I think the only community on the MO side that really fits what we are looking for would be Parkville. I grew up north of the river and my folks still live up there. Unfortunately, there goes the nice commute.
Leawood suckssssssss and I'd be concerned with buying in PV.

If my wife and I were in that situation, my wife and I would probably choose one job to live by. The one with the short commute would do more house work and the longer commute would get more choice on house features. I'd take a longer commute to make my wife do all the yardwork tbh

This is a great conversation to have as we are about a year out from buying. I grew up making fun of Leawood folk, and JoCo in general. Then I moved out of KC for 20 years and just moved back, so I don’t really know a lot about KC anymore, and particularly not from an adult perspective. So why the concerns about PV and Leawood? Is it just a taxes thing?

School district is one of our biggest factors and based on balancing our wants/needs with school quality, it sounds like we want to be in the Shawnee Mission East school district. It’s the only highly rated district on the KS side that is not a Blue Valley school and south of 435. So that is a motivating factor for PV/north Leawood.

All was right with the world. A year later, I get my assessment from the county appriaser. My property value was going up by $42,000. I'm immediately like WTF?!?!? Turns out my home was appraised in January of the year I bought it as a 2 bedroom home with an unfinished basement. Between that time and the time I purchased it, the seller finished the basement. This was not divulged to me at the time of purchase. Being a first time home owner, I didn't understand what this meant. Then a couple months later, boy did I ever find out. Pennymac basically let me know that my mortgage was going up like $250/month. I was allowed to pay some up front to lower the payment throughout the year, but with a single income, things were pretty tight this year. I contacted my loan lady to plead my case and she basically said, "yeah, that happens." So **** her, she's never getting my business again. I've been trying to look into ways to get it lowered back to where it was, but I'm not having any luck. Mainly because I don't know where to begin. If anybody has any tips or pointers, I'd be very appreciative. (I contacted the appraiser and they told me that my value was raised to match others in the area with finished basements)
This is really common honestly at least around here. Shit, even happened to my dad back in the 80s. He did get them to reduce it by calling them up and saying that if they thought it was worth that much he'd sell it to them right now. Didn't reduce it by much, I think they just wanted to shut him up. He's a guy that was on a first name basis with the Senators, etc. in the state.

I have polished a lot of turds, the ones you think are the worst end up being the nicest.

How did you find the short sale?

Sellers market everywhere. Homes here are selling minutes after listing. Some for above asking price. Especially in MPLS. Who the F knows why in MPLS??

In the burbs-same thing. Homes move fast. A neighbor whose house is 2.5 years old sold it in a few days. Thinking it went for 30k more than what it was built for. Picked the move out date.

Money is cheap. 3.8% is basically free.

Good luck.

Those things make it a sellers market, not a buyers market.

My wife and I were trying to get into a neighborhood and were never successful due to having contingency.
We said eff it and built a house in the neighborhood... one of the best decisions we've ever made.

Absolutely love my house.

Have you tried houses around Tonganoxie or Bonner Springs? Some of those Bonner Springs addresses are in Leavenworth County and the school district is Basehor-Linwood.

Tongie was all either methlab tier houses or 300k+. We haven't really looked in Bonner either.
