July 2023 Residential Statistics Report

Steady Building Activity Through Summer

The pace of new-home construction in the region has remained largely stable this summer despite rising mortgage rates and construction financing costs, according to statistics compiled by the Home Builders Association of Greater Kansas City (KCHBA). In July 378 permits were issued, which is almost identical to June when 373 permits were issued.

Kansas City, Mo., leads the list of top-permitting cities with 69 single-family homes, although that number has decreased significantly the last few months. Olathe ranks second with 47 units, followed by Overland Park with 35. Lee’s Summit and Gardner both had 22 single-family permits issued in July.
