As March comes to an end, the housing market in Leavenworth County (and I believe the Kansas City area in general) is fairly stable.  Interest rates are still hovering near 6% and that makes purchasing a home very attractive.  There are many good homes (new and resale) on the market and I believe that buyers have as many choices now as ever.  I have noticed fewer new homes being built compared to the last few years (don't read any good or bad into that.. just an observation) and the overall quality of new homes is very good.  The advances in efficiency and components/products make new homes much more economical to opearate and maintain.  As most of you know the weather here has been warmer than usual and the last couple of days has brought us alittle over 2 inches of rain.  We started the month with brown, dormant grass and now it is green and I have to MOW again!  Hope everyone has a great spring and if you have any real estate questions, don't hesitate to ask!  I would like to take this opportunity to thank my clients/customers who have listed their properties with me or have asked me to help them purchase a property.  I will work hard to help you meet your goal!    Mike

As part of supporting our annual Muscular Dystrophy Association fund raising effort, I will be "in jail" on Thursday from noon-1pm.  I am attempting to raise as much money for "bail" as I can in the next 48 hours.  I have contacted some of my friends and acquaintances to see what they can do to assist me!  The word of the day will be "Thank You!".  I will report back with my success (or term to serve) :)   Mike
