A Buyer’s Market In Kansas City Makes It Time To Buy, Not Ask Why

Posted on by

Checking The Pulse Of The Kansas City Real Estate Market

It’s amazing that during the seller’s market we experienced for many years, home buyers would rarely complain about the prices they were paying for homes. But now, during a buyer’s market, when Kansas City home buyers can buy a much larger home at a much cheaper price than they could have 5 or 10 years ago, they simply aren’t buying. Though moving cautiously is understandable given the shaky real estate market, there has never been a better time to buy a home.

Home buyers don’t just have to consider foreclosure homes to find a great deal either. There are MANY home sellers out there who have taken great care of their homes but who need to sell their homes immediately. They are willing to lose money to make it happen and I’ve seen many homes in excellent condition be as good a deal as some of the foreclosure listings available in today’s real estate market. The fall in the housing market has brought us back in line with where history says our housing prices should be. So if history is any indication, now could be the best time ever to buy a home.

When you add in that 30 year fixed rate mortgages are at historical lows, home buyers can get both a GREAT deal on a home and a GREAT low mortgage payment. If you’re a first time home buyer who didn’t lose any money in the real estate downturn, you could greatly benefit from today’s market. Even if you currently own a home, by moving up in today’s market the net effect on your real estate investment could be favorable by buying a larger home in today’s down real estate market. In today’s buyer’s market, home buyers in Kansas City, Johnson County Kansas, Overland Park and the surrounding areas have great negotiating power and there are great deals to be found across virtually all price ranges.

Owning A Kansas City Home Has A Huge Effect On Our Economy

Posted on by

Checking The Pulse Of The Kansas City Real Estate Market

Wondering if housing really drives the economy? According to a study by NAR, one job is created for every two homes sold and homeownership accounts for more than 15% — over $2 TRILLION — of our U.S. GDP.  With the exception of many homeowners who purchased in 2006 and 2007, the financial reward of owning a home has been the single best investment most people have ever made. For those who haven’t done well or who have treaded water, there are still MANY other benefits to owning a home.

Though complicated to assess, the social benefits of home ownership are certainly huge. The NAR study indicates that homeowners pay 80% to 90% of federal income taxes collected. During our country’s great history, homeowner’s net worth has been about 40 times greater than that of renters. People who own homes also contribute greatly to stabilizing the neighborhoods in which they live, enjoy reduced crime in their areas and generally live more enriched lifestyles than those who rent.

Show Me The Buildfax… Will It Help Kansas City Homebuyers?

Posted on by

Checking The Pulse Of The Kansas City Real Estate Market

You probably know someone who has used the internet to run a background check on someone they’ve just started dating. You’ve heard the commercials imploring consumer to tell car dealers “show me the Carfax”. So you’d think it wouldn’t have taken this long for someone to attempt to give potential home buyers the ability to do a background check on the home they’re buying. That’s what Buildfax Property History attempts to do and they’re offering home buyers the opportunity to get a free Buildfax Property History report through the end of August.


Buildfax touts their reports are beneficial to just about everyone associated with the real estate industry, including home buyers, insurance companies, title companies, home inspectors and appraisers. I presume the reports will come from a database of city permits and Buildfax readily admits it has access to less than 2/3 of such records across the U.S. But the potential exists here to find out a lot of interesting things about a home at a reasonable price.

If it does indeed lead to uncovering issues like major structural issues it could save home buyers thousands of dollars. Even if it just helps a buyer better understand major work done to a roof,  electrical, plumbing or HVAC, it could be well worth the $40 they’re going start charging after the end of this month. If you’re thinking about giving it a trial run, now’s the time while it’s free… so go check it out here.
