Home Prices in Topeka Are Up Over 50%—Here’s What That Means for Buyers

According to the National Association of REALTORS®, home prices in Kansas have increased by 51.1% since the first quarter of 2020. That’s a big jump—but at first glance, I thought the number might not reflect what’s really happening in Topeka’s local real estate market, since bigger cities like Kansas City and Wichita can skew the data.

But here’s what the numbers show in Shawnee County:
In Q1 2020, the average home sales price was $143,850. By the end of 2024, it had climbed to $216,719—a 50.7% increase in just a few years!

What This Means for Topeka Buyers

The key takeaway? If you bought a home in 2020, you likely saw strong appreciation and equity growth. But the next best time to buy real estate in Topeka is right now.

Topeka’s real estate market continues to offer long-term value, and homeownership remains one of the best ways to build wealth. Whether you're a first-time buyer or looking to invest, it's important to have the right guidance.
