Yesterday I attended a great presentation at the Olmsted in Louisville hosted by Fifth Third Lending.  There were a couple of speakers, the first being a Real Estate trainer with a message on how to keep your clients by making their transaction easy...Easy-fy your transaction and the experience for your clients and they will come back.  He was quite entertaining and very informative.

The second speaker was Frank E. Northaft, Chief Economist with Freddie Mac.  As most economist do, he had a computer full of slides to illustrate his points about the economy.  I wont go into details here; there are many blogs for those of you who really understand all that and want to read about it.  The overall message was a positive one; things are getting better.  

Mr. Northaft showed data that went back several years, but also some projections from the FOMC (Federal Open Market Committee).  It was a little bright spot in his presentation, but it's great that those who run our Federal Reserve Banks and help shape our monetary policy feel that we are moving slowly, but still moving forward.  

With the lowest interest rates in almost 60 years and prices coming down or holding steady, it is a great time to buy a home or investment property.  Unless you're concerned about your employment prospects in the next year or two, you should be looking.  

You can search our site for some homes that look good to you, but sit down with one of our agents and talk to them about your ideas and your needs and let them  explain the market and help get you qualified.  Let them do the work and make it EASY.
