So you watched Kansas City Mortgage interest rates with the anticipation, the certainty, that rates would drop as surely as the temperature on your wireless thermometer.

"That's How I got to be This Way"

So you watched Kansas City Mortgage interest rates with the anticipation, the certainty, that rates would drop as surely as the temperature on your wireless thermometer.

Giggly with excitement, you contemplated refinancing your Olathe home...perhaps thought of purchasing a new home. And you waited.

We know....We were watching you when you contacted us for help in finding a new Overland Park home.

As friends purchased their new Lenexa homes, you watched them pack and move, helping them unpack again, warming their feet by the fires of fireplaces new to your friends' Christmas traditions. Their Christmas parties overflowed with Holiday cheer, and you waited.

We know....We were listening to you as we viewed the 27th home together, and you told us you wanted a "Better Deal".

Your spouse asked with innocent trust, "Are you sure we can get this home at a better discount and still get this incredible interest rate?". Barely containing your smirk, you assuredly responded, "Yes dear. The market hasn't hit bottom, not only will this one be available in a month, interest rates will go lower."

With a glint in your eye, you stated confidently,"Then we'll make our move."

We discussed stats, average sales data, saturation rates, reviewed countless photos, and watched as your spouse longingly ran fingertips over granite counter tops.

We knew you were headed for trouble.

You waited.

Last week you called me, disappointment clearly hanging from every word. "I know I said we'd wait.  I thought things would only get better in this Buyer's market. Trulia, Zillow...all the EXPERTS told me the downward spiral would continue."

"Now I've lost it.  My dream home. Gone. Where do we start?"

Hey Cheer up Buttercup, don't worry....Interest rates are at record lows and there is less competition during the Winter months, let's get out there this week while all of the lazy slugs are sitting on their sofas watching parades and college football games.

RE/MAX sells more homes than any other real estate company.

For a reason...should we talk?
