1210 Westwood Lane - Walking Tour

by Bob Sokoler

1210 Westwood Lane, New Albany,Indiana First time on the market an exceptional value! Here's a 3-bedroom brick ranch with wood floors in the bedrooms, a walkout basement, with a family room addition off the kitchen that will knock your socks off! From the moment you drive onto the winding driveway you know this house is special. Through the front door into a cozy hallway and to the left one of the largest living rooms we've seen for a home in this price range. The living room has built in bookshelves and gas fireplace. The large formal dining is bright and airy thanks to two enormous windows that let light in. The kitchen has an impressive amount of counter space and cabinets. There is also a pass through into the dining room and another into the family room addition. That family room is amazing with another gas fireplace and windows on all sides. They bring in a tremendous amount of light; it really feels like you sitting outside in the private back yard. There a full bath off the main hall, two other good-sized bedrooms and a master suite that is equally impressive. The added full bath, double closets and make-up area will bring a smile to your face. The back yard is enormous and includes 2 patios, gardens and a place for throwing large parties. There's not much traffic on the dead end street.

By Bob Sokoler It's a mixed bag for Louisville Home Owners! According to a new report from the National Association of Realtors (NAR), nationally homes going under contract for November 2010 increased 3.5% in November. That confirms we’re seeing a gradual recovery that should continue into 2011. Lawrence Yun, NAR chief economist says “If we add 2 million jobs as expected in 2011, and mortgage rates rise only moderately, we should see existing-home sales rise to a higher, sustainable volume. Locally Louisville Home prices are a mixed bag of results. A new Federal Reserve report shows Louisville housing prices have actually notched up .46 percent in many areas. That’s great news when compared to other cities in states like Florida, California and Arizona where housing prices are still falling. Looking back at December 2010, the final Louisville Home Sales numbers are still several days away but the trends (on the surface at least) are disappointing. With several days of closings still unrecorded (because of the extended holiday weekend) Home sales from December 2010 compared to December 2009 were down about 13 percent. That should improve as closing for late Thursday afternoon and Friday are recorded on Monday. The number of Louisville homes sold in 2010 will be just about equal to 2009. Both years were influenced by first time buyer tax credits and move up tax credits. 2011 will be the first year in several without tax credits offered by the government. Additionally all Louisville builders will be sorry to see the state of Kentucky’s new home tax credit expire. According to a new report in the Courier Journal “About 2,400 Kentuckians have been approved to claim $5,000 off their state income tax bill for buying a newly constructed home in the last year and a half”. As for 2011 we think it’s going to be a good year to buy and even sell Louisville Real Estate. Look at our video to see what we’re planning to do for our listings in 2011. We hope you enjoy our blogs we love creating them for you!

Who is Louisville's best builder? by Bob Sokoler

by Bob Sokoler

Who is Ed Devore and why is his company “MD Customs Homes” one of Louisville’s most successful builders? Simple it’s his attention to details, low prices, integrity and willingness to make the customer happy. Let’s face it when it comes to building a home there are a lot of builders out there but only a handful worth using. I can personally tell you that it’s a joy working with Louisville Builders like Rocky & Joe Pusateri of “Elite Homes”, Phillip Hill Homes, Ball Homes and Ed Devore of MD Custom Homes. As a Louisville Realtor who sells more than 100 pieces of Louisville Real Estate, I’ve seen the good and bad in builders. There is only one thing better than seeing the smile on the face of a new home owner, that’s seeing that same smile 5 or 10 years later still proud of the home build by a good Louisville Builder. What I love about Ed Devore and builders like him… they get “it”. By that I mean understanding that when a person makes an investment in a home they want to have confidence that the builder will stand behind their work year after year. Watch our video about Ed Devore and we think you’ll agree that when it comes to building a Louisville Home, Ed is the type of guy you want calling the shots. We hope you enjoy our blogs we love creating them for you!
