Walk in the front door and we think you’ll be impressed. From the open living room to the dining room and into the kitchen this home has been completely updated. Speaking of the kitchen, inside you’ll find hardwood floors ceramic tile countertops, there’s a center island as well. The bathrooms have been updated, the back den cozy with a gas burning stone fireplace and built-in book shelves. All the paint colors and flooring throughout the home are neutral. The 1st floor master bedroom has a recently added room length closet with mirrored doors. Upstairs the bedrooms are nice size, in fact one is big enough to be used as both a den and office. The basement is not finished but there’s plenty of room for anything you want to build. We’ve saved the best for last, the back yard. Private, professionally landscaped, a fenced yard, large well maintained deck, patio with paver walkways, gardens and large trees with plenty of shade. This one is really worth visiting.

Good credit, a down payment and patience all needed as of June 1, 2008 to buy a home in the Louisville Kentucky area.
Author: Bob | May 14, 2008
Blame it on the number of short sales in Kentucky! The Mortgage Guaranty Insurance Corporation (MGIC) has just announced that as of June 1, 2008 the entire state of KY will become a restricted market. What does this mean to you as a buyer? You can no longer take advantage of a 3% down payment loan with Lender Paid Mortgage Insurance.
According to the MGIX website “In determining whether to place a market on the restricted markets list, MGIC uses both external and internal information sources including OFHEO Home Price Indices, National Association of Realtors change in median home prices, Moody’s Economy.com home price projections and MGIC’s own proprietary business mix and performance data.”
According to local lenders, more than likely there will be additional loan programs that KY will not be able to utilize. Jefferson County has seen a recent spike in short sales causing the MI companies to become very cautious.

Buyers Talk About Working With The Medley Sokoler Team from Louisville Homes on Vimeo.
A lot of Louisville Realtors, top agents, real estate agents and Real Estate Teams can make claims about selling Louisville homes and how they do it. We’ve done the same thing. But it occurred to us that the most important part of a Real Estate Agents success whether it’s in Louisville KY or the rest of the world is what clients say about the Team or Agent they worked with after the closing. That’s why we put a camera in front of Medley Sokoler clients and asked them to rate us. Click on the picture to hear what the clients said about us. We live, love and breathe real estate, we love working with people and we especially love putting smiles on our client’s faces.

April 2008 Louisville Home sales off 31 % from a year ago, but the news is not all bad.
Author: Bob | May 1, 2008
New numbers from MetroSearch,Inc., the data collecting arm of the Greater Louisville Association of Realtors “GLAR” shows Louisville home sales down for the second month in a row. In April of 2007, 1332 homes sold in the metro Louisville area, one year later that number was down 31% to 921 homes. March 2008 numbers only showed home sales off 20% from March 2007. The Number of days a home sat on the market also lengthened from 85 days in April of 2007 to 90 days in April 2008.
Making it even tougher to sell a home, the number of homes on the market in the Louisville area was up 26% from 7684 in April 2007 to 10448 in April 2008.
The good news is that the average list price of a home was up $2000.00 but even more impressive was the fact that the average sales price was up $3,700.00.
So what’s the problem? Consumer confidence along with buyers thinking prices are still going to fall. But if the last set of numbers is any indication, waiting to buy a home may only cost you money. The average cost of buying a home rose 2.2% in April from a year ago.
If you’re planning to sell a home your house condition will need to be in the top 1/3 of all homes on the market. For tips and tricks to selling a home in this market, call the Medley Sokoler team at (502) 992-4137.
