Kansas City Markets Tighten Up

KANSAS CITY—The most robust real estate markets in the US are generally spread through the Southern states, the West, and coastal areas. But even cities in the nation’s center began to show signs of strength in 2013, and experts say 2014 holds even more promise.

“The Kansas City commercial real estate market probably mirrors many Midwestern cities as it continues to rebound from the lows of 2009 and 2010,” Michael Mayer, the managing principal of Cassidy Turley in Kansas City, tells GlobeSt.com. The firm just published its annual market report for the metropolitan area. “Things have tightened up and there was some very solid absorption, especially in the industrial market.”
