Lexington, KY

I just finished coming back from dinner with my wonderful wife Kathy. Once again the restaurant food was good but not as delicious as my wife's cooking. My grandson Sam said to me as we were eating lunch the other day, "Grammy is a good cooker isn't she grandpa Paul?" Kathy has a knack for making everything she cooks taste so that the palette just wants to keep savoring the food.

I often ask Kathy if she wants to go out to eat because I know the effort it takes to cook. However, even she acknowledges her cooking is generally much better than retaurant food so she usually would rather stay at home.

We had a gift certificate to Appleby's. Not only was the food just "good" but the atmosphere is just too busy and too noisy. I like to be able to talk with my wife and not have to strain to hear her through loud music. I wonder, is it just my age or are there younger people who also prefer a quieter setting for their dining experience.

If you are from Lexington and know of good restaurants with great food and a quiet atmosphere would you please share that with me. Thanks, Paul

Buyers and Sellers take note!

Yesterday I went to a closing of one of my listings in which the buyers closed with financing in only nine days. Yes, my seller accepted the offer on October 21st and the closing was on October 30th.

The buyer chose not to have an inspection which in my opinion was not a wise choice. Of course this sped the process up by probably at least a week.

So if you are thinking of buying and have been told it takes at least 45 days give me a call. I work with people who are able to get things done very quickly provided you have good credit.

First time home buyers there may still be time to get that 8 thousand dollar tax credit if you have good credit.

Sellers! The average days on the market for my last listings has been 21 days. The listings have also sold for an average of 99 percent of the listing price. So sellers give me a call if you want your house to move quickly. 859 684 5890, pcampbell@rhr.com

University of Kentucky Student Housing - Lexington KY - Consider Homes For Sale Instead Of A Dorm Room As an Investment

Right before the school term begins, I get emails and calls from tax savvy parents that want to purchase a home for sale for their University of Kentucky student.

Why throw money away on a dorm room for student housing? A wise investment home near campus is the answer to gain equity and save money in the long run. Resale it after graduation.

There are many good and safe areas for students to commute to campus.

Downtown Lexington, Chevy Chase, Rosemont, Ashland Park, Zandale, Tates Creek, Kenwick are some nearby areas to choose from.

Some of the homes for sale have plenty of extra bedrooms to rent out to roommates to help cover the mortgage payment each month. As all of the new students enroll in University of Kentucky there is need for these homes nearby as student housing.

That's right. John Lyons is coming to the Kentucky Horse Park on January 16 - 17, 2010. It'll be the opening event for the Kentucky Horse Park's new Indoor Arena!

LEXINGTON, KY (October 27, 2009) The Kentucky Horse Park and the Center for Women in Racing announced today that they are partnering to bring world-renowned horse trainer, John Lyons, to a symposium extravaganza weekend in the new state-of-the-art Indoor Arena January 16-17, 2010.

"Circle of Champions 2010: A John Lyons Symposium" will be the first major event and trade show in the Indoor Arena in 2010, and will serve as a flagship event at the Kentucky Horse Park in anticipation of the Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games in the fall. John Lyons will be working his magic as a horse whisperer with a variety of horses throughout the weekend representing the multi-breed, multi-discipline theme of the year.

"We are delighted to welcome John Lyons at our opening event in the new Indoor Arena next year," said John Nicholson, Executive Director of the Kentucky Horse Park. "I have admired Mr. Lyons for years, and have marveled at his ability to work miracles with everything from backyard ponies to racing Thoroughbreds."

The weekend will include demonstrations from locally owned horses within the disciplines of reining, eventing, vaulting, jumping, driving and dressage. A demonstration of Thoroughbreds in transition from the racetrack will also be included under the direction of the co-sponsor, the Center for Women in Racing , a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping women in the racing industry with retired racehorses in an aftercare facility in Paris, Kentucky.
