Kearney, MO Housing Market 2026: Median Home Price, Last 12 Months

If you invest in or around Kearney, the number that matters is what homes actually close for, not what sellers are asking. Here is what Kearney sale prices look like right now, built from the closings Resideline tracked over the last 12 months, as of October 2026.

The snapshot

• •Closings tracked, last 12 months: 205
• •Median sold price, last 12 months: $375,000
• •Median sold $/sqft, last 12 months: $183
• •Middle half of sales closed between: $320,000 and $448,000

One thing to know about Missouri data: Missouri is a non-disclosure state, which means sale prices are not public record. The sold figures above come from closings Resideline tracked directly.

What the numbers say

Resideline tracked 205 closed sales in Kearney over the last 12 months, with a median closing price of $375,000. 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. The middle half of those sales closed between $320,000 and $448,000. That spread matters more than the headline median: where a specific property sits inside it decides whether the citywide number helps you or misleads you. These are the closings Resideline tracks and may differ from complete county or municipal records. 100% of the Kearney closings we track here are single-family houses, so these figures primarily reflect that segment, and the citywide $/sqft figure primarily reflects that segment as well. Across the 205 closings with usable living area, the middle half sold between $159 and $209 per square foot.

Where Kearney sale prices land

Medians hide the shape of a market. The distribution above covers the closed sales Resideline tracked in Kearney over the last 12 months that carry a usable sale date, trimmed to the 5th through 95th percentile, with the middle half of sales closing between $320,000 and $448,000. Among the 45 Missouri markets with a published band, Kearney's middle-half spread ($320,000 to $448,000) ranks 4th from the narrowest. Where your target property sits inside that spread matters more than the citywide median. Measured as the ratio of the upper to the lower quartile, its middle-half spread ranks in the 11th percentile of the 2,291 US markets in Resideline's national Market Watch set, on data as of November 3, 2026.

How long a sale takes here

• •Listed to under contract: a median of 10 days, across 168 Kearney closings Resideline tracked in the last 12 months
• •Contract to closing: a median of 29 days, across 155 Kearney closings Resideline tracked in the last 12 months

Both are measured from the closings themselves, not from listing inventory. Each sale is timed using its own listing and contract dates. That is why these counts are smaller than the 205 closings above: a sale is counted here only when we hold both of its dates.

The Kearney angle

Kearney produced 205 tracked closings over the last 12 months, a median closed sale price of $375,000, and a middle half of sales running from $320,000 to $448,000. The spread is tighter than most markets we track, which makes the median a genuinely useful anchor for an ordinary local sale. An estimate under the midpoint deserves the same comp support as one over it, because the low side is where this market shows its variety.

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, rehab cost estimator, BRRRR 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, so it cannot be revised once the sale price is known. Grading it is a different matter in Missouri: because sale prices are not public record here, a confirmed closing price reaches us for only a small share of Missouri homes, and most Missouri estimates stay frozen and ungraded. The accuracy scoreboard is therefore a national record rather than a Missouri one. See the live accuracy dashboard for the receipts, or read how the Area Market Snapshot works.

Run any Kearney address through Resideline and you will see the local market and the property's value together, in one report.
