Citing concerns that low-income residents would invite crime to the neighborhood, Prospect residents along with its mayor have overwhelmingly opposed a new housing development. The development focused on housing for senior citizens with low income.

While developers say that they are only interested in providing quality housing for all people in all areas of the city, they are having trouble convincing Prospect residents that this is the right move.

If you are interested in buying a home in the Louisville Metro, or you are a current resident, speak with your councilman or woman regarding your thoughts on housing availability. After that, talk to your Red Edge agent about where you would like to buy. We look forward to helping you find a neighborhood where you feel comfortable!

Dollar, Dollar

Make you Holler

moneyThere’s an old saying that if it’s too good to be true, it probably is. However, that is not always the case where real estate is concerned.

The Louisville Metro is currently selling properties for $1. Yes, you read that correctly.

To avoid the cost of demolition, the city is unloading vacant properties for nearly nothing if the buyer agrees to renovate or demolish.

Residents are buying homes they can bring back to life or properties they can clear and use for pursuits like community gardens. In either case, the city is seeing a benefit as neighborhoods are revitalized.

If you are interested in taking a look at the list – called Last Look program, visit the Vacant and Public Property Administration’s website. They keep an updated list with scheduled showings. After you renovate the property, a Red Edge agent would be happy to assist you with selling it to a qualified buyer. Give us a call and we’ll have that renovated property sold in no time.
