Some new homes are being built in Shawnee.  Five basements are in process in this subdivision.  The homes will be priced in the lower $200K range.  Other subdivisions in western Johnson county have some new homes being built as well.

Most trend watchers are saying that we are probably at the bottom of the housing market downturn nationwide.  In the Kansas City metro we haven’t experienced the kind of devastation some other  cities have, but we still have been affected.

Seeing some new construction being done is a good sign in general.  Everyone is looking forward to a better housing market.  Spring may be a busy time around here.
