What the numbers say

Resideline tracked 888 closed sales in Independence over the last six months, with a median closing price of $225,000. That median is the midpoint of what buyers actually paid, not what sellers hoped to get, which is why it moves differently from the asking prices you see on listing sites. These are the closings we track, not a complete county record, so treat the count as a large sample of the market rather than every sale that happened.

Median home price in Independence, MO (August 2026)

The median home price in Independence is $225,000, measured across the 888 closed sales Resideline tracked over the last six months.

The Independence angle

Independence produced 888 tracked closings over six months at a median of $225,000, one of the lower medians in the Kansas City metro. The city's stock is largely postwar and older, with a substantial share of modest detached homes on small lots, which is the main reason the midpoint sits where it does. For investors, that price level combined with a transaction count averaging about 148 a month gives a usable base of comparables at the entry end of the metro. Condition and deferred maintenance drive much of the variation around the median here, so a value pulled without a condition adjustment will often be optimistic.

From market read to offer price

A market read is the backdrop. The decision still comes down to one property and one number: what it is actually worth and what you should pay. Every Resideline report opens with this same market snapshot for the subject's exact ZIP code, then gives you the property's value, the sold comps behind it, and a market rent estimate. Pricing a specific deal? The free ARV calculator and rental property calculator run the numbers in about a minute.

And we show our work. Every estimate is frozen while the home is for sale and graded against the real closing price after it sells. The public scoreboard currently shows 3.21% median error across 6,276+ graded closings, across 50 states.
