What These Numbers Mean for Newton Buyers and Sellers
The Housing Market Trends module above shows Newton tracking as a Seller's Market market, and the competitive indicators help locate where negotiating leverage actually sits. With median days on market at 28 and only 1.7 months of supply, the measured balance leans toward sellers, yet the detail beneath that headline is more nuanced. Just 20.5% of homes sold above list price, while 30.8% of active listings recorded a price reduction. That combination tells buyers that aggressive overbidding is rarely required, and that patience around initially overpriced listings often pays.
The sale-to-list ratio of 98.96% (a +0.90% change year over year) indicates most closings land very close to asking, so an offer within a few points of list is competitive in zip 67114. With 39.8% of homes leaving the market inside two weeks, well-priced inventory still moves quickly, but the sizable share of price drops means roughly a third of sellers started too high. Median price moved +2.6% year over year to $179,881, with $103.3 per square foot as a useful benchmark.
For a seller, the data argues for disciplined pricing at or just under comparable sales rather than testing the ceiling, since overpricing leads to the reductions visible across the market. For a buyer, the leverage lies in targeting listings that have aged past the 28 median or already cut price. With 250 licensed agents working this market, selecting one who reads these signals correctly is the difference between a clean close and weeks of carrying costs.

What to Look for in a Newton Realtor
Choosing an agent on name recognition alone overlooks what actually determines outcomes: transaction depth, negotiation results, and consistency across a full market cycle. EffectiveAgents analyzed 308 transactions in the Newton area to rank performance on verified data rather than advertising spend. Among 250 licensed agents locally, Kali Graber at Berkshire Hathaway Home Services PenFed Realty ranks at the top, with 275 career transactions and 32 client reviews supporting that record. That volume matters in a market where the sale-to-list ratio sits at 98.96% and 30.8% of listings eventually cut price: an agent who prices correctly the first time within zip 67114 helps sellers avoid the reductions that erode final proceeds. For buyers, an experienced negotiator identifies which of the 49 active listings carry real flexibility. Review patterns are worth reading closely, since a steady cadence of recent, detailed feedback signals reliability more dependably than a single high rating. Compare the 24 ranked agents before committing.
How We Rank Newton Real Estate Agents
Our rankings are built from verified MLS transaction data, not advertising spend. For every agent we analyze more than fifteen performance signals, including sales volume in your city and zip code, recent and all-time transactions, days on market, negotiation results (how far above or below list price an agent's clients actually close), price-point fit, and verified reviews. The agents shown first are those whose verified results put them at the top of the Newton market today.
Agents cannot pay for placement in these rankings. The underlying data refreshes as new closed transactions are reported, so rankings shift with real market performance. Learn how we rank agents.

Newton Real Estate Agent FAQs
Who is the best real estate agent in Newton, KS?
The top-ranked agent in Newton, KS is Kali Graber at Berkshire Hathaway Home Services PenFed Realty, with 275 career transactions and 32 client reviews. EffectiveAgents identifies leading agents by analyzing verified transaction history, negotiation outcomes, and review consistency across 308 transactions rather than relying on advertising. Of 250 licensed agents in the area, 24 meet the ranking criteria. The right fit depends on your property type and goals, so comparing several ranked agents against your specific needs is the recommended approach.
How were these Newton real estate agents ranked?
Rankings are built from verified MLS transaction data. We analyze more than fifteen performance signals for every agent, including sales volume in your city and zip code, recent and all-time transactions, days on market, negotiation results, price-point fit, and verified reviews. Agents cannot pay for placement.
How many real estate agents are in Newton?
Our data covers 250 real estate agents serving the Newton area. The count represents agents with transaction activity recorded in our Newton market data, not simply everyone holding a license.
What does the median sale price in Newton mean for sellers?
Newton's median sale price is $179,881 as of August 2026. Half of recent sales closed above that figure and half below. It is a useful baseline for understanding the market, but an experienced local agent will price your home against comparable recent sales in your neighborhood, not the citywide median.
How long does it take to sell a house in Newton?
Homes in Newton currently take a median of 28 to sell, reflecting a +12 days change in market time year over year. With 39.8% of homes leaving the market within two weeks, well-priced and well-presented listings still move quickly, while the 30.8% of listings that cut price tend to sit longer. Timeline depends heavily on pricing accuracy, condition, and how your home compares at $103.3 per square foot. At 1.7 months of supply, inventory is limited, which generally supports faster sales for realistically priced homes.
Does it cost anything to use EffectiveAgents?
No. EffectiveAgents is free for home buyers and sellers, with no obligation to work with any agent we match you with.
Do agents pay to be ranked or featured?
No. Agents cannot pay for placement anywhere in these rankings. Positions are earned from verified transaction performance only.
What commission do Newton realtors charge?
Commissions are negotiable and vary by agent, service level, and transaction. There is no set rate, and recent industry changes have made commission structures more flexible than ever. Discuss the structure directly with your agent before signing a listing or buyer agreement.
Should I use a local Newton agent or a national brand?
The individual agent matters more than the brand on the sign. Offices within the same national franchise vary widely in performance, and the agent you hire, not the logo, prices your home, negotiates your contract, and manages your closing. A strong local agent brings firsthand knowledge of Newton neighborhoods, pricing patterns, and buyer activity. Compare agents on verified local results such as recent sales, days on market, and negotiation outcomes rather than name recognition.
What questions should I ask a Newton realtor before hiring them?
Ask how many homes they have closed in Newton in the past year, what their average sale-to-list ratio is, and how much of their business is in your neighborhood and price range. Ask how they will market your home or find you listings, and how often they will communicate. Strong agents answer with specifics. Verified transaction data is the fastest way to confirm what you hear.
