And waiting. And waiting … The unsold houses on North Second Street, along with two more new houses around the corner on McCartney Lane, reflect the challenge southeast Kansas faces even as demand for housing skyrockets in the region – and, indeed, just about everywhere in the Sunflower State. Despite multiple incentives in place to bring down the price of the homes, folks in the area are unable – or unwilling – to buy them.
