Buying a home is an amazing accomplishment, one that can set your family up for future wealth, provide security and give you the satisfaction that comes with owning your own home. But before you can become a home owner you need to get approved for a loan.For many would be home buyers this has become a challenge, many have the income but lack the credit score to qualify. If you are in this predicament here are 3 easy steps to get on the right track. I want to give a little disclaimer, credit scores don't magically improve overnight and be very leery of anyone that promises you just that.  # 1 Credit Report - Many people don't know this but you are allowed a free copy of your credit report every year.

Every year in January I write my annual recap of Hampton Place Home Sales for the prior year, 2018 will go down as the year of "Sale Pending" no sooner than a home listed did it seem like it was under contract. For those of you who are considering selling in 2019, here is a look back and my forecast for 2019. A look back at 2018The overall number of homes SOLD was relatively unchanged from 2017 and hasn't changed much over the past 5 years, we have been generally seeing about 20 to 30 homes sell per year. In a neighborhood the size of Hampton Place we would expect a turn over rate of 10% but have seen only about a 5% turn over rate for the last 5 years.While the number of homes SOLD has been flat, the average sales price for Hampton Place homes has been steadily increasing. The average ...

How was the housing inventory for 66212 Overland Park for October 2018? A normal real estate market requires a 6 month supply of inventory of homes for sale in order for home prices to increase “only with inflation.” The real estate market has been on a decline of housing inventory for quite some time. This has led to home price increases throughout our KC Metro and including the area of Overland Park 66212.  Take a look for yourself at homes for sale in 66212 Overland Park KS.The chart below shows the housing supply for the prior 12 months for homes in 66212. As you can see, there has not been a significant increase in housing inventory.  While there has not been any significant increase in housing inventory for 66212, I believe that closely monitoring inventory in terms of new listing...
