We love our clients! We love to sell Louisville Real Estate. At a closing today we had to deal with a very interesting problem. Georgia was tired and her home was about to be sold. Luckly she wasn't signing the papers.

Home sales are heating up in Louisville Kentucky. Many of the homes selling are in the 100,000-200,000 price range. We can thank the $8000.00 first time home buyers tax credit. We’re keeping a close eye on our more than 45 listings and the number of showings each week. We send out market updates to all our sellers to keep them up on Louisville home sales. Below is the video I sent to our sellers today.

Here in Louisville Kentucky home sales of quality (well taken care of) homes is hot. Don’t overprice your home because it won’t sell!

Our daughter and Real Estate Agent Ashley Sokoler ( a former dance team coach and Louisville Ladybird) and Dan Mason were married tonight.

Here's a look at their first Wedding Dance Together!

The economy, home prices and living conditions in other parts of the country are forcing people to rethink their quality of life in those areas. We're seeing more and more people come to Louisville Kentucky because this area is exactly opposite the area their living in now. Louisville real estate prices is a perfect example. Jackie and Kevin are perfect examples. They came to Louisville yesterday to see if they could find a house they could be happy living in.

It happened again with another peice of Louisville real estate! The Medley Sokoler Team listed a condo last Sunday and sold it in 6 days for close to list price! The teams listing was up against 5 other properties in the same subdivision all similarly priced. The Medley Sokoler team which is now ranked as the number 4 RE/MAX team in the Kentucky – Tennessee region is thoroughly convinced the pictures and videos they produce are the keys to getting eyeball time (buyers looking for homes on the internet). With a recent Courier Journal / RE/MAX survey showing that 87% of home buyers start looking on the internet, The Medley Sokoler Team believes that only high quality pictures and attention grabbing videos will be associated with our listings. The Team has spent thousands of dollars on cameras, lens and computers to produce the best marketing materials possible for their clients. Watch the video and see what you think.

It’s now estimated that 87% of people searching for Louisville homes are starting online. Search any website like www.weselllouisville.com or www.louisvillehomestoday.com look at the homes on the MLS and you’re bound to see homes priced at 199,999 or 249,999. We call that K-mart pricing. That’s because when you walk through a K-Mart you’ll always see price signs with 9.99 or 12.99 in the aisles. We’re sure management at these stores think their pulling a fast one on us. Gosh we would never suspect something priced at 9.99 is actually 1 penny under the terrible TEN dollar mark!

That may work for K-MART but it doesn’t work for your home and here’s why. Do a search on those real estate web sites and you’ll immediately find the searches are set up in increments of 5,000 10,000 or even 25, 000 dollars. So let’s say for example you're a buyer and set up a search from 100,000 – 125,000. If you price your home at 124,999 you’ll be found in the search. But what if a buyers is looking in the 125,000 – 150,000 price range. In that search you won’t be found. Now get rid of the K-MART pricing and price your home at 125,000 and look what happens. Your home is found in both searches doubling the chances of being found.

Remember, this works no matter what the price range and can instantly increase your chances of being found in a home buyers search.
