Market Update for Kansas City

04-06-09
Randy Beale
Welcome to Spring! Well at least the calendar says it is Spring, the temperature outside today tells us a different story. But that will be changing VERY SOON! I'm hoping if I emphasize that, Someone will hear and make it so!
Spring has definitetly sprung in the local real estate market. Every listing agent I talk to tells me showings are way up. I personally have experienced my buyers having to compete against multiple offers on several homes. Sales were up in February significantly over January, and I expect March numbers, when availaible, will be up even more significantly. The absorption rate(or "months of supply") numbers are holding pretty steady, that is mostly due to an increase in inventory that pretty much mirrored the increase in sales. We consider a 6 months supply to be a balanced market, so overall, we are in a buyers market with a 7.5 months supply. But that number has slowly been creeping down. In February of 08 we were at 9.5 months supply.
All this being said, we are inching near a turn in our market. Interest rates are still at historical lows, buyers still have many choices, and first-time home buyers have the best opportunity they will EVER see sitting right in front of them(inventory still up, rates low, prices still down and FREE MONEY in the form of an up to $8000 tax credit if they buy by December 1.)
I believe we are about to see a market reversal, and I believe it will happen this year, but please be warned: if you wait for the media to tell you the market has shifted back to a seller's market-IT'S TOO LATE! The media waits for the industry to tell them what has already happened. Being in the industry I am telling you the OPPORTUNITY lies in being IN the market, not following after the market. If you, or anyone you know is thinking of buying, the TIME TO WAIT IS OVER! Now is the market of opportunity. Call, text or email TODAY to get started!
SELLERS: Do not fret! Your time is coming, and may very well already be here. Well maintained, well priced homes are being gobbled up. So if you want or need to sell, give me a call for a consultation on whether now is the right time for you or whether waiting is your best option. I will ALWAYS give my HONEST opinion based on what is best for YOU!

Platte County Schools

03-19-09
Randy Beale

If you are considering a move to the Kansas City Missouri area, please consider Platte County. All the school districts in Platte County are Top Notch. From Park Hill in Kansas City, to North Platte in Dearborn, Edgerton and Camden Point, great teachers, test scores, low teacher to student ratios and fine extracurriculars abound. Platte r-3 in Platte City and the West Platte Schools in Weston are just as great. There is still a lot of land available to be able to stretch out a little, or if you prefer being closer to your neighbors, subdivisions such as Running Horse and Seven Bridges, to name just a couple, offer great amenities and housing opportunities.

Our communities are vibrant and active. Give me a call or send me an email to learn more about living in Platte County!

Ashton F. and Caren W

"Randy was very calm and easy to talk to. He was very flexible and didn't act like a salesperson, but a friend who wanted the best for us. We rate him all 10's, outstanding service. In helping us organize our search and find the home that best met our needs, Randy went above our expectations. Would we use Randy again for our next home sale or purchase? PLAN ON IT!"

Dave & Betsy J.

Did Randy listen to our wants and needs? Yes

Did he help reduce frustrations and surprises? Absolutely

He even told us of a great loan product that helped us get the home we wanted faster and without having to write a contingent offer.

Furthermore, we were very picky and he kept at it until he found what we wanted. Randy did a great job? I have already referred him to several friends and Randy will be our Realtor for Life!!!

Reggie & Kathy St. J
Randy is extremely personable and works hard to facilitate a pleasant buying and selling experience for all involved. He is a well-informed and knowledgable agent. Randy was the absolute best. We will refer family and freinds to him. We highly recommend his expertise and services; he is a great agent.

Darren & Brandi G.
All 10's! Randy listened to our wants and needs and consulted with us on the whole buying process. He reduced our frustrations and surprises. When it came to financing, he explained our options and helped find a loan program that fit our needs. He organized the home search process and found the house that was best for us. He helped us negotiate to get terms, price and conditions that were fair and in our best interests. And finally he walked us through closing so everything worked out on time as promised. We will use Randy again and refer him to our friends and family.

Carol & Genny W
We always appreciated Randy's honest and watchful eye! He really took the time to check out financing options and gave us multiple options from which to choose! We will always recommend Randy to our friends and family and will definitely call Randy again for our real estate needs! Randy-Everything you did for us was a blessing! Thanks again and again!!!

Matt & Polly G.
Randy answered all of our questions, we were VERY comfortable speaking with him on every subject that came up. He dug for information and spent as much time as we needed to make sure our new home REALLY met our needs.

Randy's fight and determination helped us get a great deal on our home. He went over and above to help us in every possible way. THANK YOU!
