On New Years Day, January 1st I was able to successfully negotiate a contract on a listing of mine located at 8505 William Cummins Ct. This property was on the market for about 40 days. Additionally, the sellers of this property were able to move forward on a home they wanted to purchase. At the end of the day, I had 2 homes sales recorded "pending" on January 1st. It was a terrific way to start the New Year!
Actually, though, all I am doing really is picking up where I left off in 2009. The number 1 question I get these days is, how is the real estate market? My response all year has been, "2009 is in the top 3 out of the 12 years I have been in the business." Now, don't get me wrong, as a company my agents are all down anywhere from 50-60%.
Whatever you do, don't give up on real estate. Here's some possbile strategies to implement throughout the 2010 year.
I wish each of you and yours the most success in 2010!

Real estate sales were up 67% in November 2009 for the Greater Louisville Association of Realtors!
The National Weather Service in Louisville, KY reported that approximately 3.95" of rain fell last night in a short period of time causing a flood emergency with flash flooding. In Southern Indiana, lots more rain fell and there were several water rescues. When flash flooding occurs at nightfall it is very difficult to realize the water has flooded a road.
I hope that everyone in Louisville, KY is okay and that no one experienced major flooding in theirs homes as we just went through that on August 4, 2009.
What ever happened to a nice, peaceful, steady rain.......... it seems like it is all or none. Just yesterday morning Louisville was 1.5" below normal on rainfall, now on Monday morning, we are above normal.
More rain is predicted on Tuesday morning and this coming weekend. Stay dry!
