\"Louisville<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Kiplinger, Forbes, and other financial publications understand that the general public doesn’t care about the minutiae of high finance. So instead of reaching and connecting with the “every man” they create lists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, we see Kiplinger ranking Cities Where Home Prices Have Held Up Best<\/a>. It’s a fairly easy calculation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

\n

We chose each region\u2019s top performer in 2009, based on the percentage change in the median home price.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

So, who do you think won the prestigious East South Central region? Well, this is the Louisville<\/em> Homes Blog, right? Here’s their bio on our fair city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Louisville, KY<\/strong>
Percent change in 2009: -1.1%
Metro population: 1,258,577
Median home price: $146,061
Median income: $61,500
Affordability index: 2.4
Unemployment rate: 12.1%
Rate of foreclosure: 1\/32 households<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Think of Louisville, and bluegrass, bourbon and horses probably come to mind. But the city\u2019s top 15 publicly traded companies run the gamut, from a manufacturer of dry cargo and tank barges to Yum Brands. Health care is big, reflected in a downtown medical research campus and the headquarters of Humana, a major health insurer. UPS operates a global air-freight hub out of this city in the East South Central region.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

I think that settles it. Louisville is one of the best housing markets<\/a> in the nation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
