Joseph Hamer Realtor with ReeceNichols

Say what you want about flipping, but I actually like to see that the right renovations make a significant impact to your equity in a neighborhood. That means you can likely do the updates you want to your home and recapture that forced equity later! Harrison Park has a story this year highlighting the impact of a successful remodel. Don't go knocking down walls for fun though!! You can be upside and over budget pretty easily.

The signs in our community that say "Improve Learning First" are absolutely ridiculous. Our students don't need to earn a working HVAC or a maintained building. That's our responsibility as a community. HOWEVER, I do believe there is a very large and very difficult conversation to have surrounding the policies that protect our learning environments and our children. The district would be foolish to let the bond vote overshadow what matters even more. I'm voting yes. And in the full video that you can watch at Rooted In Wichita on YouTube, you'll learn why. But you'll also learn what I believe is the real reason behind the Exodus of USD259. And no... It's not HVAC issues or the school staff. The video is worth the watch and I hope you feel more educated going into the polls November 3.

Did you know W.B Harrison Park is the only public fishing pond in southeast Wichita? It's a one-acre pond built in 1993. William Benson Harrison actually donated the land to the city back in 1957!

I really enjoyed breaking down Harrison Park and Cottonwood Village in this video. I love data and these numbers told a very interesting story! Both neighborhoods are fantastic east side options within that 200-300k range. You should watch the full video on my YouTube channel at "Rooted In Wichita" to learn more!

This week, I broke down two great neighborhoods on the east side of Wichita that encompass our average sales price. In fact, the stats were almost identical with the exception of days on market. One of the neighborhoods is selling five times faster than the other! But, that doesn't necessarily mean it's the one thats best for your family. Check out the full video on my YouTube channel at Rooted in Wichita to see my full comparison of Cottonwood Village and Harrison Park.

Five bedrooms, four bathrooms, a gunite pool, and a beautifully remodeled kitchen in my favorite east side location! This is the kind of home that makes people call their lender and get pre-approved again.

Check out this Douglass home with a beautifully updated kitchen, room for hobbies in the oversized garage, a covered patio out back, plus schools, parks, and local favorites all within walking distance!

When we get traveling professionals in our medium term rentals, they sometimes ask if they'll need to rent a car. The answer in Wichita will probably always be a yes. We are a car-dependent city. It's Kansas... We have the land to spread out. Thankfully, we also have the infrastructure in place that keeps most of our commutes consistent. Generally, the only back ups and delays you see are from west siders driving into the sun on the way to work and getting in a wreck.
