Mortgage Rates are at low for 2011 so far!! I was checking on a loan program today for 2 specific buyers.  One was the 30 year fixed rate which is at 4.5%!! Which is an awesome rate!  It's actually incredible to think that the mortgage rates have continued to stay low for as long as they have.  Which makes this time one of those unprecedented times to consider buying a home or an investment property.  Home values have dropped over the last 18-24 month here in Johnson County as else where in the country.  But the best thing of Kansas City is the stability that we have here from the diverse employment in the area.  We don't have the high appreciation as other areas - but we don't have the lows either.  We tend to be more stable with less volital swings.  That's always been the good news of the area!!

But we all need a place to call home to hang our hats each night.  That is the one thing with home ownership or investment property, that you have a tangible asset as an improvement.  You get to live in it, you get to use it as a tax deduction, you get to change it - improve it plus you can even rent it out to collect an income. What other investment vehicle can do that? None!  Now is the time to spring into the real estate market in Johnson County.  Check out our homes for sale in Overland Park for either the dream home or an investment property!  If you have any questions, we're here to help answer them and give you some things to consider and think about when buying that next Overland Park home for sale!
