How we rank a house
Here's how we rank a Kansas City house.
We start with every house in Jackson County that carries a signal. Then we look for the same house on a second list, and a third. A house with unpaid tax and an open code case, or a vacant house in probate, is a different conversation than either signal alone. Those are the houses a small mail or call budget goes to first.
Counts as of November 14, 2026. Recently sold houses are left out.
What the data says
Kansas City, by the numbers
Observations computed from the flagged houses, not opinions. They move when the data does.
64% of flagged owners don't live in the house
1,787 houses have an owner whose mail goes somewhere else, and 736 of those owners are out of state. An absentee owner with a problem property is the classic seller.
2,404 houses with a visible problem
2,333 have an open code case and 71 are recorded as vacant. These are the houses a driver would spot from the street; here they are flagged before anyone drives.
46 houses sit on two or more lists at once
A house with unpaid tax and an open code case, or a vacant house in probate, converts at a different rate than either signal alone. The stacked list is where a small mail or call budget goes first.
10 houses are in probate right now
The owner has died and an estate is open. The contact is the executor or an heir, and the house is often the only asset they need to deal with.

About this page. The counts cover Jackson County, Missouri, and are read from DealSherpa's own records, last updated November 14, 2026; the market has been tracked since October 2026. A flagged house is one with at least one of the signals listed above; it is not a listing, an offer or a guarantee that the owner will sell. Recently sold houses are excluded. The sample houses show the city and ZIP only; addresses, owner names and contact details are available inside DealSherpa to subscribers, subject to its terms.
