winter is a good time to find houses for sale in Southern Indiana, Northern Kentucky, and Louisville Kentucky

I was talking with a home buyer today about why winter is a good time to find houses for sale in Southern Indiana, Northern Kentucky, and Louisville Ky real estate markets. And I thought I'd share those reasons with you today. The biggest reason to shop for a home for sale in Louisville or across the river in Southern Indiana or up the road in Northern Kentucky is the lack of competition from other home buyers. In Louisville Kentucky, about half as many houses sold in the winter months compared to the number of homes sold in the summer months on average over the past five years. In a typical real estate market year, about 1200 houses sell in the summer months, and 600 houses sell in the winter months in Louisville. The market is similar for Southern Indiana and northern Kentucky real estate. Why is that important? Because with less buyers looking for houses, it is less likely that you will be in a competing bid, mutliple offer situation when it's time to write an offer on the house you want to buy. Another reason to look at houses for sale in the winter months is that the selection is better. You have more houses to choose from. The percentage of inventory that sells every month works to your advantage. And the third reason to look at homes for sale in northern Kentucky in the winter is you can get a good gauge of heat differences in the basement and second floor of a house this time of year. You can tell if a second floor bedroom over the garage will be too cold to sleep in, or if a basement is too cold for a play room. Those are three good reasons to go house shopping this weekend. Call a realtor to set up your list of houses to see. Call 502-554-9400 and ask a River Valley Realty Group agent to help you find a new house for the new year. http://www.rivervalleygroup.com/

Advice to sell your house faster (1) Stage furniture (2) Update paint, carpet, lights (3) lights on, music on, cookies out

No matter if you have an older house in Fort Thomas Ky or a new house in Floyds Knobs IN, call a staging professional to decide how the furniture should be arranged, and which items to store and which items to leave out. Rooms look bigger with less on the walls, and they look bigger when there is less stuff on the floor. Houses show better with the blinds open to let in more light. If possible, turn on all the lights before each showing and have light jazz music playing. If you are able, try to have the house smelling like baked goods. Keep checking back on this page for more tips on how to sell your home in the Southern Indiana, and Northern Kentucky and Louisville Real Estate market. – Heidi Fore, Keller Williams Realty Louisville East 5025549500

Louisville has good health care and good hospitals

If you are considering moving to Louisville, you will be impressed with the doctors and hospitals here. Unfortunately I've been in almost all of them in the past 3 years and got to know them well. The doctors and nurses are knowledgeable and sweet and kind. Read my reviews of other things about Louisville on http://www.heidiamshoff.com
