House shopping

My wife and I have spent the last couple of weeks house shopping in the North KC and Liberty area .
We have some interested buyers in our home for sale in Tn. and have started to look more seriously at homes in the area .
I'm renting an apartment now and it sucks ! I can't stand listening to the people upstairs making noise throughout the night . I have never lived in an apartment and never want to rent one again .

I think it makes a difference in the quality of the apartment that you rent. I have lived in apartments before and really never heard the people either below me or above me.

But I have visited some apartments that you could hear everything even the next door neighbors talking in normal voice.

These are nice apartments ,but a little dated . Apartment living is just not for us . We are used to living in a bigger house .

Be careful in Liberty. Nice but high taxes and if you end up in Liberty school district but a KC address tack on another 1% to the good ol earnings tax. Good luck. It’s a great time to buy.

We found a home we liked in the Liberty area and are going to write a contract on it today .
We considered the taxes and this is more reasonable than many of the homes and areas we looked at . We have a very good realtor that has helped us out a great deal in a search for the perfect home for us.

Congrats Scott! Welcome to Liberty. If you need any help learning the area, let me know. That includes fishing Smithville! We'll have to get out this spring.

Well apparently you missed my last post . :rolleyes: They didn't accept our offer , so I guess I'll continue to fight the frickin' traffic where I'm at here in KC .
