Kansas City has had a fair share of positive press in terms of the real estate market in recent months. The metro was named as one of the healthiest markets in America last year, and homes have been appreciating in the area at a rate that eclipses much of the country. Population growth is steady and isn’t seeing much of a surge, so the existing job market and inventory of housing availability are not threatened for the time being. Even when the market burst, the impact in Kansas City was a moderate blow.

The Kansas City movers are glad to report that the market is definitely growing at a healthy rate in our metro, and sales climbed in addition to listing/closing prices. New construction sales are up, and numbers are poising 2012 to be the most successful year in the area since 2003. In keeping with the other positive elements, the inventory in Kansas City was noted at a 7 month supply.

Here’s hoping that 2013 continues to strengthen the Kansas City market and the rest of the nation.
