My wife and I bought our home in Olathe in 2007. This spring we got a divorce. Recently, I have been laid off from work and can't keep up on the mortgage. I offered to let my ex-wife have the home, but she is not in position to make the mortgage either. I had an appraisal done on the home and found out that my home is worth much less than what I owe on the home. What can I do?

Jeremy G. from Olathe, Kansas.


Answer: Sorry to hear about your situation, Jeremy. Although I would prepare for a short sale, I would first request a loan modification from your lender. Your lender should offer some options. Mortgage lenders are getting much more aggressive in working out short sales in Kansas. Since time is of the essence, I would also hire a real estate agent who specializes or has experience with short sales immediately.

My boyfriend and I are looking to purchase a home in the Johnson County, Kansas this spring. We have a small down payment and will probably need down payment help for a conventional home loan. We need to stay in the area because of our jobs and would like to put our hard working money into a home. As first time home buyers, are there any down payment assistance programs?

–Janice from Olathe, Kansas


Answer: Great question, Janice. If you have less than a 5% down payment for a conventional mortgage don't worry. There are some other loan programs that you may qualify in order you can buy a home in Johnson County, Kansas.


First, if either you or your boyfriend are veterans, you may qualify for a VA home loan. a VA loan will allow you to buy a home with nearly zero down.


If the VA option is not available, you may qualify for a FHA home loan. With a FHA home loan, a borrower could buy a home with less than 5% down. In addition, the requirements are a little looser for FHA versus a conventional home loan.


If you buy a Fannie Mae foreclosure, you may qualify for a Fannie Mae Home Path home loan. This home loan program will allow you to buy a qualifying Fannie Mae foreclosure home with $100.


If you want to buy a home in a USDA area, you may qualify for a USDA Rural Development home mortgage. A USDA RD home mortgage allows a home buyer to buy a home with nearly zero down. Areas in Johnson County that qualify for a USDA home loan are Gardner, Edgerton, DeSoto and Spring Hill.


Hope this helps, Janice.

I hear that in areas like Las Vegas, NV and Phoenix, AZ over half of the sales are cash sales. Is that the case in Johnson County, Kansas? How about Kansas City?

Question: I hear that in areas like Las Vegas, NV and Phoenix, AZ over half of the sales are cash sales. Is that the case in Johnson County, Kansas? How about Kansas City?
Jim K. from Shawnee, KS.


Answer: Great question, Jim. In areas where over 50% of the real estate inventory is distressed I would expect that over 50% of the real estate sales to be cash sales. Due to deferred maintenance, it is hard to obtain a mortgage loan on a distressed sale like foreclosures and short sales. 


I'm happy to report that the number of distressed sales in areas like Johnson County, KS. are not 50% of all sales. Less than 25% of the real estate sales in Johnson County, KS. are distressed sales, so it should be no surprise that only 19% of the sales are cash sales.


In January of 2012 in Johnson County, 72 or 19% of the total real estate sales were cash sales. 


As a whole, Kansas City has a fewer percentage of distressed sales than areas like Las Vegas and Phoenix.

Derrick L. from Lenexa, Kansas


Answer: Great question, Derrick. Although, it is more difficult to obtain a new home mortgage than it was 3 years ago, home buyers are obtaining home mortgages. Out of 39 new homes sold in January 76% of the new home purchases were bought with conventional financing. Only 5% of the new homes bought in January were bought with cash.

Answer: Sorry, Jackie to be the bearer of bad news. No, an individual that is a minor can not sign a legally enforceable document like a real estate contract. You can have a trust setup on your behalf. The trust could hold the property until you reach of age. You will need to consult an attorney regarding setting up the trust.

By Taking Our Johnson County, KS. Home Off the Real Estate Market Then Re-Listing, We Can Prevent Home Buyers from seeing that Our Home has been on the Real Estate Market for over 8 Months, Right?

By Taking Our Johnson County, KS. Home Off the Real Estate Market Then Re-Listing, We Can Prevent Home Buyers from seeing that Our Home has been on the Real Estate Market for over 8 Months, Right?

Question: Our rural Johnson County, KS. home has been on the market for approximately eight months now. I suggested to my wife that we take it off the market and re-list this coming spring or summer. It will also help our home look fresh on the MLS. My wife felt we should keep it on the market. Our home is located in the rural area and gets very little traffic. Our Realtor said it wouldn’t matter with the listing.

Buyers who view our home will notice that it has been on the market 8 months. By taking our home off the market, buyers may miss that it has been on the market so long when we re-list it, right?

What do you think?
Alan P. from rural Johnson County

Answer: Sorry to break the bad news. Our MLS in Kansas City makes it easy for real estate agents and their buyers to view the total days on the market. In addition, the Kansas City Heartland MLS, provides a link for the MLS history of its listings, including seeing price changes and cancellations. The days on the market may get reset if it is off the market 75 days, but this will not change the history. Real estate agents in Kansas City routinely look at the days on the market and the MLS history. By taking your market off the market, you will not mask how many days your home has been on the real estate market.

I would have your real estate agent provide you a pricing analysis and then aggressively price your home to sell. We have had a mild winter and rural properties priced right and show well are selling.
