Its an Unbelievable Time to Buy a Home!
We all know that the housing market has struggled over the last few years, but even during those times there were bright spots for buyers and sellers with the first rays of sunlight breaking through to show the end of those struggles were in sight over the last year. Today, we are in the midst of a strong housing recovery and we can see the evidence all over South Central Kentucky.
