Stone Lakes is a well-designed subdivision off Taylorsville Road in Louisville's East End. Still inside the Gene Snyder freeway, this neighborhood has some gorgeous lake views and several walking paths and playgrounds. As Louisville's Homearama site in 2001, you know Stone Lakes has been designed by experts in both home construction and layout. Just down the street from Saratoga Woods, both of these large neighborhoods have done a great job catering to Louisville's mid-tier client base. The oldest homes in Stone Lakes are only 7 years old with many still being built today. This beautiful ranch home is near the beginning of the subdivision.

Ten Broeck is a gem of a community nestled in a very scenic part of Louisville off Highway 22. It's a very small area with only a handful of properties, each one distinctive. Lots are very large and private, providing some of the city's most beautiful settings. There aren't many homes in the entire city with a more beautiful setting than the property you see here in Ten Broeck. This grand brick two-story is situated just perfectly to take advantage of a small creek and slight rise of a hillside.

Hurstbourne is thought to be far bigger than the single subdivision that bears its name. It's a more like a large area that bounds Hurstbourne Parkway that includes housing, shopping and entertainment. Similar to Plainview, that's located nearby, Hurstbourne is a prestigious part of Louisville with a great reputation. A few homes, like this one, are quite large and back up to a beautiful golf course. Hurstbourne Country Club is a private club but in the heart of Louisville's desirable East End.

Louisville is certainly used to being the center of attention during the Derby season. Now, with the proposed Museum Plaza ready to break ground later this year, we're getting some additional recognition from places like the Wall St. Journal.World Architecture News.com is certainly paying attention. Others have even found the theoretical father of our proposed building design.One thing is certain, this project, combined with the new arena project, will dramatically change our downtown skyline for the better. If you want to stay on top of the news on Museum Plaza, head over their extremely well-done site at:http://www.museumplaza.net/Make sure to view the video clips!

Lately, we've all been bombarded with negative news from the media regarding a "down housing market." It's everywhere you look! What we don't hear enough about is the amazing interest rates that are currently at historic lows. These rates should be prompting more investors to consider real estate as part of their overall investment plan.Add to that fact the increased number of foreclosures and other "at risk" properties, investors should be giving real estate a very hard look.If you're lucky enough to live in Louisville (and I welcome my wonderful readers from abroad as well) there's even greater cause for optimism as our interest rates (check our tracker in the sidebar at the right) consistently track lower than the national average.

 Since the Beginning of the year I have yet to have a great success story of the many clients I get houses or refinanced till yesterday. I closed one of the hardest loans I think I have ever done. I had been working with my client for about two months now. I had worked really close with him getting his credit score up from a 493 mid to a 641 as of 3/22/07. Yes you are reading that right. I worked my butt off to get him into his home at the best deal I could get. An FHA 97% Purchase with a private investor giving him the 3% down and seller finally paying the closing cost. Long story short he had 10 different jobs in the last two years, 5 different places he had rented, went thru a divorce and had a death in the family. This guy went thru alot of pain. But I knew I couldn't give up on him...

 The Trees are Blooming, People are getting out of there homes and enjoying the spring like weather. There is one really important thing I love about this time of the year. NEW CLIENTS ARE LOOKING TO BUY OR REFINANCE. I always get really busy about this time a year, more than any other months combined. When it gets warm outside and people can go to parks, grill out or swim, I get the most attention then. I have been doing so much marketing in the fall and winter that its picks up huge. Does anyone else have this success too? Are you doing anything different to attract new business? Thanks for the comments up front and have a great dayBen
