kansas: Rising Values removes fear for Johnson County KS home buyers - 09/18/12 03:44 AM
It's been a long haul back to here but there is finally some traction when it comes to home prices in Johnson County Kansas. Property values in Johnson County peaked in August of 2006 and started to fall towards the end of that year. 
For the past several years many buyers were hesitant to venture back into the market for fear of losing more value. Why should I buy now if the market will go down another 5% this year proclaimed most buyers. Well that fear has finally been removed, we have seen 6 straight months of increased home sales and … (0 comments)

kansas: Clock is ticking for tax relief on Short Sales - 09/04/12 01:49 AM
Are you behind on mortgage payments or struggling to keep up? Is your house worth lees than what you owe the bank? Then you may be considering a short sale. That means selling your house and asking the bank to accept the lesser proceeds as final payment. What a lot of people don't know is that the difference between what your home sells for and what you owe the bank is generally taxable. But in 2007 congress passed a law called The Mortgage Debt relief act of 2007 it allows in most circumstances for you not to pay taxes on foregiven debt.

kansas: Hampton Place Overland Park Mid Year homes sales report 2012 - 07/02/12 02:34 AM
The Hampton Place subdivision in South Overland Park, Kansas just finished an amazing six months of home sales. The year started slowly but not for lack of interest. At the start of the year there were less than 10 homes available. However, as more homes became available the pace of sales really picked up fast. We are still experiencing low inventory in Hampton Place. As you will see in the market report below the under contract or pending sales is almost equal to the number of active listing, leaving Hampton Place with just over 60 days of inventory.

Right now the average interest rate is right around 4%. If you have a $200,000 mortgage the pirncipal and … (0 comments)

kansas: Thinking of Building a New Home? Here are the trends in Johnson County Kansas for 2012 - 03/19/12 01:26 AM
Thinking of Building a New Home?
Here are the trends in Johnson County for 2012

New homes are more compact.  While the occasional Mcmansion is still being built, the majority of new homes in Johnson County are between 2,500 and 3,500 square feet.  Replacing hearth rooms and separate living rooms is a single great room that opens to the kitchen.  The trend towards even greater informality at home is making the living room, often used only when company comes, obsolete. Maximizing space.  Want to work in the closet?  There are now new homes that have built in desks located in … (4 comments)

The Border War: Who wins when it comes to real estate in Kansas and Missouri?
 VS    
The oldest rivalry west of the Mississippi may come to an end this Saturday when the Jayhawks and Tigers meet for the last time in Allen Fieldhouse.  While we apply the term “war” loosely today to business poaching and sports, the deep divide between the two states seems as literal as State Line road.  What Kansan doesn’t hesitate, if only for a moment, to purchase a home with a 64131 zip code?  What Missourian isn’t considered a traitor for moving into Leawood, steps … (2 comments)

So you keep hearing on the news that it is a buyers' market but what does that really mean? If you are looking to purchase a home in Johnson County Kansas it could mean buying a home at a substantial discount. In Johnson County Kansas the home market peaked right around August 2006.

kansas: What’s Really Going On with Housing in Johnson County Kansas? - 02/15/12 05:51 AM
Nothing is more local than real estate, right down to the street on which we live.  When warnings about the potential of a bursting housing bubble first surfaced in 2006, many disregarded the claims as the alarmist ramblings of Ivy League academia, looking at the issue from 10,000 feet based on national trends unrelated to our own backyard.  
Fast forward to 2012 and most of us either know someone or know someone who knows someone who has faced foreclosure or short sale of their home.  It seems as though the anecdotes of distress have replaced what’s really occurring in the … (0 comments)
