Topeka Deal Watch, Nov 6, 2026: Two New Multifamily Packages Plus Housing Tax Date
Two new Keller Williams One Legacy multifamily packages hit the Topeka market overnight, both priced right around $50,000 a door.
515 SW Buchanan St, Topeka 66606, $900,000. This is an 18-unit building with about 12,000 square feet, built in 1970, and the largest new multifamily ask this morning. Rent roll is available on request. https://www.coldwellbanker.com/ks/topeka/515-sw-buchanan-st/lid-P00800000HJzVC0Ayy8YCmRkXCUCk8PO1cILyGZg
1337 SW Clay St, Topeka 66604, $500,000. This is a 10-unit building near downtown with about 8,538 square feet, built in 1967. Shawnee County's 2026 appraised value is $398,270, so the ask sits well above county value and needs a hard look at rents and condition. https://www.coldwellbanker.com/ks/topeka/1337-sw-clay-st/lid-P00800000HJzVBrKVMjyQ5qVMOfrKDv1FMXiqyZx
