You found the right place.
A common question is which Kansas City are we talking about? There are two separate and distinct places with the name Kansas City: Kansas City, Kansas and Kansas City, Missouri. They are adjacent to each other. If you are just visiting the difference won't be too obvious. There is one major paper, the Kansas City Star, and most folks refer to the metro area simply as Kansas City.
Major parts of town you will want to know include Johnson County, the Northland and Jackson County East. If you hear a local talk about the "Northland" that means North of the River. "Out South" means generally Johnson County and how far "Out South" in Johnson County depends on how long you have lived in Kansas City or Johnson County.

The trend is picking up as far as sales volume. Credit is getting slighly easier to obtain although it will not return, at least anytime soon, to the easy credit access of 2003-2005. Those days are long gone.
Buyers are very interested in the $8,000 tax credit which is spurring interest in the market.
In General, interest rates are at or near generational lows, assuming you have good credit. Now is a great time to buy, while activity is starting up and there is time to get your low low low interest rate locked in.
