Kansas City has always been a city built around the automobile. However, more and more Kansas City neighborhoods are obtaining walkable status. Do you know what your current neighborhood rating is? It may be a good time to consider moving to one of the top 4 "Walker Paradise" locations. Read more on WalkScore here.
When purchasing a home, either for your first, second, vacation or investment property, Kansas City homes are considered to be a great investment. Properties in the Urban Kansas City MO Core are selling well but you need to know where to look! You should always make sure to work with an Accredited Buyers Agent that can offer advice and guide you to make the best decision possible. An Accredited Buyers Agent can also work hard on your behalf in price negotiation when only representing the buyer - not helping the buyer and representing the seller.
You will find quick search tabs on this website for all urban areas and budgets. You can search condos, lofts, townhomes and houses in the Urban Core using this free feature. You can also search all listings available in the greater Kansas City MO area by clicking on the "All KC Homes" tab. Looking for a foreclosure? We have them listed too!
Over 80% of buyers start their search on-line. However, you can only look at pictures for so long. When you are ready to bring pictures to life and really get a feel for what is out there, please let me know and I will put together a free tour of all available homes in the Urban KC area that are great options. In the meantime, please also utilize the following free home buyer's link which is packed with useful information.
Sellers have many options when picking the right agent to list their property. I consider myself a consultant and not an agent. I offer guidance when listing your property from staging all the way through until after closing. It is vital in this market to stage your home (we include this service when we list your property), price it right and market it correctly ensuring it stands out from the "crowd". The last thing you want to do is "chase the market" making for numerous price reductions and long days on the market.
Please visit the home seller's link below for additional information of what Urban KC Living can help you bring to the table. You may also contact me anytime with questions or for a free market analysis of your property!
Interest rates are incredibly low. Home prices are listed at market value - not prices that show greedy sellers. The 2009 first time home buyer tax credit is in full swing (you can read about it on the link to the left). It's a great time to buy!!!
