Johnson County has released its Market Study Analysis for the Assessment Year 2026, examining the real estate market in the county – including both the residential and commercial markets.

The analysis is completed by the county’s Appraiser’s Office, using data from its annual valuation process. During the process, the office reviewed the sale of more than 16,000 residential properties, completing a sales comparison analysis to developed market values.

The study projects nearly 90% of residential properties to increase in value in 2026. Residential properties are expected to see average value increases of 5-7%.

The overall value of commercial properties is projected to increase by approximately 5%, reflecting continued positive market trends. The commercial market includes the following sectors:

• Industrial: Johnson County’s location along the I-35 corridor enforces its role as a key regional hub. Overall vacancy has remained stable with a slight decrease.
• Multifamily: Rent growth remained steady despite rising vacancy, with occupancy in the low 90% range. Growth is expected to remain stable with modest upside.
• Office: Rising availability in the office market has slowed for the first time in several years, with office attendance data showing a gradual increase in workers returning to the office.
• Retail: Retail development is being driven by quick-service restaurants, banks and discount retailers responding to limited inventory and shifting consumer behavior.
• Hotel/Motel: Local occupancy levels remain stable. Average Daily Rate and Revenue per Available Room have posted the strongest growth within the metro.
