If you’re “old” like me, you might recall the phrase: “a stitch in time saves nine<\/a>.” Or a more contemporary, “You can pay me now, or pay me later” from a Fram oil filter commercial. My point is doing your homework<\/strong> upfront saves both time and money. It’s the smart thing to do and in real estate, it’s essential if you want to make a smart buy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just because the housing market has taken a dip here in Louisville, doesn’t mean that every property’s asking price is a good deal. Sure there are bargains to be found, but doing the research is the key to determining which homes are amazing deals and which are priced at market value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Louisville Isn’t Las Vegas<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

First, buyers need to understand that Louisville doesn’t have the large cycles of places like Florida, California, or the gambling capital of Nevada. So when our prices dipped in 2008<\/a>, it wasn’t a large drop like we saw in those cities, but rather a very modest drop of -2.7%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Local expert, John Cosby, agrees:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

“The market in Louisville has not been that bad, so to recover, it doesn’t have to come that far and I think in the next three years, you’re going to see real estate values go way up,” said Cosby.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

A great deal of information is readily available, for free, on the Internet. But consider the source. Some information is slanted to paint a particular picture and ultimately get you to pay a subscription fee. A good number of free foreclosure lists are merely that, ploys. Because foreclosures are a hot topic<\/strong> in the media, scam artists play on that and catch a good number of unsuspecting victims.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the end of the day, it’s best to get your information from an expert. A Realtor\u00ae has both access to the data, as well as, the Code of Ethics<\/a> to utilize it in an appropriate manner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you truly want to find a great deal in Louisville real estate, I recommend that you speak with a Realtor\u00ae today. Then you’ll be in the best position to take advantage of this market before prices return to normal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
