The first Saturday in May.  That is the day for the Kentucky Derby.  What people from out of the Kentucky region may not know is that this is a time when Louisville shines.  The fun begins with Thunder Over Louisville (one of the largest fireworks displays around) which was held this year on April 12.  Some of the highlight events (http://www.kdf.org/) are the Great Steam Boat Race, the Ramble for the Rose, the The Pegasus Parade, the Chow Wagon at Waterfront Park, a Marathon, a Basketball Classic, the Great Balloonfest, and the list goes on.  The Friday before the Kentucky Derby the is the Kentucky Oaks when the fillies run.  Then, there is the Kentucky Derby!  It makes me a proud citizen of our city to see the great organization, joy and fun these three weeks have to offer.  Take a look at the link of what the “Derby Festival” has to offer over the weeks leading up to the race.  I think you will be amazed.  Experience it sometime for yourself and see what Louisville is really all about.    

2008 Ecomonic Forcast for Louisville, Kentucky
Attached is an interesting article from the local business paper (Business First).  It discusses the housing market, the impact of the “mortgage crisis” and the outlook for the Louisville economy as a whole.  The panel assembled to explore the conditions was one of power and insight.  Enjoy! 

Our economy remains steady.

As we hear more and more from the media about the unstable mortgage market, there are a few things you should know.  Reputable and stable (financially strong) mortgage companies are still available to you.  I have been practicing real estate for a very long time and during that time I have found that when my customers begin the process of selecting a home, a mortgage lender, a title company and an insurance agent the process can be made seamless with the selection of the right service providers.  

Our company, Coldwell Banker McMahan, strives to provide a full range of professional services that complete the circle in a powerful way. 

Coldwell Banker Mortgage is an important element to a successful transaction.  Coldwell Banker Mortgage has long enjoyed a distinguished position in the mortgage industry.  They are competitive with rates and fees and one of the larger lenders in the nation. 

My clients and I enjoy a successful relationship with Coldwell Banker Mortgage.  I am sure you will too.

What getting a Mortgage should be!

For over 14 years I have been working with buyers considering moving to the Louisville, Kentucky market. 

What I find surprising is that people coming from other cities have no idea what a great community and what an interesting metropolitan area Metro Louisville really is.  Relocating families tell me that when they share with their friends they are moving to “Kentucky” it is common that our area is truly misunderstood. 

Louisville is an area with a beautiful and historic downtown that is experiencing an amazing rebirth.  The Ohio River flows right at the edge of the expansive Waterfront Park and a new downtown arena will be under construction soon.  This is not to mention the Louisville Slugger Museum, Slugger Field, the Louisville Science Center, University of Louisville, great hotels and restaurants everywhere you go, festivals, art shows, opera, ballet, Broadway Series, the Kentucky Derby, a great zoo, a user friendly airport, great schools (both public and private), amazing shopping, beautiful natural surroundings and lots of friendly people. 

Our housing market offers great choices in terms of both price range and style.  Anything you want is available here. 

There is new construction in the growing suburban areas, older homes in charming established areas, ”new urbanism” featuring the new Norton Commons community and a growing base of outstanding condominium choices. 

Consider Louisville, Kentucky interesting, exciting, fun and intriguing and I will look forward to seeing you soon.
