Checking The Pulse Of The Kansas City Real Estate Market

Housing has led the way for every major economic recovery in U.S. history. To be sure our government is not overlooking the importance of housing, there’s a seven city Rally For Homeownership event across the U.S. and it’s making a stop in Kansas City next week. You can play an important role by attending the event next Tuesday 9/25/12 from 11:30am to 1pm. The free event is put on with cooperation of the National Association of Home Builders and as a former president of the KC Home Builder’s Association, my brother Mike Brown is chairman of the event.

Our lawmakers seem to have forgotten that housing generates jobs and stimulates our economy, so the objective of the Rally For Homeownership event is to ensure that our lawmakers DO remember that when they’re making decisions that affect our country’s short-term and long-term future. It’s up to us to remind Congress that Americans value the pride of homeownership, the investment that is homeownership, that owning a home is the American way and that it’s critical for our laws reflect these truths.

Speakers at the event will include Emanuel Cleaver (U.S. Representative), Nick Jordan (Kansas Secretary of Revenue), Kevin Stucker (President of the KC Home Builders Association), Don Reimal (Independence MO Mayor), Dave Lindstrom (Johnson County KS Commissioner) and Chris Koster (Missouri Attorney General).

The initial rally in Columbia South Carolina drew nearly 1000 citizens and spearheaded these additional 7 stops. The location for the Kansas City event is the Harry S. Truman Library and Museum in Independence MO and you can click here for directions. The event lasts 1.5 hours and I hope you’ll attend as this affects anyone who owns a home, hopes to own a home, works in a profession affected by the housing industry as well as anyone who simply cares about the great effect that the housing market has on our country’s economic recovery.
