First Time Home Buyers Seminar

Hey gang! Just wanted to let you know that I will be having a first time home buyers seminar this Saturday the 11th starting at 4:00. It will be held at Rainey Jones and Shaw realtors a block east of the Hurstborne Lane, Shelbyville RD intersection the address is 99000 Shelbyville Rd. I will be going over what to expect in a Real Estate contract and you can learn how to get your first time home buyers tax credit up front. Also everyone who attends will be getting $500 off their closing cost and $50 off their home inspection. Hope to see you all there.

First Time Home Buyers Tax Credit

I have got to be honest, I wasn't a supporter of President Obama during his campaign, but now the guy has won me over and he seems to be getting our Country on the right track. I think he is one of the better speakers I've heard in my lifetime and he seems to be following in the footstep of other Presidents who have inherited a mess. Franklin D Roosevelt turned the Country around by creating government jobs through various projects such as building public structures and paving new roads. Obama is doing something similar but using technology and new energy resources to create the jobs. What I'm most thrilled about is the $8,000 tax credit for first time home buyers. This plan is different from the 2008 recover plan were first time home buyers were issued a tax credit that they had to pay back over 15 years. Which made it really more like a 15 year interest free loan. The new plan is for a tax credit of 10% of the homes purchase price up to $8,000 which you never have to pay back as long as you live in that home for 3 years. I'm really hopping that this will push people who are thinking about buying into action and the market becomes stable again. Lets all hope and pray that President Obama keeps making good decisions like this.

Deal of the week.

This home has a assessed value of $185,000 according to Oldham Co. PVA its going to sell fast and probably going to sell for more than the list price. Its listed now for $108,000 and has 3 beds and 2 baths with 1,555sqft. Its in Lockwood estates in Crestwood where a home has never sold for this amount going all the way back to the mid 1990's. Call for any other details or for a showing. Someone needs to jump on this one fast!

This one is a short sale and has been on the market for 265 days, which tales me it's subject to a low ball offer. Combine that with the fact that it's list price is $50,000 less than what they paid for it just three years ago and this makes for a really good deal!

Craig's List

Just put my listings up on Craig's List and got a contact on a property I've only had one inquiry on since I first listed it. I tried this after a client (Dave Levee) sugested so, and I noticed another client wanted to view multiple homes that she had found on the site. Once I added Craig's List to my the websites I use to promote homes it brings me to about a dozen. So if you can't sell your home by yourself be sure to call me, I have many tools to get your home sold!
