Housing Crash? Not Here. Kansas City’s Market Remains Resilient

Here’s the updated blog post with the interest rate section revised to reflect that rates are steady and slowly falling:

💼 Strong Jobs = Strong Market: Why Now Is Still a Smart Time to Buy

If you’ve been sitting on the sidelines waiting for the real estate market to crash, here’s a reality check—it’s not happening. Last week’s jobs report made that clear.

Unemployment dropped to 4.1%, and job growth exceeded expectations. A strong labor market like this doesn’t lead to a housing crash. In fact, it does the opposite: it supports home values and fuels buyer confidence.

📈 Demand Is Still High

According to the Mortgage Bankers Association, buyer demand has outpaced last year’s numbers for 22 straight weeks. More buyers are entering the market—and that demand keeps prices stable, even with interest rates still on many buyers’ minds.

🕒 Waiting Might Cost You

Many buyers are hoping for a price drop, but the data says otherwise. And while rates are steady and slowly falling, the overall stability of today’s market could present a great opportunity to buy before more competition returns.
