The rule of thumb agents use: under three months of homes for sale favors sellers, over five months favors buyers, and in between is a fair fight. Ottawa, KS sits at 1.4.
There are more buyers than homes for sale. Sellers have the edge. The typical home took 33 days to go under contract, and 11% of sales closed above the asking price.
