Even More Good News for Louisville Home Owners

On the heels of the recent welcome news about Louisville’s consistently low cost of living compared to the national average, a new announcement from the U.S. Conference of Mayors that took place this week brings Louisville home owners even more good news. Louisville received top prize among cities with over 100,000 residents for being the”most livable city” in 2012.

Certainly, no one is ready to say that the recession is completely behind us. But according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the month of January saw 15,000 more jobs available in Greater Louisville than during the same month of the previous year. As reported in the Courier-Journal, Louisville and Southern Indiana have...
