Weather or the Economy?
I am going to make a bold statement and say that I actually think that the weather is contributing more to our current market conditions than the state of the economy is.
Several weeks ago we had 30 year rates dip below 6% and at the same brief moment we had an ice storm here in the Kansas City metro. With seemingly constant snowfall buyers don’t feel like looking at homes and when it ices--even I don't like looking at homes!
In the first time buyer price range I still haven't seen the influx of activity I would hope for in light of the low rates. Even the $150,000 price range is not so hot.
However, predictions for the 2nd quarter are promising. We still have low unemployment in our area. While certainly slowed, we still have appreciation in most areas of Johnson County and whe--that's good news.
I'm just betting that all those buyers that have been holed hope during all this winter weather come out in droves when we start hitting the 60 degree mark--so chin up sellers!
