COMMERCIAL MARKET:

A study of the commercial market does not show a negative or positive trend over all due to different structures being affected differently. 

VACANT LAND MARKET:

A study of the real estate market for vacant lots indicated that the market is stable with no general upward or downward trend.

Values on specific properties may not follow the general trend because of changes in the property, correction of descriptive information or adjustment of values based on sales of similar properties.

In accordance with the provision in K.S.A. 79-1476, the Kansas Division of Property Valuation is required to annually furnish each county with the results of its study relating to changes, if any, of the use value of agricultural land. Changes can and do occur as a result of several factors including change in cropping practices, commodity prices and production costs.
