Dwight Goodwin and Rick Woodruff Discuss the Johnson County KS Down Paym...

Today, I sat down with Rick Woodruff of Metropolitan Mortgage to talk about the Johnson County Kansas down payment assistance program.

This program has up to $10,000 in down payment assistance available for qualifying buyers. Although it starts out as a loan, it acts like a grant in that 20% is forgiven for each year through Year 5. The program creates opportunity for those who want to take advantage of a great real estate market with near-record low interest rates.

Dwight Goodwin on Improving Conditions of the Johnson County KS Real Est...

Statistics from Heartland MLS indicate improving conditions for home sales in Johnson County Kansas. Single Family closed sales are up 25% YTD over 2011 figures YTD, while average sales price is up 2% over the same period. A second sign of an improving market is the increase of new home sales; closed volume is up 30% year over year, while the average sales price is up 7%.

A March 2011 to March 2012 snapshot of For Sale vs. Sold shows a 14.6% drop in inventory, with a 7.1% increase in sales. There is currently less than 6 months inventory of single family homes in Johnson County. If this number drops further when the April numbers are released, this will be further evidence of a stabilizing market.

Buyers should remain in favorable conditions, particularly with interest rates still near all-time lows, but sellers may also see more opportunity as inventory drops and average sale prices rise.
