Based on recent data reported by the Home Builders Association of Greater Kansas City, the Mission Hills movers have found that the home construction in the region is at its strongest level in five years. The data is a positive sign for the current state as well as the future of the Kansas City real estate market and overall economy. The figures reported for January 2013 are up 45 percent over figures reported for January 2012, with 273 permits filed in comparison the earlier amount of 188 permits.

The fact that the market is calling for new construction and that consumers in the region are comfortable in taking on the financial endeavor of building a home rather than buying an existing home is also a positive nod towards the economic stability of our area. The largest gain in permit filing was along the Kansas border in Johnson and Wyandotte counties.
