People who can afford them, can afford to live somewhere other than Kansas City.
@Donovan Aaron Big yikes
Lol yup... I was forced to live in Wichita KS for 5 years. It was my first and only duty location. I left that state and the Air Force as soon as I could. That state is terrible to live in for a single guy.
Patrick Jones boring as hell, flyover country
Patrick Jones First fury station was FT Riley. KS is an extremely boring and racist state, and stricken by weather from hell itself. Coming from Miami I couldn’t do it. Got out the service after that.
@@TheFlyingZulu Wichita is in a different state than Kansas City
Okay but why did so many of us see this 3yrs later
Because we didn’t know at the time that we should have been searching for “Houses I can’t afford in places I don’t want to live”? 😄
dead ass im not sure why this just now showed up in my suggested
Same lol
Great question
Brian Smith it’s another round of why is this in my recommendations
Seems like the problem isn't the house.., the problem is it's in Kansas City.
vh2 tornado alley.
Murders daily
the problem is its in missouri
That's because no one can afford them anymore! People are putting their money into more important things..like food, and survival.
No the minority living there cant afford it 2 million isn't alot considering it's on 5 acres I'm from nyc 2 million in New York u may get the house but it won't be 5 acres not even the whole block you'll own your backyard 😂😂😂 my family bought a town house that was barely 700 sq they paid 500 thousand for it and this was in 2006 unfinished basement and backyard you guys get luxury in Missouri compared to us you cant even get a basic house in ny for 189,0000 that's like owning a studio or one bedroom condo...my husband alone makes 100,000 a year were renters... not buyers we were looking for an apt in ny our budget was 1850 a studio in ny starts at 1700 we ended up going to the next state over in jersey...jersey city 2 bedrooms 2 bath for 1150 way under budget ....being a new yorker and visiting and lived in other states the cost of living is so much cheaper even if you take a pay cut I work travel merchandising I've passed through Missouri was there a couple of hours down town st louis its beautiful you guys have amazing brick architecture.❤
Trying to get California prices, but Kansas City isn't California
NEGUS MBARKA it’s Missouri. Not Kansas. It really is worth the money, you have no idea what your talking about
3 mill in SF would barely get a loft. So, in KC, mansions can peak near that mark.
Julian Klatte the house in leawood is in Kansas
Kansas City prices should match California City prices lol
That is far from a 3.3 million dollar California home.
What the hell is pseudo-contemporary?!
Semi-contemporary
fake/faux contemporary.
Realty-speak for "Tacky," apparently.
I was thinking the same why is the relator using that word if she wants to sell it.
Jonghurn Kim I didn’t particularly like it, but that description kill the sale.
the first house would be like a dream for me. I love the historic charm
Imagine spending 3 million on a house in Kansas lmao.
@D. F. also in Kansas
Ironically, Kansas actually has the 3rd most affluent neighborhood in the US (Mission Hills, KS), according to Forbes magazine. There are houses in Mission Hills that would make your jaw drop. The largest house in Mission Hills, KS, is the Russell Stover Mansion. (Yes, Russell Stover Candy). Long story short: Stover fell in love with an English manor house about 100 yrs ago. He had an exact replica of it built in Kansas. It looks like fucking Downtown Abbey. It was for sale for $60 million. (One the East or West coasts it would be worth +$130 million).
@@russbear31 $60 Million? Please. Utter nonsense. The home is worth about $4 Million, if that. And, no, it is not the largest home in Mission Hills, although it is one of the largest, at 14,839 square feet. For instance, the home at 6544 Wenonga Cir. is larger, at 17600 square feet. And, once again, no, the Stover family didn't even design the home and weren't the original owners. So, other than Mission Hills being very affluent and a beautiful suburb of Kansas City, nothing you said is true. By the way, homes in Mission Hills can range in price from around $600,000 to $4 Million.
it takes a special person
Yep...people that have money to buy that can just buy a private jet, and fly over Kansas on the way to a better destination.
2019 - still for sale.
110 years old, last update was 1952.
$3 million lol ok
2020 still for sale
Wealth gap. Only the 1% can afford the price tag, taxes and maintenance. Guess what? The 1% do not want to live in Kansas City.
When you live next to the 1% and don't have a fucking clue.
Would take the first house if I could afford it new homes are built with junk material. The new homes will be long gone and that house built in 1901 will still be there
Very true. I had a friend buy a newly built home for $500,000. It was starting to fall apart in less than 4 years. Water leak from bad plumbing. Drywall was garbage. Paint peeling. Roof went bad and he put a metal roof on. Siding blew off. Sidewalk and driveway cracked and broke up. You could really feel the cheesy craftsmanship when the wind blew hard. Really felt like the house would fall down any moment. I wouldnt have bought that house for $10,000. I felt really bad for him. He sued either the builder or seller....not sure which....but he won and got most of his money back and they sold the to someone else. Not sure how much it went for. Its a real shame. Older homes were built solid.
@@roscoeelcocko1863 Was your friend's house built by D.R. Horton aka D.R. Horrible? HOLY. SHIT! Lowest bid, stack'em high sell'em cheap, thrown up in a week, inspected by Helen Keller trash!
@@dergluckliche4973 hellen keller inspection LMAOOO
With Kansas City new tax laws if you buy a million dollar house you will need a million dollars for tax every year to keep it. People are protesting every day. About the taxes in kc
@D. F. people in KC have been overtaxed for years with no results in certain community's pothole streets deserted crumbling housing I live here I know
Dane Piper the most effective protest is with your feet.
people cant afford to heat houses like that anymore.
also. why did this news story need to be reported? "Expensive homes are harder to sell" Wow. breaking news. People need to know.
The real estate company / seller paid the news company. It's called marketing.
It should be Airbnb'ed by the night.
I'm from Kansas City beautiful homes
Neither house is up to my standards. I'll pass
lol good one
Candyslim501 lmfao
lmao They are awful! The 'castle' is an outdated ancient dusty dreadful dog turd. Looks like an old courtroom building up for demolition. I can taste the black mold! House 2 straight out of the 90s whats with all the beige and CRINGE worthy brass detailing? lol the spa room looks cluttered and the wine room is a cold basement with chairs. Nice try granny!
I used to live right down the street from that first house.. walked past it almost every day
I’m trying to sell a house for 17K in Kansas City and it’s been like 5 months lol
Id prefer an older home like the first over a modern home any day.
Right up until you get your utility bills.
And until you’re visited by the demon of the awful people that lived there in the past
Just think of all the 100-year-old human and pet dander collected on the ceiling. Nobody cleans up there. Specs of it will fall into your food each time you prepare it and right before eating. Yuck!
Ancalagon Ullr cloth insulated wiring,clay sewer lines,plaster/lath walls,low R insulation,single pane windows,galvanized plumbing,asbestos and historical requirements by the city for any upgrades necessary. I hope you have skills and allot of capital.
@@Newlinjim it has its appeal because I'm a carpenter. Lacking the capital lol
One of the problems with old historic homes is the owner is limited in modifying or altering the home.
Seating for 40 in the wine cellar? For the well-heeled alcoholic who wants to sit in the basement and drink....
I was ready to buy, until they said the wine was not included.
Oh well.
At least they’re not Detroit
The historic Roanoke house is cool. The Leawood house is lame as hell.
There’s condos that go for that amount here in dc.
That wine cellar looked like a dungeon. woof. hire an interior decorator
Was this news or a real estate commercial?
The latter
Juan Garcia she tryna get paid!
😂
Lmao
any home will be a tuff sell when potential buyer asks , how much are the JACKSON COUNTY property taxes
Sorry, not enough millionaires to go around.
Rodney Moore in another 10yrs they’ll be trying to sell the $500,000. McMansions and wondering where all the buyers have gone.
Yeah if the millionaires wouldn't mind sharing the cash, I'll ease their woes and buy an expensive house lol
LMAO pursuito contemporary is that a nice way of saying that the look of the house is very dated which it totally is..
It's pseudo-contemporary. Rugby can be hard on the brain.
Someone in my grades family purchased the house and they thoroughly enjoy living there
I’m from so cal and these stories make me laugh
So I am wondering of the true history about the first home. The one I believe to be the Sarah Recktor Estate? Please correct me if I am wrong? Is this the same home in the fire? in 2017?
That second house looks boring and ugly.
I like the old house. Fugget about the wine cellar house. Tacky comes to mind.
I don’t understand, all those rooms and crazy bc not one family will use the space...and could you imagine the utility bills and taxes. Just outrageous
LOL, Checking the crime in the old ghetto and this pops up. I remember a fountain/pool behind the Roanoke Community Ctr. from that era, abandoned. I wonder if this was part of the estate?
Nice luxurious homes.
Shits probably haunted.
😂😂😂yup
Beautiful homes right n the projects.. love my city.
Go mahomes
Kansas- Hell enough said. Hell in Westchester NY that would not even be considered super expensive.
Nice typo 1:28
I live in Roanoke a couple houses down from that house. It’s a beautiful neighborhood.
It’s low key ugly on the in side
I'll dream of that real estate agent... she was wonderful.
Lol I thought it was part of umkc campus when I saw the thumbnail
Beautiful!
But who would want to live in Kansas City if you have millions to spend.
BEAUTIFUL 😍❤️
Now imagine if a millionaire bought it then demolished it to build a glass house......🤤......😂..... ( the first house)
I am poor and if I was rich i would not buy that house from 1901 it looks spooky.
was is the news selling houses...maybe the news directors house
Maybe if they'd INCREASE TO A LIVING WAGE WE MAY BE ABLE TO SELL THEM!
Zoey Rochelle Zhombie what
vote for BerniZuela
OMG I’M NEIGHBORS WITH THAT HOUSE
3 million for that!... I’ve seen homes in vegas, Cali and Florida that are cheaper and much more luxurious than that. Neighborhood looks boring asf!
who wants to live in KC yikes
Y'all need to take a look at the HUGE mansion for sell in raymore!! It's over 6000sqft on 26 acers
Make it an historic landmark? The city would probably have to help upkeep.
Not much of a report if I may say so. Why aren't the luxury homes if lesser ones go that fast, indicating it's a desirable locale?
Looks old. People dont want to live in museums.
If I had the money I would buy it
Johnson County overshadows everything
Tony Flores no like, most people at the airport and chiefs games are from Johnson County, like the Kansas side is outgrowing the Missouri side
Ew
From the way it was presented you would think that price alone is the reason. I had read the comments to get it. The report just not well done. It might as well be about any expensive homes in any city.
Wait, why is it so chilly in the wine cellar?
Am I trippin or is the first house in my neighborhood
3.3 to live in KC??? LOOK at what 3.3 can get you in the Hollywood Hills!!!!
You have to wonder what kind of jobs and economy a town or city has for regular working people to afford a 200k house. This is absolutely ridiculous to price a home at 2, 300k when half the city is earning minimum wage.
The only person buying that to keep it as it is will be someone buying it to turn it into a museum.
If you’re in the market for a home in the millions with some acreage this is a freaking steal wow!!! Especially if you modernized the appliances just an incredible space. Ugh I wish I could drop that much on a home!!!!
Uh I can see why they’re having trouble selling...asking way too much
Times is too hard.
In Toronto we get a shed for 2 million
Both homes are in desperate need of a full gut job and remodel. Maybe a tornado would help the process
Nice
If all that timber were removed for wood such as HEMP & the lead as well as asbestos apparently...............that asking price would be nice.
_psuedo contemporary_
Those houses are horrendously designed in their interior. That could be a big reason why they suck to sell.
239.8 miles, too close for me .
You know you’re city/state sucks when your nicest house is only 2ML
what's so bad about an area with a lower cost of living? places like San Francisco has become off limits for everybody except the top 1%.
Dylan Martino righhht
None of these would suite my taste has to have oil stains on the driveway a couple cars jacked up off to the side on the lawn with car parts laying around them like they are going to get fixed eventually one day.
Lol. They deleted my earlier comment about how the air quality in Kansas City is so poor. And it’s very bad indeed.
So is the crime.
I thought the water and weather was nice in kc
I bet it would sell if they included the wine.
That’s a little too much house for my taste really.
We went and check the house worth of 600,000$ it’s brand new. I loved everything about it. It is close to golf course and lake. But sadly. Can’t afford it. I had a hard time sleeping because I kept thinking about the house. Hopefully in 5-10 years. I Would be able to buy the house I like. 😊
You wrote this 2 years ago. I bet that $600,000 house is close to a million now, even in Kansas City and your income hasn't gone up much at all. But I could be wrong. :)
There's so many other beautiful homes in that are more livable and more modern. it could be made a historical site.
I'd live there over NYC or San Francisco anyday of the week.
I live about 50 minutes from San Francisco depending on traffic and it has become a disgusting mess. Homeless go to the bathroom right on the streets. Also used needles from drug users are left on sidewalks, streets and just all over the place. The homeless situation is so bad and the city in many parts smells. It used to be such a nice place to visit but I never go there anymore. Sacramento is bad enough with all its crime.
I live in los angeles. Buses go everywhere. Stores and nice places to go outside.
Do they still have crazy little women there?
Dubill got sum knockers on her
That wine cellar in the 2nd house looks like a theme restaurant. Who is going to entertain in there? I mean I'm 48, but that looks like something my grandparents would enjoy....but they're dead so.....
3 million dollars for a house. What the actual fuck is wrong with society
Even if I had the money I still wouldn't buy it.
What about the un-sellable DEFFENBAUGH POOP MANSION. the trash king of kc was dropped after surgery by shawnee mission hospital. He later died & no one will buy that beautiful $6 million poop mansion. Mr. DEFENBAUGH was soo obsessed w his trash empire, he built this mansion overlooking his landfills. STINKS! this story is fascinating. The poop mansion is freaking awesome looking
Ooo it’s beautiful I love vintages homes. Probably hunted & full of Easter eggs.
Who wants to live in Kansas?
Dorothy.
you can buy very large house less than million dollars. most of rich like to live big big city or near skyscraper city. They don't like remote area because it's boring, gloomy. tough to sell, lonely, hard to make lots of good friends. Bigger Cities is very expensive to live. I know...
"Pseudo contemporary"
Wow would at least $10-20 million in California
what makes them so hard to sell.............................$$$$$$$$$$$
The houses look... Eh
this guy sounds like al pacino
