Our Partnership with You • In 2008, the WSU Center for real estate entered into a partnership with the Kansas Association of Realtors® and most of your local Realtor® or MLS boards to help provide comprehensive statistics and analysis of MLS data across the state
2007-2010: Ripple Effects • The end of the subprime era (including piggyback loans) • Layoffs and job market turmoil • An explosion of foreclosure activity • Record low mortgage rates (for those who can qualify) • Homebuyer tax credits (times two)
What Can We Expect for 2011? • 2010 was a tumultuous year • Hard to tell the current in the market with all the ripples • How fast markets recover depends in large part on the rest of the economy
