Gud, my husband's family lives in Overland Park and Blue Springs. They don't understand why we can't buy anything out here because they just can't process the prices.
Lydia: Its removal from Burma is a felony and when triggered it has the power to melt human eyeballs.
Giles: In that case I've severely underpriced it.

How much would a postage stamp condo go for, in your neighborhood?
I believe for a 2B in my neighborhood, the condo rate is currrently in the 240K+ range, without any knowledge of the size. (Probably 50K less in Revere.) I don't expect my own apartment to sell for any less than 240K (if it were to be sold). You'd be really alarmed to see what "luxury condo" means around here.
In my neighborhood, a 712 sq ft apartment was listed at 439K. It sold for 499K.
Okay, I don't think we're that bad yet.

Overland Park seems expensive to me, Missouri side Kansas City is pretty cheap.

We're special! (Goddess bless my rent controlled apartment, that I moved into less than 6 months before the city dropped rent control.)

Happy Birthday Betsy!
ita -- congratulations on your cousin's achievement. (Seems weird to do it that way -- but you know what I mean.)
Hmmm, so last night I picked Project Trainwreck over er -- it looks like either way there was going to be squicky eyeball stuff. Although with PTW you're talking watching the fake squicky eyestuff being made rather than watching it and feeling it as if it is real.

Isn't the Missouri side considered the "nicer" side of Kansas City? I admit, I'm sometimes confused where I am and if I've crossed the state line or not as we travel around there.

What is even happening?
You'd be really alarmed to see what "luxury condo" means around here.And then you've got condo fees on top of the mortgage. In (very) general terms, I don't think it is as good of an investment to mortgage to buy a condo to live in, as it is to mortgage to buy a single family home in which to live.

But, like, to buy a freestanding house I'd have to be shopping in Belchertown or Lakeville or New Hampshire. A condo is what you shop for when a house is really out of your price range.

Johnson County, KS is considered the "nicest part" with pockets of the Missouri side on the same level. Wyandott County, KS isn't considered one of the "nicer" parts. Anything in Kansas City, Missouri proper is depressed because of all the school district problems. Then there's North of the River which is like a totally different city.

Ann, that's a ferret.
In our development (20 miles away from DC), they're building condos that now start somewhere in the $200Ks.
Last summer, we checked out the single families in the development. They were starting at about $650K then.
