Though sometimes it may seem that we expect immediate results, there really are some results that are worth reporting. For the last two years, Shelley Staton and Doug Lyman of The Lyman Staton Group Realtors have been reassuring prospective home buyers and sellers that the housing market in Kansas City is not the doom and gloom you may see on the nightly news. For The Lyman Staton Group Realtors, 2009 was their best year yet, topping the previous best in 2008 and resulting in a real estate transaction every 9.6 days. Residents of the Kansas City metro area can now be assured that this is no fluke! In an update from 2/22/10 on the National Association of Realtors website, Realtor.org, it is stated that the median home price increased by 6.5% for the fourth quarter of 2009. That is right, they increased! You may have also heard how tough it is to get financed now or that you missed your chance to capitalize on low mortgage rates, but the following is a quote from an article where Kansas City was ranked the number one "City for Borrowers": Source: Forbes, Francesca Levy (03/22/2010)
So, I say to any of you that are on the fence about buying or selling a home, go for it! There is still time to take advantage of the government tax credits of $6,500 for current home owners and $8,000 for first time buyers! Shelley, Doug, Forbes Magazine and the National Association of Realtors all agree, now is the time to fulfill your American Dream of home ownership! If you already own a home, now is the time to get the one you want! The data from the NAR shows the housing market is improving, Forbes Magazine says, “This kind of solid housing market motivates banks to offer lower rates and better terms” and The Lyman Staton Group Realtors have increased their number of real estate transactions for two consecutive years. Isn’t this a team you would like to be a part of? Isn't it time you had a local trusted source to trust with arguably the largest sale or purchase you may ever make?
