Real Estate Market In Kansas Continue Trends That Favor Home Sellers

Checking The Pulse Of The Kansas City Real Estate Market


The latest Kansas Association of Realtors state-wide real estate stats (covering the month of February) indicate further improvement in both average sales prices and in the volume of homes sold (closed). Home sales increased another 3.4% in February compared to February 2011 market stats, following up last months big 11.6% jump.

Although the state is still in a buyer’s market overall with 7.4 months of inventory on the market, the months of inventory continues to push towards a balanced real estate market – there was 7.7 months in inventory at last months check. 5 to 7 months of inventory is generally considered a balanced real estate market. The rise in home sale prices was even more impressive, with the average sales price rising an incredible 9.7% compared to February of last year. This follows up last month’s identical 9.7% increase.

Locally here in Johnson County Kansas, the real estate market remains solid for home sellers. Over the past month we saw 695 homes sold and comparing this sales rate against the current volume of homes for sale, it calculates to 3.1 months of inventory on the market. This is an improvement over last month’s  3.8 months of inventory. All of this represents a strengthening of the seller’s real estate market that has been present in Johnson County Kansas the past year.

Volume Of Home Sales Up 11% In Kansas, Sales Prices Up 10%

Checking The Pulse Of The Kansas City Real Estate Market


The latest released KAR state-wide stats (January’s stats) show the state of Kansas had further improvements in both volume of homes sold (closed) and in average home sales prices. Home sales volume jumped 11.6% in January compared to January 2011 market stats. This is another in a long line of monthly jumps and follows up a 15.9% increase in last month’s update.

Average home sale prices rose 9.7% compared to January of last year and follows up last month’s 6.5% increase. There was an influx of new inventory during the month and January’s sales rate compared to the volume of homes for sale, resulting in 7.7 months of inventory on the market. There was 5.4 months of inventory in last month’s stats and the current volume of inventory represents a slight buyer’s market. This ends a run of 10 months of a balanced real estate market, but is likely more of a sign of the stats crossing the holiday season than a long-term trend. I expect by next month’s check the stats will have moved back into a balanced real estate market.

Locally here in Johnson County Kansas, the real estate market remains solid for home sellers. In the past 30 days there were 544 homes sold and comparing this sales rate against the current volume of homes for sale, there’s 3.8 months of inventory on the market. This is an improvement over last month’s 5.0 months of inventory and represents a seller’s market in Johnson County Kansas.

Kansas City Home Buyers Getting FHA Loans To Face Higher Monthly Mortgage Payments

Checking The Pulse Of The Kansas City Real Estate Market

So in addition to the possibility of Fannie Mae being put out of her misery (and ending conventional loans as we know it), now it’s announced that FHA loans will have 1/4 percent higher annual mortgage insurance premiums. This is guaranteed to lower the volume of FHA loans once the increase is put into effect in April. The FHA change directly affects borrowers getting an FHA loan while making less than a 5% down payment. Of course, that’s the majority of borrowers who often choose a FHA loan because it only requires a 3.5% down payment.  If you’re already approved for a FHA loan but have yet to go under contract, I suggest you get up and shake a leg.


The 1/4 percent increase comes from a jump from a 0.90% mortgage insurance premium (MIP) on these loans to 1.15% MIP. The jump is based on the loan amount. These changes are designed to keep FHA loans alive during a time when the agency is battling foreclosures on the books. The change is expected to generate more than $2 billion in funds for FHA and help the agency meet the congressional mandate to have 2% cash in reserves. While the news is certainly not good, allowing the FHA loan program to fail would have terrible consequences on our real estate market. Keep in mind that more than half of the loans being provided to home buyers today are FHA loans.

I ran some rough calculations and this change would increase the payment on a $150,000 loan about $30 or so per month.  That may not seem like a lot but it’s $360 year, so it will have an affect. If the loan amount were $300,000 the figure would double. Despite the changes, FHA is still a cost-effective loan for borrowers and will continue to be a leading loan options for first time buyers, buyers with lower incomes and buyer’s who have less than the 5% down payment required on conventional loans. Another note I found interesting was that FHA will not provide a refinance loan if the refinance does not reduce the borrowers monthly mortgage obligations by at least 5%. That seems like a solid, common-sense rule to me.

Top 10 Things To Do If You Want To Kill Your Kansas City Home Sale

Checking The Pulse Of The Kansas City Real Estate Market

Just when I think I’ve seen it all, I walk into a home this week that has three puppies in the master bath tub. The showing directions indicated dogs would be kenneled but who knew this is what that could mean? My buyer was not amused and I was – well, I was slightly amused – until I realized my time had just been wasted because my client had no further interest in the home. So this got me thinking, what are some of the craziest things I’ve seen that turned my buyers off when viewing a home. Here’s my top 10 list of things to do if you want to kill your Kansas City home sale…


1. Put 3 puppies in the jetted corner tub.
2. Sit the cat litter in the entry way.
3. Have a front door lock that falls off when opening the door.
4. Tell the appraiser about an upcoming neighborhood foreclosure.
5. Tell the buyer the mold isn’t bad enough to mitigate.
6. Have Marmaduke’s cousin roaming the home during a show.
7. Have standing water on your basement floor.
8. Stay at home for the showing and tell the buyers to take their time.
9. Have bugs in the home and a note that the seller is willing to exterminate.
10. Tell buyer’s agent they have a 15 minute window to show your home.


And I don’t dare say I’ve seen it all because no sooner would I say that than carnival music would start playing and the bearded lady would greet me at one of my showings tomorrow.
