Commentary:  Johnson County homes weathering the slumping housing market much better than Jackson County.  The zip code 64113 stats are an average, with home prices ranging from $150K to over $1million.  To truly get a picture of 64113, you  to average sales within a 5 or 6 block area because of the wide difference in prices.  In Armour Hills, where prices generally run from $200K-$300K, the upper end of the market is difficult and the lower end is stronger--due to the affordability for first time home buyers.
