This analysis examines the trends in home values, ownership rates, and rental market dynamics from 2013 to 2024. The homeownership rate in Norble and Gregory Ridge has shown notable variations between 2013 and 2022.

Federal interest rates appear to have influenced homeownership rates in Norble and Gregory Ridge. In 2016, when the federal interest rate was relatively low at 0.4%, the neighborhood experienced its peak homeownership rate of 63%. However, as interest rates began to rise more steeply from 2017 onwards, there was a general downward trend in homeownership rates, reaching 54% in 2022 when the federal interest rate was 1.68%.

Average rent prices during this period fluctuated, starting at $879 in 2013, peaking at $978 in 2016, and then settling at $901 in 2022.

Moving into 2024, the average home price has further increased to $110,734, while the federal interest rate has risen slightly to 5.33%. These higher interest rates could potentially impact home affordability and future ownership rates in the neighborhood. Based on historical data and current trends, projections suggest that average home prices in Norble and Gregory Ridge will continue to rise over the next five years, although potentially at a slower rate due to higher interest rates. Average rent prices are also expected to increase moderately, influenced by factors such as housing demand and overall economic conditions in Kansas City. In conclusion, Norble and Gregory Ridge has experienced significant growth in average home prices over the past decade, with some fluctuations in homeownership rates. The relationship between interest rates and homeownership is evident, with lower rates generally corresponding to higher ownership percentages.

The neighborhood's housing market appears to be dynamic, reflecting broader economic trends and local market conditions.
