From Tricky Mortgage Rates in Kansas City to Finding Your Dream Home: I’ve Got Your Back
Hey there, it’s Jessica. You know, sometimes I feel like I should’ve been a therapist instead of a realtor – the amount of hand-holding and pep talks I’ve been giving lately! But seriously, let’s chat about what’s going on in our Kansas City housing market.
Mortgage Rates: The Good, The Bad, and The “Huh?”
So, mortgage rates are down. Yay, right? Well, kind of. It’s like being told you can have ice cream for dinner, but then realizing the freezer’s broken. Sure, lower rates are great, but our market’s not playing nice. I had a client last week – let’s call him Bob – who was all excited about these rates. Poor Bob thought he’d be swimming in affordable mansions. Had to break it to him gently that it’s not that simple. Sellers aren’t budging on prices, and inventory? Well, let’s just say it’s tighter than my schedule on a Monday morning.
Your Options: More Than Just Houses
Here’s where I put on my thinking cap for you. Have you considered the whole townhouse vs duplex difference? I know, I know, it sounds like a snooze-fest, but trust me, in this market, it could be your golden ticket. And for my investor friends out there (or anyone curious about dipping their toes), I’ve been eyeballing the Kansas City multifamily market report. It’s not all rainbows and butterflies, but there are some interesting nuggets in there.

Why I Do What I Do (Despite the Grey Hairs)
You know, some days I look at the real estate license pros and cons and wonder if I should’ve become a professional Netflix watcher instead. But then I help a family find their dream home or a seller get that life-changing offer, and I remember why I love this gig. So, here’s my promise to you: I’ll always give it to you straight.
