WAVE3 News Interviews Tre Pryor Regarding Low Housing Inventory in Louisville

I’ve been fortunate enough to be asked to appear on Wave3 news five times now. As a local expert, it’s been my pleasure to share what I’ve learned. This most recent interview appeared on March 17th and covered the current low levels of housing inventory in Louisville, Kentucky. The title of the piece: Looking for a new home? Good luck. Inventory is way down because of COVID-19.

Housing inventory in Louisville is currently at historic lows. This makes it an extreme seller’s market. Buyers today will have a very difficult time purchasing a new home.

If anyone would like a more specific answer to your particular real estate needs, please contact me anytime.

It’s also interesting to note that Melissa Bottom, who, along with her husband, was also interviewed in this piece. They are my clients whom I’m helping purchase a new home that’s currently being built.

Recommending her to David for this piece gave it a more personal touch that really brings home the current difficulties buyers are facing due to the low housing inventory in Louisville.

Home improvement in the past two years has been skyrocketing! Newbies are joining the ranks of DIYers by the droves. It’s satisfying to tackle simple projects that require a long weekend to finish.

Sadly, though, one major misconception that continues to fester among both newbies and seasoned veterans alike is the idea that kitchen renovations are inherently expensive. While these certainly incur more expenses than your typical weekend DIY, it’s not impossible to cut down your kitchen renovation budget with a few tweaks to your perspective.
