Affordable Lake Home

I want a lake home so bad I can't stand it, but its really not the right time for me to be running out and buying a second home so I thought I would post this for someone who can afford it. Looks like a solid little house across the street from the lake but with access to a Lake and possibly a dock with COE approval. Call for details.

Good read from the Wall Street Journal

Bardstown Road Area Condo $62,500

I have a renovated condo listed on Gardiner Lane just off Bardstown Rd listed for $62,500. The kitchen has been gutted and totally refinished with brand new cabinets and stainless steal appliances. Its on the ground floor extremely close to the pool. Its a must see!

July Sales up 25%!

Home sales in Louisville for July were up 25% compared to last years records. Of course it would have to turn around right the month I get married. I was so swamped with work and trying to get everything in line for the wedding just made me sooo stressed. But whose to complain things might be back to normal soon. I wouldn't be surprised if we had record months for the rest of the year too. If your on the fence thinking to buy remember the tax credit ends November 31st... you need to hustle.

Last Chance for First Time Home Buyers Tax

Time is literally running out on the first time home buyers tax credit. You MUST close by November 31st in order to receive the $8,000. Now that banks are being so hard on under writers and appraisers deals are taking much longer than they should to close. Last year you could easily close a deal in two weeks now its taking at least a month. So if your not under contract in the next two weeks you could risk not closing in time and missing the dead line to receive the tax credit.

Quadruple Stacked!

Sorry its been so long since the last time I posted a blog, but I have been extremely busy with getting ready for my wedding. It seems like every time I leave town business just goes crazy and I am covered up with work. But its nothing I cant handle and looks like everything is going to pan out.

There is one particular deal that lots of people are counting on, it closes 3 days after I get back from my honeymoon and its stacked 4 high. In the Real Estate world that means that its one of four closing taking place that day. I helped my clients sell their house and with the money from the closing they are buying another house in Saint Mathews (good choice on their parts). The people who owned the home in Saint Mathews are buying another house with the proceeds from that sell. Not to mention those people are also buying a house with their proceeds. Its a good thing my clients choose me to work all this out for them. Can you imagine what it would be like if they didn't have an agent! Crazy!
