Window is Closing

I know I have said this about 3 or 4 times on either here or twitter or facebook but the tax credit rebate window is closing. I figure you have about 15 more days to get in a contract or else you may miss out. Closing are getting harder and harder to schedule and 30 day closing are hard to do these days. So get out there and get shopping and don't be so darn picky.

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.
