Checking The Pulse Of The Kansas City Real Estate Market

The fall version of the 2013 Kansas City Parade of Homes tour is under way and runs Saturday 9/30/13 through Sunday 10/13/13. The fall homes tour features 269 model homes and spec homes for viewing, with homes across the entire metro area including Kansas City, Overland Park, Olathe, Leawood, Lenexa, Shawnee, Lee’s Summit, Liberty and the surrounding areas. I’ve already visited some great finished products on the homes tour and if you haven’t made it out to a home tour in a while, this year’s is sure to be a good one and boosted by new home construction sales that are the strongest we’ve seen in years.

Many of the metro areas top home builders have entered homes on the tour and most of the top new home communities have multiple entries for viewing. The 269 homes on tour are the largest number in five years and most of the model homes are open daily from 11am to 6pm daily (verify with each home community before visiting). Here’s a link to view the Parade of Homes book online and you can find more details about the fall homes tour on the Home Builders Association of Greater Kansas City site. For those interested in selecting certain homes and lining out a map route for viewing homes, here’s an online home search tool where you select homes by city, subdivision or price range!
