olathe: The Olathe School District Needs Your Vote
- 10/08/07 02:02 AM
There is just no way around it. Many people live in Olathe and make it their home because of the quality of schools the Olathe School District offers. Myself included. When my wife, family and I knew we were coming back to the Kansas City area we interviewed three school districts. And while there was certainly nothing wrong with either of the other two, Olathe stood out head and shoulders for our needs. We have four children, two with special needs and one with an Einstein brain. We needed both ends of the spectrum and everything in between from our school system. We … (0 comments)

We've lived in Olathe for quite a while now. However, we had never taken the opportunity to do this. Our mistake. Last evening's performance was by a regional Beatles tribute band by the name of Liverpool. While I had … (1 comments)

olathe: Homes For Sale in Olathe, Kansas: Real Estate That Is Moving!
- 04/03/07 04:01 PM
No. That headline is not hype or a sales gimmick. But it could read Overland Park, Kansas City, Leawood, or Rockville, Maryland. The facts are the facts. If you price your home correctly, it will sell. There is absolutely nothing wrong with the current real estate market in and around Olathe, Kansas. It's true that we are not experiencing 8%-10% growth right now. It is true that we have more sellers than buyers right now. And it is true that the mortgage money has gotten a little more difficult to get right now. But, hey, do you remember the late '70's and mid '80's? … (0 comments)

olathe: Olathe, Kansas Is Set For Housing Growth
- 03/22/07 07:31 AM
One of the many factors determining the price of housing is demand. As population surges and housing lags behind the demand will drive prices upwards. If population remains stagnant or grows at a rate less than the housing production grows then you have stable or falling prices as builders will begin to discount to move their inventory. It is my position that we are closer to the later situation here in Olathe, Kansas. Sure, there are other mitigating factors. But population growth is a big one. Read this from yesterday's Kansas City Star; The growth boom in Olathe is not expected to slow … (0 comments)

olathe: Olathe School District - The Reason I Call Olathe Home

I grew up in Overland Park, Kansas and attended Shawnee Mission schools. A graduate of SM West...go Vikings! After doing my time at the University of Kansas I lived in a couple of different cities (Washington, DC for 15 years and Tulsa, OK for 3). When it was time to come home I had to be choosy about my choice for a home city. When I left, Olathewas still out in the "country". I think I remember saying I'd never live so far out!
