johnson county ks homes for sale: How can that $200,000 house really be $131,000 cheaper?
- 10/22/10 09:46 AM
I will need to file this post under missed opportunities or I am not smart enough to get it. The real estate market in Kansas City peaked in 2006, August 2006 to be exact. Do you want to know what the average mortgage interest rate was in 2006? It was 6.41%, now let me equate this to how you can buy the same $200,000 house that you would have bought in 2006 for $131,000 less today.
$200,000 @ 6.41% = $1068 per month for principal and interest $200,000 @ 4.22% = $703 per month principal and interest You save $365 per … (2 comments)

johnson county ks homes for sale: $8,000 here today, gone April 30th for Johnson County KS first time home buyers
- 01/06/10 05:42 AM
Reprieve would be a good word to describe the extension of the $8,000 first time home buyer tax credit. There were a lot people who wanted to take advantage of the tax credit but the timing was just not right. So you have a reprieve until April 30th 2010, you have until that date to find a home and have a written binding contract to purchase. Under the extended tax break you will have until June 30th to complete the transaction.
So that officially gives you 113 days to take advantage of the greatest first time home buyer incentive ever offered. … (0 comments)

johnson county ks homes for sale: Yes you can Qualify to buy a home in Johnson County Kansas
- 04/15/09 07:35 AM
I am writing this post because I keep talking with buyers who think they cannot buy a home because everything they see or reads tells them that only super qualified buyer with 20% down can buy a house right now. That is false, false, and false.
Yes the standards to purchase a home have gone up but considering 2 years ago there were no standards the only place they could go was up. Right now you can qualify for an FHA loan with a credit score of around 600, sometimes even less depending on your job and assets. FHA loans … (0 comments)

I was watching the evening news and they were talking about banks. They went on to talk about how they have all received bailout funds but haven't lent or are not lending any of that money out to the general public.
This is when I jump off the couch and throw a shoe at my TV. Why do I throw my shoe? Because what they are saying is not true, banks are lending money. Not only are they lending money but they lending it at some of the lowest rates in history.
What they are really saying is that they are … (0 comments)
