lexington: An Increase of 1% interest rates will decrease the Kentucky homebuyer's buying power by 11 Percent.
- 02/15/12 01:31 PM
Interest rates right now are the lowest in my history and I am "old." The current interest rates make buying a home so easy if you have decent credit scores. Your buying power is so much greater with these fantastic rates. Look carefully at this chart below. It does not lie. When interest rates rise one percent you lose 11 percent of your buying power. NOW IS THE TIME TO BUY! … (3 comments)

- 01/16/12 04:56 AM
Big Change In Fayette County Housing Market We constantly read that this is a buyer's market here in Fayette County and it has been for several years now.

- 10/28/11 04:17 PM
10) There are just too many homes to choose from in the higher price ranges. It is just too difficult to decide on which home to buy when there are so many choices.

It is so much easier when I don't have to worry about dissappointing so many home owners trying to sell their homes. 9) There are so few homes in my price range.
