Raising interest rates is one way the Federal Reserve will try to stave off inflation if it begins to … (4 comments)

louisville homes for sale: Brownsboro Farm – A Louisville Neighborhood You'll Want to Call Home
- 10/10/10 09:10 AM
When you think of "neighborhood" in Louisville, what comes to mind? For some, it's an area located around a central point, such as Old Louisville. For others, it's the specific subdivision in which they live. Some consider St. Matthews to be a neighborhood; others think of Fern Creek. Since all of Jefferson County was incorporated into Louisville seven years ago, the whole idea of neighborhoods has taken on a variety of new meanings. If you're considering moving to a new neighborhood within Louisville, or if you're thinking of moving to Louisville from somewhere else, take a look at Brownsboro Farm. Categorized as … (0 comments)

louisville homes for sale: Responsible “Flipping” Rules Could Help Louisville Market
- 09/27/10 02:50 PM
FHA rules announced on January 15, 2010 offer a new approach to mitigating the foreclosure crisis by temporarily suspending a long standing rule against "flipping" that could impact the Louisville housing scene.In the past, the process of "flipping" a house acquired a bad name. This was because investors would by a home a bargain price, then resell that home at inflated prices, to unsuspecting buyers. When the homes, often barely renovated, were then financed with high-interest loans, buyers were left with worthless properties and high mortgages.In 2003, the Bush Administration released a new "anti-flipping" rule that would stop the predatory lending … (0 comments)

Let's take a look at the basic steps involved to see if taking the short road to homeownership in Louisville is a good option for you. The first step is to actually find the short sales.

louisville homes for sale: New FHA Program Could Be a Lifesaver for Underwater Homeowners in Louisville
- 09/14/10 02:30 PM
Last Tuesday, a new lifeline was thrown by the federal government to homeowners in Louisville. In an effort to help those who owe more on their properties than the homes are actually worth, the Federal Housing Administration is allowing lenders to offer these borrowers new, refinanced loans backed by the government. Participating lenders will be required to forgive at least 10% of the original mortgage amount, thereby giving a greater number of responsible borrowers the opportunity to remain in their homes.The program reflects a new approach by the Obama administration to address the foreclosure crisis.

louisville homes for sale: Gill Holland and NuLu – Making Louisville Greener One Block at a Time
- 09/01/10 08:28 AM
Louisville is known as the Possibility City, and that name certainly captures the spirit of the people residing in our great town! Of course, Kentuckians historically have a tendency to see things a little differently; while some may have seen grain that went bad during shipping as a liability, inventive Kentuckians saw it and thought, "We should do something about that!" They came up with a method for processing the grain for easier shipping, and voila - bourbon was born! Although he wasn't born in Louisville, there's a kindred spirit to be found in Louisville Magazine's 2009 Person of the Year, … (0 comments)
