The median value of owner-occupied homes in the city of Overland Park is $452,800, according to the Census Bureau’s 2024 American Community Survey, against $238,700 for Kansas as a whole.

How much homes cost in Overland Park
The Census Bureau’s American Community Survey (ACS) asks owners how much they think their home would sell for. The median of those answers is a useful benchmark, but it is not a sale price: it covers every owner-occupied home, including homes bought long ago. Our page on Kansas home prices explains the method in detail.
| Area | Median value, 2024 (ACS) | Margin of error (90%) |
|---|---|---|
| City of Overland Park | $452,800 | ±$14,550 |
| Johnson County | $432,600 | ±$7,508 |
| Kansas City, MO-KS metro area | $314,300 | ±$4,209 |
| Kansas | $238,700 | ±$2,937 |
| United States | $360,600 | ±$618 |
Source: U.S. Census Bureau, ACS 1-Year Estimates 2024, table B25077. The 2025 estimates are scheduled for October 29, 2026.
The city median is $20,200 above the county median, $138,500 above the metro median and $92,200 above the national median. Because the city’s margin of error is wide (±$14,550), treat the gap with Johnson County as small.
Are Overland Park prices rising?
The Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) tracks repeat sales of the same single-family homes. It publishes a purchase-only, seasonally adjusted index for the Kansas City, MO-KS metro area, not for Overland Park alone. The release of August 25, 2026 shows:
| Area | 1-year change (Q2 2025 to Q2 2026) | 5-year change (Q2 2021 to Q2 2026) |
|---|---|---|
| Kansas City, MO-KS metro area | +2.9% | +35.4% |
| Kansas | +3.3% | +37.1% |
| United States | +2.1% | +33.4% |

Prices in the Kansas City area rose modestly over the past year, after a gain of about a third over five years.
Closing costs at the median price
On top of the price, buyers and sellers pay closing costs: lender fees, the appraisal, the survey, escrow and recording fees, and title insurance. Several depend on the loan and on the providers you choose, so there is no single official figure. See our guide to closing costs in Kansas, the page on transfer tax in Kansas and the national guide to closing costs explained.
Property tax in Overland Park
Property tax depends on the taxing units that cover your address, so it is not the same for every home in the city. We do not recalculate it on this page. Our Kansas property tax guide covers how homes are valued, the rates and how to appeal. To see how tax can be paid through your monthly mortgage payment, read our guide to escrow accounts.
Help for buyers in Overland Park
Because Overland Park is in Johnson County, the Kansas Housing Resources Corporation’s First Time Homebuyer loan (15% or 20% of the price at 0%, forgiven after 10 years) is not available here. KHRC’s fact sheet says that major metro areas receive their own federal funds.
Johnson County Housing Services lists a Housing Authority and home rehabilitation programs for owners, but no down payment program. Its HOME Rehabilitation loan caps the value of a repaired home at 95% of the HUD area median purchase price, which the county page gives as $328,000. The Overland Park pages we read list no buyer assistance either; City Hall’s number is 913-895-6000. Details are in our guide to Kansas first-time buyer programs.
