to me in the April 2025 single-family home data for Shawnee:
📈 Median Sales Price Jumped—Again
- $235,000 median sales price in April
- Up 11.9% from March 2025 (which was $209,999)
- Up 23.7% from April 2024 (then just $190,000)
That kind of appreciation isn’t just a headline, it’s equity. For sellers, it’s validation. For buyers, it’s motivation. And for all of us, it shows that confidence in Shawnee’s market is holding strong.
📊 Key April 2025 Stats at a Glance
Here’s how things looked for single-family homes in Shawnee compared to both last month and this time last year:
| Metric | April 2024 | March 2025 | April 2025 | Change from March | Change from April 2024 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Median Sales Price | $190,000 | $209,999 | $235,000 | +11.9% | +23.7% |

💡 What This Means for Sellers
If you’re thinking about selling, you’re in a strong position, especially if your home is priced right and shows well from day one. Buyers are still very active, even if they’re taking a little more time to decide.
What sellers should know:
- Median price gains are real, up nearly 24% year-over-year.
- Closed sales rose by over 20%, even with more listings entering the market.
- Inventory is up, so competition is growing, but motivated buyers are still closing deals.
- Days on market increased, meaning it’s more important than ever to launch your listing with a solid strategy and maximum visibility.
If you’ve been updating, maintaining, or even just thinking about making a move, now is the time to talk about next steps. Let’s get your home positioned to win.
🔍 What This Means for Buyers
Buyers: there’s good news here for you, too.
Yes, prices are up. But so is inventory. That means more choices, less stress, and—let’s be honest—less drama. Bidding wars are still happening, but they’re not guaranteed. And while prices are appreciating, the pace gives you a bit of breathing room.
What buyers should look forward to:
- 52% more homes on the market than last April
- 15% more inventory than just one month ago
- Slight uptick in price negotiations (list-to-sales price ratio rose to 96.7%)
- Longer time on market = opportunity to think before you offer
The key for buyers is this: You’ve got more control in the process than you did even six months ago. And working with a local expert means you won’t just get alerts, you’ll get actual advice.
📦 So, Is Now a Good Time to Buy or Sell?
In a word: yes.
But not because of some cookie-cutter “spring market” hype. It’s because Shawnee’s real estate scene right now is uniquely balanced, meaning there’s room for both buyers and sellers to succeed, if they play it smart. And have a smart agent in their corner.
Sellers can list with confidence. Buyers can shop with patience. And I’m here to help both sides navigate it with clarity, strategy, and maybe a little bit of levity to ease the stress.
