Overland Park Homes $200,000 to $500,000

This is closer to a balanced market. Selling at the rate of nearly 100 per month (HEY - PRINT THAT KANSAS CITY STAR!) give a roughly 4.5 months supply of homes, a slight seller advantage.
Summary - if you have an upper bracket home, realize the market is soft in your price range and adjust your plans accordingly. The lower priced homes are selling well, so as a buyer, you will want to adjust your plans to fit the reality of the market place. It will be the rare seller in the under $200,000 price range who is going to be willing to make many concessions on a house in good condition, since the market is strong. If, however, you are interested in buying UP in the down market, now is the time to assess your personal situation. Interest rates are low, upper bracket inventory is high, some sellers are very motivated.
