Articles and blogs nationwide report that only 15% to 25% of short sale transactions close. However, I close dozens of short sales a year with a success rate of about 80%. We are striving to increase our success rate to above 90%. Guess what the primary reason for short sale failure is in our office; Lender inefficiency? No High BPO's? No Buyers backing out? No The number one reason? The sellers themselves! We can persevere with the lender.  We can appeal the high BPO. We can find new buyers if the current one backs out. But when the seller loses focus it's hard to get them back on track. The vast majority of sellers that we are helping are extremely responsible, organized and focused on the task at hand. They are great team players and are appreciative of the monumental hoops we have t... 12/12/2009

While doing a little research for homes in Prospect, Ky, I decided to compared the asking price of homes currently for sale in Prospect to the smaller group of homes just coming on to the market in any given week.  There is a very discernable difference between the two numbers, and lately, the number has only been getting bigger and bigger, with almost $55,000 separating the two variables.  Think about that for just one second:  If you are a home owner in Prospect, with a home for sale around $500,000, and the new listings are coming on the market for $450,000, that is going to seriously affect your chances of finding a buyer any time soon.If you have any questions about Prospect or Louisville real estate in general, please visit www.lsir.com.  11/09/2009

  On a few of my other blog sites, I have recently written an article or two about the current real estate market in Prospect Ky.  Here is a chart that I did not share on any of those sites, but still found it interesting.  According to the good folks at Altos Research, where I get most of my data, a market action index for any area that is below 30 falls squarely into a buyer's market, with the lower the number being indicative of just how far into that buyer's market your area is.  With that in mind, let's look at the chart above.  On September 17th of this year, the Median Market Action Index for Prospect Ky was just at 19, a solid buyer's market.  Now, about one month later, maybe five weeks, the measurement is 12, a pretty steep fall.  The good news is that this may just be normal... 10/23/2009

The city of Prospect gets it's name from the Latin derivative for the word view.  Well this is indeed appropriate.  The cities origins began in the late 1800's mainly as a farming community.  It was not until the 1960's with the development of Hunting Creek Subdivision complete with a golf course that the town started to gain momentum.
