Who knows…! It seems like we have been in a bidding war on Johnson County foreclosure properties. It also seems like less homes are coming on the market: maybe sellers have decided just to stay? But we may be at the “perfect storm” of low interest rates and the bottom of the prices. So….do you want to stay in one place for 5 years? IF so…buy a house! www.KCHomeseekers.com
Many banks with pre-approved short sales want to close out their books in the next few weeks. If you see a short sale…make ANY offer on it–If the bank doesn’t like it, they will counter.
We have sold a $114,000 house (loan) for $65,000….a $120,000 loan for $75,000 and a $420,000 for $330,000. You never know what the short sale departments will do.
Shawnee Mission East school boundary seems to be hot! We had a Prairie Village cape and a Round Hill 2story….each had 2 contracts offered and each sold in 3 days! Email us if you know someone living east of Metcalf who needs to sell! Missy@sellyourKChome.com.
Great networking groups really make a difference in your career….I recommend them highly. By the way THREE Short Sales approved in the last 1.5 weeks…unreal! Real estate sales are rockin’!
If you aren’t moving, maybe you didnt know how low the rates are, but time to evaluate. We have a great lender who will convert your loan, and in many times save hundreds of dollars! Email me for their info. Kcrobinkrieger@gmail.com
It costs about $50,000 to put in a pool and surround…..if you can find a home with a great pool, the price is usually less than if you bought a home and added a pool. Buy it! They are Way easier to maintain than you tphink.
Did you see the KC Star this Sunday? Usually they write about 60 days behind what agents in the field experience….I can tell you this article was the real deal. I think our Sellers are realizing that homes are for living, not leveraging. Our quantity of homes sold is up, but them prices are still falling. Hang in there people!
We had a brief reminder of what the “old days” were like back in 2006, 2007…..we closed over $3.2 million in Real Estate in May of 2011…whew. We are tired but ready to go again. The key is LISTINGS and getting them priced right, and staged properly. Folks that abide by our stager’s recommendations, and our price appraisals get their homes sold in 3 weeks to 6 weeks MAX. Call us 913-266–5859. YAY
People must have forgotten about the doom and gloom over the lack of the tax credit….it ended April 30th. Missy and I had a lot of showings on our listings, and one person even wants to….horrors….BUY ONE OF OUR LISTINGS!!
Our biggest sales months are yet to come: May, June, July…..so sellers, if you still want to test the market, it is the best time you will have all years.
Homes are selling right now–Missy and I have received several offers on our listings…but the prices don’t seem to be matching even last fall’s…..We have been watching the Brookside area, South KC, and much of Joco…and it seems like we are still losing a little ground. What to do….get your home STAGED!!! This will give you an edge. We use a professional stager as part of our listing package for our sellers….works out great.
