2010 Report: Louisville has one of the best housing markets!
Because of its appreciating home prices, affordability rating and a low
number of foreclosures, Louisville ranks second just behind Pittsburgh
as the top housing market in the United States according to Forbes
Magazine online.
The ranking is computed by taking into account the averages of various
affordability rates, median home prices, sales prices in major markets
and where home prices are expected to rise. According to the Forbes.com
article "Nationally, homes are near the most affordable they've been in
18 years."
In Louisville, the foreclosure rate is only 1.15%, which helped us get
our ranking as one of the best housing markets. In our city we have not
seen a dramatic market collapse as many major cities have, the home
prices have kept pretty steady.
Since Louisville is looking strong on the housing market from, there
should be no fear in those who wish to upgrade their homes or those who
are wanting to move into the area. With our steady market, people are
still buying and homes are still selling.
There are many resources in Louisville to help you find your perfect
home and to help you find the best agent to work for you. The Heidi Fore
Team at Keller Williams Realty is always available to help you sell your
home or buy your next one! Don't let the housing market scare you-
Louisville is still growing!

Military and Civilian
Worker Relocation
The federal Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) initiatives of 2005
will have a major positive impact on our region. Fort Knox expects a
net gain of at least 4,500 military and civilian jobs when the
expansion is complete in September 2011. Fort Knox will become home
to the U.S. Army Human Resources Center of Excellence, which manages
all human resources functions for the US Army. Below are some of the
most helpful links to getting settle into your new home if you are
coming to Kentucky as part of BRAC.
Heidi loves working with military families looking for off-base
housing. She has a long, long list of happy clients who have moved
to Kentucky from Texas, California, Illinois, Tennessee, Virginia,
Utah, New York, Pennsylvania, London, Japan and Sweden. Talk to one
of Heidi's many past clients about Heidi's style. They'll tell you
Heidi is straightforward, honest, and hard working. Her clients will
tell you that they felt she really cared about them, and finding
them the right home. She grew up in Louisville and she knows
Kentucky towns. Call Heidi. You'll be glad you did. Her cell phone
is 502-777-3578.
Below are some of the most helpful links to getting settle into your
new home if you are coming to Kentucky as part of BRAC initiative.

Welcome to Kentucky! We appreciate your

Find homes in
other cities - If you need to
find real estate agents in other cities I can also help you find a

IN , Elizabethtown and Ft. Knox Ky , Bardstown Ky, Indianapolis In ,
Nashville Tn , Bowling Green Ky , Lexington Ky, Glasgow Ky ,

States because I speak German and Italian. Keller Williams Louisville is an international
relocation company and I can help you buy a house, haus, or villa

Radio Stations If you are moving
to Louisville, you need to know where to find the
best tunes:
- 102.3 FM the Max - music from 90's and
current pop hits. I love this morning show, Lambert and Lindsey
- 99.7 DJX plays top forty and little
more R&B style, just a tad rougher than 102.3. This is any teenage
girl's favorite station
- 103.1 Oldies. This is where you'll
find 50's and 60's music.
- 93.1 smooth jazz
- 96.1 NPR National Public Radio
- 88.5 Christian radio station
- 106.9 Lite music. Not elevator music.
Think Michael Bolton.
- 97.5 WAMZ the oldest established
country music station that anyone around here can remember. All
country from all decades all the time.
- 840 AM. This is great for local news
and school closings in the winter.

Westport Rd. Of course there is always Michaels, Ben Franklin and
Dees Crafts for scrapbook supplies too. I've heard there is a
scrapbook store in Corydon Indiana that is huge.
