I’ve been very clear<\/a> that our current market isn’t good for every person’s situation. But for some<\/em> people, it’s absolutely a great time to be buying property. If you’re a first-time home buyer, the newly revised tax incentives<\/a> make this a once in a lifetime opportunity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This piece from USAToday, First-time buyers find deals, help perk up house sales<\/a>, talks about great deals that could be found with distressed properties. The author used a couple of examples, one from Atlanta, Georgia and another from Mason City, Iowa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kelly Butler just got a bargain. Sure, her new three-bedroom home came with fake barn wood nailed to the bathroom walls, carpet that had to be ripped up, broken closet doors and a need for plumbing and tile work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No matter. Butler, 27, and her husband, Jim, 28, represent the new face of today’s home buyers: first-timers who are snapping up distressed homes and fixer-uppers that are being sold at bargain prices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Up to 45% of homes being purchased today are in that category, according to an April report by the National Association of Realtors (NAR) \u2014 and that’s a major force driving existing home sales. First-time buyers accounted for more than half of all home sales in March, with activity concentrated in lower price ranges.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

But what about here in Louisville, KY? I’ve been bouncing around a few ideas on how to best highlight any bargain properties I find here in Louisville in my work as a Realtor\u00ae. Starting next week, I plan to start posting a Louisville Home Bargain<\/strong> that will spotlight a property I found that is priced below<\/em> market value. Sound enticing? Stay tuned!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
