Whether You’re Looking to Rent, Buy or Build...
Louisville Has It All By Nancy Miller For anyone relocating to Louisville, one of the questions they are most often asked is, “Do you want to rent, buy or build?” Exploring the opportunities for each is exciting and should be a fun process, as shared by several of Louisville’s top names in real estate, development and finance. Teresa Morgan of Semonin Realtors targets St. Matthews, Middletown and Prospect as piquing the most interest among potential home buyers. The 40245 zip code takes in Middletown, Lake Forest, Locust Creek and out to Forest Springs. The wealthiest zip code, 40059, includes Prospect, in which Norton Commons, a unique mixed-use community bears the appropriate nickname, “a town within a city.” The Highlands and Crescent Hill have for a long time been two of the most popular areas in Louisville, with a wide selection of single-family homes and rentals. NuLu and Butchertown are focal points for small business growth as well as the sites of a rapidly expanding residential housing market. Bordering the central downtown district are Shelby Park, Smoketown and Germantown, all locations where Morgan sees appreciation in home values. Bob Thieneman of RJ Thieneman believes the Parklands of 14
Floyds Fork sector will experience the most dramatic growth over the next ten years. RE/MAX Associates’ Joe Simms has a heads-up completely across town for those who are interested in currently undervalued areas. “I like the area around Churchill Downs for very reasonably priced homes. It hasn’t really taken off yet but U of L and Churchill Downs are spending a lot of money there and it’s close to downtown, which will be a major factor in its desirability.” He’s confident that newcomers will be surprised at the quality of local homes for the price they’re paying. “Even though prices have risen, they’re a great value,” he says. “Most potential buyers do their homework online before they come to us. They know what they want and have done market research. They’re ahead of the curve. I think that’s very positive. It’s good for them and it helps us be more focused on what they want.” Cory Bybee of Republic Bank observes existing homes moving rapidly, in part due to low interest rates. Those homes usually involve a 30 to 45-day financing process. “Building a home has a lengthier time frame but there may be the option of doing a longer-term lock-in so the client can lock their rate to
2018/2019 Greater Louisville Relocation Guide
prevent further rate increases while building,” he says. Rates are still solid, according to David Hobbs of River City Bank. Although he predicts they probably will rise over the next year, he forecasts they will remain manageable and affordable. He strongly urges buyers to connect with a Realtor who can provide solid market analysis to support the purchase price of any home, give resources regarding school systems within different areas and explain financing options. “Because there’s such low inventory now for existing homes, when someone is moving to Louisville and finds a home they like, they need to buy immediately. If a home is priced right, it will sell within days and usually for full price or more,” says Morgan. She adds that many buyers would rather purchase less square footage but have the house move-in ready. Thieneman has good news for those who are interested in building a home. “Louisville is fortunate in that we have a great selection of home builders and a variety of excellent locations in which to build. And there’s affordability relative to some of our competing cities.” The old adage that there’s something for everyone is certainly true about building a house in Louisville. Dan Smith of Stonelake Homes bucked a trend toward narrow lots with his company’s Dove Point Estates which will host Homearama 2019. The homes, which are priced at $500,000 and above, sit on lots averaging about 85 feet wide, allowing for side entry garages. On the flip side, for other developments, he talks to many people considering building who are looking for less expensive homes of 1,800 to 2,300 square feet yet don’t want to give up the amenities typical in larger homes. Buyers’ desire to not give up amenities applies to all price points of homes. Must-haves vary according to individual buyers,
but there are some common themes. “Across the board, people are focused on outdoor living space, the functionality and layout of the home, and energy efficiency, as opposed to larger square footage,” says Billy Doelker of Key Homes. “They’re wanting a higher level of finishes with trim, fixtures and appliances. They’re also asking for what I call flex space which can be a television or reading room, or maybe a small pocket office.” Responding to buyers for whom in-city living isn’t a preference, Stonelake Homes has been building on five- 10- and 20-acre lots in Shelby and Bullitt Counties. Such acreage isn’t necessarily the case for someone who still wants to live away from the central city. Rocky Pusateri and his company, Elite Homes, have several developments on the Shelbyville Road corridor and from Highway 42 to Bardstown Road up and down the Gene Snyder and as far north as the river. “The city has just finished the Parklands bike trail where there are also many miles for hiking. Eventually, bike trails will run from downtown through the Parklands. When that happens, the area will be one of the most desirable in Louisville,” says Morgan. Scott Welch of Welch Builders and David Hobbs both urge anyone who’s thinking about building a home to check the BIA’s website to confirm that the builder is registered. “To me, that’s critical because BIA Registered Builders are held to certain standards. Also, make sure you have a budget you feel comfortable with, perhaps even having been approved for a loan amount, and present that to the builder,” says Hobbs. “I encourage people to reach out to a builder before they purchase land. Too often someone has already put a contract on a lot when they speak to a builder. They may have paid too much or may not have figured out utilities availability and other
2018/2019 Greater Louisville Relocation Guide
15
things concerning how the lot fits into the scope of their budget,” says Doelker. He emphasizes to clients that building a home is a process that will take time and with which they need to be involved. It isn’t just about getting to closing. “That way the client is engaged in putting their personal touches on the home. I also think it’s as important for them to enjoy the experience as it is important to end up with a quality product.” Pusateri segments his buyers into two groups: those who are willing to live temporarily and wait for the house to be built and others who can’t or don’t want to wait, leading them to buy a house that’s already constructed. “And we have two separate products ---three to four-bedroom homes that you’d raise a family in, and garden homes. The garden homes are fee simple. The owners pay us a maintenance fee to cut the grass, trim bushes and irrigate the yard. It’s kind of like living in a condo but it’s their house on their lot and isn’t connected to somebody else. There are 10,000 people a day turning age 65, so I think those homes will continue to be a factor until 2024. But, that product also appeals to younger people who don’t want to take care of a yard,” he says. Doelker’s goal also is to remain diverse in terms of location (Jefferson, Shelby and Oldham counties), price point and product type. Several of Key Homes’ developments are the maintenance free villa or garden homes that are selling well among Millennials, empty nesters and retirees. “Years ago, it seemed like only older people who couldn’t take care of outside maintenance would move to patio and garden homes. But now they’re being bought by people who do a lot of traveling or work so much they don’t have time for that,” says Morgan. Welch Builders, widely recognized for their custom homes, builds large homes on estate lots in the Louisville and Shelby County areas. “We’re also fairly well known for catering to empty nesters who want to build high end garden homes. A certain percentage of buyers in that age group ask for a little less square footage but want amenities such as quartz or granite countertops, spacious walk-in showers and an attractive outdoor living space,” says Scott Welch. His garden homes at Gardens of Notting Hill, the majority of which are ranch-style, reflect those interests and are where homeowners can congregate in an open space and can enjoy sitting on porches and grilling out with their families. The local rental market is quite strong, as David Hobbs points out when discussing the city’s diverse range of apartments, including those in the luxury category. Lee Weyland of Weyland Ventures says Louisville has great rental options and that more than a thousand new rental units are being built downtown, the area in which his company specializes. “One of the terrific things about renting downtown is the ability to easily go to the orchestra or attend a show or play or festival. You don’t get the proximity to those lifestyle amenities anywhere else in the city,” he says. “We always say it’s for the young and the young at heart when we hear a comment about downtown living being for younger people. Maybe a couple’s grandchildren are in another city and they want to frequently travel to see them, or maybe the couple has a house in Florida where they want to spend part of the year. The low maintenance of a rental unit is perfect for them.” Whether you are looking to rent, buy or build, Louisville has it all. From the eclectic neighborhoods near downtown to spacious subdivisions in the surrounding counties, your perfect home awaits in Greater Louisville. 16

Five Ways to Reduce the Stress of Moving
The nation’s steady progress toward full economic recovery is more than just general public opinion. Earlier this summer, recent data from HUD and the U.S. Census Bureau showed that sales of newly built, single-family homes reached its highest level in nearly nine years. That’s a very positive sign our economy is heading in the right direction. As mortgage interest rates remain low and employment continues to grow, more and more home buyers will be moving into their dream homes. But even after loans are approved and sales contracts are finalized, the final step could potentially be the most stressful: packing up and moving in. Whether your next move is cross country or across the street, keep in mind the following tips: 1. Set Up Your Cable and Internet Service ASAP — Believe it or not, life would go on with or without the Internet. But most people would rather not test that theory. Make the necessary arrangements with your provider(s) as early as you can to avoid the inconvenience of a gap in your TV or internet service. 2. Prevent Pet Anxiety — When the movers come, your pets might not exactly welcome them with wagging tails and friendly handshakes. If you have a pet that won’t take kindly to strangers (the movers) seemingly walking off with your belongings, then you’ll benefit from having a friend or family member take them for the day. 18
3. Consider the Kids — Depending on their ages, your kids may need a similar level of attention to that of your pets. Moving is a strain on them too, so making arrangements for a caretaker to look after your little ones while you tend to the move could alleviate a significant amount of potential stress. 4. Stockpile the Essentials — The last thing you want to worry about on Day 1 in your new home is where you put your toothbrush. Early in the packing phase, establish and clearly label an “essentials” box where you will be able to quickly find important items such as medications, IDs and credit cards, bath products, phone chargers, a change of clothes, etc. 5. Make Sure Your Moving Company is Thoroughly Vetted — Not all moving companies are the same. But even though price often aligns with quality, that doesn’t mean you’re obligated to pay top dollar for moving services. Ask around for references, and always check the companies’ websites as well as consumer review websites to look for red flags. No one wants the process of moving into their dream home to become a nightmare. With proper planning and the right level of support, your move can be smooth sailing from start to finish. If you’re still searching for the perfect home, let us help. For more information, contact the Building Industry Association of Greater Louisville at www.bialouisville.com.

Relocating to Louisville Makes
Good Business Sense By Nancy Miller

2018/2019 Greater Louisville Relocation Guide
A bustling downtown, affordable housing, outstanding cultural attractions, a plethora of casual and fine dining restaurants, a variety of education choices and one of the best park systems in the country are only some of the reasons Louisville is a prime city for relocating a business. Semonin Realtors’ Teresa Morgan supplements that list with the bourbon district, the Big Four walking bridge, Louisville Slugger Museum, the Muhammad Ali Center, Churchill Downs and college sports. “Moving to Louisville makes good business sense because the quality of life here is huge. For a lot of people who transfer in, once they’re here they don’t want to transfer out,” says John Miranda of Pinnacle Properties. Offering another perspective on the city, he says the state administration has made a positive impact for businesses through right to work legislation and many pro-business initiatives. Louisville is a city that is quick and simple to navigate, and that can’t be ignored as a crucial attribute for businesses weighing their relocation options. Bill Bardenwerper of the law firm Bardenwerper, Talbott & Roberts believes many decisionmakers in a business planning a move take into consideration the distance their employees will have to travel from their homes to their work. He says Louisville scores high marks. It’s a sentiment supported by Billy Doelker of Key Homes: “Louisville is unique in that options are pretty wide open because it’s so easy to get from point A to point B. That’s a huge plus for residents who want to live in an area other than where they work.” Louisville is definitely in a movement forward as far as population influx. The city and surrounding counties have united very well to showcase the area and a lot of its amenities, notes David Hobbs of River City Bank. Understanding the importance of housing opportunities, he sees an increasing introduction of more diverse apartments and a booming market for buying and
building homes. “Businesses give strong consideration to housing availability. Our city is still relatively affordable as a place to live and we’re seeing a lot of growth and opportunity for diversity of housing all over Louisville, but particularly in the east end,” says Bardenwerper. “When we talk about companies that have come to Louisville, I look at the industrial side where we are setting records. Many of those jobs are very good fulfillment jobs and warehousing jobs with benefits. A lot of people are employed through them. In order to attract those kinds of businesses, we have to be able to offer affordable housing, whether rental or owned. In Louisville and Southern Indiana, we have been able to do that,” comments Phil Scherer of Cushman & Wakefield/ Commercial Kentucky. Each area of the city boasts its own features and advantages. Most everyone agrees that downtown is a hot area not only for Millennials but for anyone who values the close proximity to restaurants, the arts, shopping, the medical center and riverfront festivals. Joe Simms of RE/MAX Associates points to the revitalization of downtown as one of the factors that has contributed to the burgeoning interest among businesses that are considering relocating here. “My theory is that you have to have a strong downtown to have a strong city, and we have that,” he says. The city offers many distinctly different areas for relocating a business. Miranda calls out several, including Lyndon and along Blankenbaker Road. “There’s also a nice area in the Bardstown Road corridor and on Shelbyville Road. There are pockets throughout Louisville. For larger companies, there’s the vibrant central business district and a strong east end office market that includes Shelby campus,” he says.

A company’s short- and long-term goals would factor in their decision to lease versus own their property. According to Miranda, leasing is a reasonable option if a company doesn’t want to tie up capital with a purchase and values the flexibility if there’s a need to expand or contract space. Of course, one of the advantages of owning the property is that the company pays itself rent rather than paying another entity. “We sell 6,000 to 8,000 square feet office buildings. Most of our tenants occupy about half the space. That gives them room to expand,” he says. Scherer thinks downtown’s concentration of quality office space, both Class A and Class B, is a definite lure to businesses relocating to Louisville. “Perhaps we have a bit of high vacancy because of some consolidation and, in some cases, downsizing of businesses, but also because companies are more conscious today of how they use their space. They’re reengineering spaces to accommodate more people and to encourage collaboration among employees. That’s sort of the new paradigm today,” he says. He goes on to explain that it isn’t that the working population downtown is changing, but that the people working there are occupying less space. The existing product is welllocated and professionally operated and maintained, and is going through a period of restructuring. That has allowed downtown to attract some nontraditional tenants as opposed to law firms, accounting and insurance firms. “Now we see the ability of downtown to attract the back office tenants, call centers and
support operations that had traditionally gone to suburban locations where parking ratios might be six or eight spaces per thousand square feet of office space. Scherer’s experience shows that employers are using a downtown location as a recruiting tool for their employees, with a different attitude toward the cost of parking. “Many would say the cost of parking is a ticket to enjoy the amenities offered by downtown, such as retailers and restaurants,” he says. Relocating to Louisville is a positive move on many fronts, as has been discussed by the experts in their fields. But there are even more reasons Louisville is becoming the city of choice for small businesses and major corporations. According to Greater Louisville Inc., Kentucky has recently enacted wide-spread reforms to tax code policy. Reforms include the repeal of the corporate license tax and the intangible property tax, as well as a reduction in the corporate income tax rate from 8.25 percent to the current 6%. Personal income taxes have also been reduced to a range of 2-6%. GLI further extols Kentucky’s business incentives and financial programs and reports that benefits are available for all types of companies – regional and national headquarters; back-office; distribution and supply chain; manufacturing; and research and development. It’s clear that relocating to Louisville makes good business sense, and we’re glad you’re here.

(For locals, it’s one of the most popular social events of the season.) • Strategically located between Louisville and Lexington, it’s an easy drive for commuters. It’s also a great location for new businesses. Two new multi-million dollar distilleries are in progress in Shelby County, creating new jobs and a wonderful addition to the region’s bourbon culture. • A community theater, the Clear Creek Park Family Activity Center, a movie theater, skate park and a variety of other offerings add to the family-friendly atmosphere and charm of Shelby County. • Long-time dining establishments such as Claudia Sanders Dinner House and Science Hill Inn add historic flavor to fine dining. 48
One-of-a-kind restaurants and downtown cafes and coffee shops (there’s even one in an antique store) add to the eclectic mix. • Shelby County’s reputation as a destination for antique shopping and interior design is anchored by its wide variety of specialty stores, including the renowned Wakefield-Scearce Galleries, with more than 32,000 sq. ft. of showrooms. • Gallrein Farms is a popular spot to find fresh produce, pick pumpkins and take a hayride. New on the block (or the field, rather) is Mulberry Orchard where corn mazes in the fall and pulled pork sandwiches are drawing crowds of curious farm-goers. • In Shelby County, quality of life and peace of mind run as boldly as the horses do. It’s a place where the sun rises a little earlier for the folks making biscuits at Claudia Sanders Dinner House and sets a little later for couples enjoying live music on Saturday nights at one of the local wineries. • Behind-the-scenes tours at local horse farms (including a therapeutic riding center), can be arranged through the Shelby County Tourism Commission. Trail riders can explore Shelby Trails Equestrian Park on their own.
