From Overpriced Offices to Luxury Homes in Kansas That’ll Make Your Eyes Water
Okay, listen up. It’s Jessica, and I gotta get this off my chest before I lose it. This Kansas City real estate market? It’s… I don’t even know anymore.
The Commercial Mess
So, this Fed report comes out, right? Saying commercial real estate is down. No kidding! I could’ve told them that for free. Drove past downtown yesterday – felt like a ghost town. But here’s the weird part – industrial spaces? Apartments? They’re selling like hotcakes. Make it make sense! Had this client call me yesterday about an office space. Told him he’d have better luck renting it out as a haunted house attraction. At least that way someone would actually be in the building.
Houses, Sweet Houses… Or Not
Now, let’s talk houses. Everyone’s freaking out about real estate rates 2024. Up, down, sideways – I’m getting motion sickness here. And don’t even get me started on inventory. Finding a decent house in this market is like trying to find a parking spot at the Plaza during the holidays. Oh, and the questions I get? Lord help me. Had someone ask me about the difference between a condo vs duplex vs townhouse. Spent 20 minutes explaining, and I swear, at the end, they asked if a duplex was a type of car. I need a raise.
You Want a License? You Sure About That?
Keeps happening. People calling about the pros and cons of real estate license. Pros? You might make money. Cons? Everything else. There, saved you a three-hour seminar.
Final Thoughts (If I Have Any Left)
Look, I’m gonna level with you. This market’s crazier than a bag of cats. One minute I’m showing million-dollar mansions, next I’m helping someone find a place where the kitchen isn’t also the bedroom. And please, for the love of all that’s holy, stop asking if is a townhouse is the sameas a duplex. It’s not! I’m gonna get it tattooed on my forehead at this rate. Bottom line? If you’re buying or selling, buckle up. It’s gonna be a wild ride. And if you need help, call me. Just… maybe not before my first coffee, okay? I’m only human. Now, where did I put that bottle of aspirin?
