Premiere Kansas City Moving Company – 816-410-0658

February was a big month for the Kansas City metropolitan area’s real estate market according to the National Association of Home Builders/First American Improving Markets Index. Each month, the index adds new cities to the list as markets improve, and the tally is currently naming almost 100 cities as improving.

In addition Kansas City, several other cities had successful months in February, such as Miami, Boston, Detroit, Portland and Salt Lake City. While the study certainly highlights a positive trend, the Kansas City movers want to save our excitement and follow the current statistics and make sure that the positive market trends continues in Kansas City.

A new trend is catching on throughout the Midwest–something the real estate industry is calling flat-fee real estate service. Already used on the east and west coasts of the country, the idea is gaining momentum in the Midwest as downtrodden economies are still weighing on many. The flat fees are directly coordinated with the selling price of a home, with starting prices at $1,500 for a $190,000 home.

The Kansas City movers are glad that structure has been brought to the sale of homes, and that people can’t be taken for a ride or charged exorbitant hidden fees by anyone involved in the sale. A flat fee is much more manageable for people who were unable to buy or sell with the previous 6 percent realtor fee.

According to recent figures, the homes in Kansas City’s wealthiest neighborhood– Overland Park –are averaging at sales prices of $441,000. The neighborhood is affiliated with amenities sure to lure families from all over, who can afford it. Shawnee Mission and Blue Valley school districts are perks of buying in the area.

In fact, 7 of 10 local wealthy ZIP codes are all located close to the state line in Johnson County. Here at the Kansas City movers, we are always available to help families and individuals relocate throughout the city or out of Kansas City–we tailor our services to specifically meet your needs.

According to financial stalwarts such as Warren Buffett, buying up a bunch of single-family homes is a sound investment at the moment. It’s a method of leveraging cheap assets that could quite possibly become a significant set of assets.

In a place like Kansas City, the real estate market is strong, but there is still a wide market for renters not looking for the commitment of a mortgage. Kansas City is among a few other markets in the country that have retained status as a cash-stable area. Here at the Kansas City movers, we’re proud to be among the likes of other metropolitan areas such as Atlanta, Chicago and Pittsburgh, among others.

Recently, Kansas City was named in the Top 10 Best Investment Markets in America by Realtors.com. Kansas City is joined at the top of the listby Tucson, Arizona and Austin, Texas. The list was compiled based on a number of factors–such as housing supply & demand, price trends in recent months, and unemployment rates. The numbers were compared in just under 150 markets nationwide.

The Kansas City movers are excited to see our city gain recognition for being an outstanding place not only to live, but to invest in. With an unemployment rate at 7.3 percent and a steady real estate property listing database, Kansas City has garnered attention for something other than our prize winning barbeque!

A foundation that was started post-Katrina by Brad Pitt, the Make it Right Foundation, will help rebuild the flood-ravaged Kansas City to transform a closed school into an affordable housing facility with a community center. The school, which is over 100 years old, will morph into 29 apartment buildings in an economically depressed part of town. Additionally, a new building with 21 apartments will be built in the Manheim Neighborhood Association.

Parking garages, a branch of the Kansas City Police Department, and other additions will be a part of the restoration. The Kansas City movers feel its also worth noting that the constructions will all be built to LEED Platinum environmental standards.

Google has been leaving clues that a Google TV service is coming to Kansas City. The television branch of Google, Google Fiber, has recently completed applications to provide video services in both Missouri and Kansas. But what does Google Fiber plan to bring to the area?

Specifically, Google Fiber comes from fiber optics. While the specifics are still being explored, it was only a few months ago that Google brought the first ultra-fast internet service to Kansas City rather than over 1,000 other metro areas through the country. There is speculation that the Google internet services will work with the fibers to offer an array of technological services.

The Kansas City movers want to know–will you be on board for Google TV? Or is it too futuristic to integrate into the masses?

The Grand Pavilion at the Kansas City Airport Marriott Hotel has an interesting new offering resulting from $200,000 in renovations. So what is it? A lakeside enclosure along the side of the hotel. With 8 foot glass walls and a 15 foot flowing ceiling, you can enjoy the lake view without being outdoors and susceptible to bug bites.

The goal of the lake? To provide traveler’s a comfortable respite in between travels with a few that’s more blissful than simply staring at a wall, or worse, the awkward side of a building. The space is even outfitted with chandeliers and new, glamorous doors. The Kansas City movers think that special touches like this make Kansas City an interesting place to not only visit, but also to live.

A Kansas City real estate firm, Zimmer Real Estate Services, recently helped a local animal hospital purchase over six acres at a Missouri industrial space–Heartland Meadows Industrial Park, which is located in Liberty.

The Kansas City commercial movers have learned that Animal Health International purchased the land with the intention of future expansion. An animal hospital that encompasses several acres will definitely be a help to foster animals, homeless pets, and other animals in distress–while also providing relevant veterinary care and pet boarding services, among other things.

Toto, the companion of Dorothy in the “Wizard of Oz.” has survived flying inside a Kansas tornado, being abducted by the infamous Wicked Witch of the West and waking up from the deadly poppy field. Now the legendary canine must survive in yet another war, but this time between politicians and PETA members. This uproar derives from the decision of whether or not Toto should be named the state dog of Kansas. A Kansas legislator supports the idea of Cairn terrier to become the official dog of the state while PETA challenges the idea, suggesting the heart healthy all American “mutt” should be labeled as the state dog of Kansas. Your Kansas professional movers will be actively listening for the update of which canine, if any; will be the state dog of Kansas.
