Lawrence home sales will continue to strengthen in the coming year. So says the 2013 Kansas Housing Markets Forecast published by the Wichita State University Center for Real Estate.

“Although sales in the Lawrence area fell sharply in 2011 following the expiration of the tax credit, they have rebounded nicely this year and are on pace to rise by more than 13 percent in 2012,” said Stan Longhofer, director of the WSU Center for Real Estate. “Sales should be even stronger next year, rising by nearly 16 percent.”
