What Did Tax Credits Do for Lawrence Kansas Real Estate Homes for Sale Market?

What Did Tax Credits Do for Lawrence Kansas Real Estate Homes for Sale Market?  Quite a bit actually.  While not all of the houses purchsed during the qualifying time period of the tax credits, there was such a surge that we do have the tax credits to thank for the increase in homes being SOLD.

Sellers who had their houses to sell for an extended period of time found out What Did Tax Credits Do for Lawrence Kansas Real Estate Homes for Sale Market when their house finally SOLD.

What Did Tax Credits Do for Lawrence Kansas Real Estate Homes for Sale Market?  Lawrence area April home sales rose 72.2% over April 2009.  There were 83 houses SOLD in April 2009 but 143 houses SOLD April 2010.  That is an incredible jump!

What Did Tax Credits Do for Lawrence Kansas Real Estate Homes for Sale Market?  Sellers were able to obtain a higher median sales price which was $163,000 for April 2010 vs $159,000 in 2009. 

What Did Tax Credits Do for Lawrence Kansas Real Estate Homes for Sale Market?  Median new construction transactions also rose from 4 houses in April 2009 to 7 houses in April 2010.

I SOLD 4 houses in April to my buyers that were for $163,000 -- $163,100 -- $247,500 -- $264,900.  I have 12 additional houses that are under contract that are set to close prior to June 30th to qualify for the tax credit.

Many home buyers are not aware that they may still qualify for the tax credit even though the deadline has passed.  They should call a Realtor agent like myself to find out if they still qualify.

The interesting part that amuses me is that while the tax credit has now expired, there are buyers still out there making purchases!!  I would have thought that they would have gotten their order in by the deadline but while the tax credit helped several home buyers, sellers should be thrilled to see that they haven't missed the boat and that there is still hope.

Sellers can give me a call to see how I can assist them to get their home SOLD and to get the best price for their home.  I quite often get full asking price for my listings or at least very close to asking price.

163,000  is a median price in Lawrence amazing. I remember Lawerence being a neat little city while visiting  Junction City in 1971.

Hi Ron,

Yes, in 2000 the median house would have been about $100,000.  Back in 1971 when I graduated high school, they were around $39,000.  Invest here now at $163,000 and probably end up at $200,000 plus for the median house in 2020!

Rob, I think the Tax Credit really helped sales everywhere. I was feeling like we were doing ok even after it expired and then we had The Flood and most things have come to a screeching halt. :(
