Item 1.01
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement; Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets; Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

On November 30, 2007, Maxus Realty Trust, Inc. (the "Registrant"), through one of its subsidiaries, completed the acquisition of the Regency North Apartments in the transaction described below.

Regency North Associates, L.P., a Missouri limited partnership ("Regency LP") entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Regency North Acquisition, LLC, a Missouri limited liability company ("Regency LLC") on October 23, 2007. Regency LLC is wholly-owned by Maxus Operating Limited Partnership, a Delaware limited partnership ("MOLP"), which in turn is primarily owned by the Registrant. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, Regency LLC is the surviving entity, which effectively results in Regency LLC succeeding to the ownership of the Regency North Apartments, Regency LP's primary asset. The Regency North Apartments complex is located in Kansas City, Missouri and consists of an 180 unit multi-family apartment complex.

David L. Johnson, a significant shareholder, Chairman, President, Chief Executive Officer and Trustee of the Registrant, is the principal beneficial owner and President of KelCor, Inc., the general partner of Regency LP, which has a 5% interest in Regency LP. Mr. Johnson, together with his wife, also jointly owns approximately 85% of Bond Purchase, L.L.C., a 28.2057% limited partner in Regency LP.

John W. Alvey, Treasurer and Principal Financial Officer of the Registrant is an executive officer of KelCor, Inc., the general partner of Regency LP, and a minority   beneficial owner and executive officer of Bond Purchase, L.L.C.

In consideration for the merger, Regency LLC paid approximately $6.3 million, including the assumption of certain of Regency LP’s liabilities and the assumption of a $5,250,000 mortgage loan with an outstanding principal balance of approximately $4,815,000 secured by the Regency North Apartments (the "Mortgage Loan"). The Mortgage Loan, which matures on January 1, 2011, bears interest at a fixed rate of 7.22% and requires monthly payments of approximately $37,700. The Mortgage Loan contemplates a prepayment premium, which would apply in the event Regency LLC prepays the Mortgage Loan more than 180 days prior to maturity (the "Prepayment Premium"). The lender may accelerate the Mortgage Loan (and charge a Prepayment Premium) if Regency LLC defaults under the terms of the mortgage loan documents, which defaults are customary defaults in real estate mortgage loan transactions. In the event of a prepayment on or before 114 months after January 1, 2001, the prepayment premium equals the greater of (i) 1% of the unpaid principal balance or (ii) the principal being prepaid or accelerated, multiplied by the excess (if any) of one-twelfth of 7.22% over one-twelfth of the then-applicable yield rate on the 5.75% U.S. treasury security due August 1, 2010, multiplied by a present value factor more particularly described in the note. After such date, the prepayment premium equals 1% of the unpaid principal balance. .

In addition, the Registrant and MOLP have each executed guaranty agreements guaranteeing certain obligations of Regency LLC under to the Mortgage Loan.

The Registrant anticipates using approximately $515,000 of MOLP's cash to pay the merger consideration and will issue 37,733 operating units of MOLP.  Based upon a $15 per unit value of the MOLP operating units, MOLP operating units have an estimated value equal to $566,000.  In connection with the merger transaction and as part of the merger consideration identified above, Bond Purchase, L.L.C. and other affiliates of the Registrant will receive approximately $55,000 in cash and 36,933 MOLP operating units in connection with the payment of certain liabilities of Regency LP.

The Registrant retained the services of Mainland Valuation Services (the "Appraiser"), an independent third party, to appraise the fair market value of the Regency North Apartments. The consideration paid was based on the Appraiser's appraisal of the Regency North Apartments dated August 24, 2007. Although the Appraiser appraised the market value of the Regency North Apartments, it did not recommend an amount of consideration to be offered in the transaction.
