- 02/18/21 08:46 AM
In December something changed in the real estate market, it is something that had been present for a while but in December it entered the extreme territory. If you have been searching for a home, you already know what it is. It is an unprecedented lack of available homes. When our local MLS released the end of December statistics we realized that the number of available homes had decreased by 54% over the previous year. This severe lack of inventory has left buyers frustrated and on edge trying to find a suitable home. This has also led to bidding wars that … (1 comments)

johnson county kansas: Go Red at Home!
- 02/08/12 09:14 AM
One of the great things about February is that we get to focus on the color red during what can be a gloomy, middle of winter month. Whether it’s increasing awareness of women’s heart disease with the American Heart Association’s Go Red for Women or just enjoying the red hearts that come with Valentine’s Day, vibrant red is everywhere!
However, here in the land of beige, otherwise known as Johnson County, there is no red to be found, or any other color, save brown and variations thereof, once we go home. Area home magazines seem to showcase the same living … (1 comments)

johnson county kansas: Is your Johnson County Kansas home really ready for sale?
- 05/24/11 05:27 AM
Remember For Sale By Owner? Known as FSBO in the real estate business, these properties were abundant in Johnson County just a few years ago. The perception was the market was so great that homes virtually sold themselves. Owners simply needed a sign in the yard and the perfect buyer would appear. Fast forward to 2011 and the perception of the real estate market has changed dramatically, aided by national reports signaling a declining market hamstrung by too many properties and not enough buyers.
What is the Truth? Yesterday’s market was not as sunny as it seemed and today’s is not … (0 comments)

I am sure that quite a few potential home buyers in Johnson County Kansas were surprised by that title but it is true. While the number of available homes divided by the amount of homes sales indicates a buyers market in Johnson County Kansas, it is not the tell tale factor.
It is generally considered a buyers market when the supply of homes is greater than a six month supply based on the amount of homes selling on a monthly basis, less than six months is generally considered a seller market. So if the statistics show almost 8 months of supply … (0 comments)
