Warren County Home Sales Tue, 5 Aug 2008 11:10:29 -0500
Home sales declined nationally in June, and while that trend is being reflected locally, area Realtors say the housing market is ahead of other regions of the country. The federal Commerce Department and the U.S. Census Bureau reported that sales of new single-family homes reached 530,000 in June, 0.6 percent below the 533,000 sold in May and 33.2 percent below the 793,000 sales reported in June 2007. Since October, national home sales have decreased from month to month, except for April this year, when 542,000 new homes, an increase of 29,000, were sold. Locally, the decline in home sales is evident, but less pronounced than the nationwide trend. In Warren County, 471 home sales have been recorded from March 1 to June 30 of this year, compared to 567 sales for the same period in 2007, according to the Realtors Association of Southern Kentucky. Meg Manning, CEO of the local Realtors association, said the local housing market has avoided the sharp turns experienced in other regions, benefiting from housing prices that have increased on a steady basis as opposed to the abrupt declines experienced elsewhere that have been brought on by a wave of foreclosures. The median price of a home in Warren County, including all new and existing homes, has been $140,000 this spring, compared to $137,500 from the beginning of March to the end of June 2007. Potential buyers, though, remain somewhat apprehensive about purchasing here, expressing worries that the housing market here will experience a downturn similar to what other regions have seen. “Now is a good time for buyers because of what is available, and it’s also a good time for sellers due to the fact that they’re keeping the value on their home,” Manning said. Of the sales reported between March and June of this year, 47 percent have been on homes in what the local Realtors association labels Bowling Green South and Warren County South, which the association defines as the area following Scottsville Road and Nashville Road from their intersection south to the county line. Tim Graham, president of Design Builders Association and of the Builders Association of South Central Kentucky, said that particular area of the county is attracting construction because of the availability of residential lots and the lack of zoning restrictions. Lonnie Gann, a Realtor and auctioneer for Hunt Real Estate Group and the current president of the Realtors association, said construction of speculative housing has been dialed back with that particular sector of the market becoming less profitable. “The builders have done a good job of maintaining inventory and we’re not seeing as much speculative building as two years ago,” Gann said. “We talk to (buyers) about what’s going on nationally ... we’re trying to bring folks back and keep (the housing economy) in a local perspective and tell them to look at their personal economy.” Gann said he is hopeful that favorable interest rates on 30-year fixed rate mortgages for potential buyers, plus the housing rescue bill signed into law last week that extends a tax credit of up to $7,500 to first-time homebuyers, will provide an incentive for more people to invest between now and this time next year. “The worst thing that can happen is for owners to make the decision to do nothing,” Gann said. Graham said the nature of residential construction work locally has changed because of the national housing market. “We are doing a lot more additions and renovations of existing homes than we were before the downturn began,” Graham said. Home construction is tied to interest rates on 30-year mortgages, Graham said - put simply, as rates go up, the affordability of a home goes down. Graham is paying close attention to the well-being of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the publicly traded companies that are backing the majority of outstanding home mortgages. Shares in both companies have fallen as they struggle in the face of homeowners defaulting on the mortgages Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac have been backing. “If a homeowner is doing a new construction loan, those rates are at historic lows now,” Graham said. “Fixed rates have fluctuated, though, and that’s a reflection of the volatility in the marketplace.” Ann Elliott, a Realtor for Crye-Leike Executive Realty who has extensive experience selling in the area, said the local housing market tends to fluctuate, with parallel economic developments such as the infusion of new industry or rising prices of other commodities in part affecting housing sales. “(The market) seems like it sort of yo-yos, it gets slow then gets really busy,” said Elliott, who sells primarily in Warren County, but also markets to pockets of Grayson and Barren counties. Elliott said that despite the downturn, she has not perceived a decrease in open houses and related real estate events. “I’m seeing many first-time buyers and people transferring in from other places,” Elliott said. “Hopefully, the market is going to get better.” Manning said Bowling Green and the surrounding area has exceeded other areas when it comes to housing sales because of the relative strength of the local economy and the quality of the housing stock. The recent decline in sales amounts to a normalizing after an extended period of outperforming the national market, Manning said. “We have been posting record years in sales for several years and you just can’t maintain that,” Manning said.

Locally Owned: Dog’s Day Out Tue, 5 Aug 2008 11:10:31 -0500
Each week, the Daily News profiles a locally owned business. Name of business: Dog’s Day Out Location: 4800 Sunnyside Gott Road Type of business: Boarding kennel, dog day care, dog training and grooming When did it open? 2007 Owners: Pam Brown and Angela Counts Number of employees: Seven Specialty: We provide a cage-free day care environment for the dogs. While staying with us for day care or overnight boarding services, the dogs get to run and play with other dogs. We separate dogs by size and often times personality. They are supervised for safety. Dogs have fun and are relaxed while at Dog’s Day Out. How did the business get started? Both of the owners have volunteered at the local Bowling Green-Warren County Humane Society for years. Angela and Pam are also both physical therapists. Through work with both dogs and people, we decided to start Dog’s Day Out in order to give Bowling Green an alternative to traditional dog boarding and care. We researched, planned and then started a place that we believe to be both safe and fun for dogs in the area. What is your background? As noted above, we both have several years experience volunteering for the local humane society. Pam is a graduate from Animal Behavior College making her a certified dog trainer. What are your biggest challenges as a business? Our biggest challenge so far has been keeping up with demand. We are getting ready to add on to our current facilities in order to accommodate more clients. The concept of Dog’s Day Out has been a big hit and we have grown very quickly. What’s your business philosophy? Look at things through the dog’s perspective. If the dogs are happy being with us, the owners know it from their behavior and are satisfied. When dogs come back to see us for a second visit, they run through the door ready to play. The owners love to see that. What issues are affecting your industry? As with many other small businesses these days, the economy affects what we are able to do. Gas prices seem to be affecting all aspects of the American life. We do the best we can, though, and continue to strive to please our clients (especially the ones with four legs). What are the factors that make your business successful? All the staff members truly care about the dogs. We are there to make sure the dogs are happy and safe. We also take pride in the extreme cleanliness of our facility. How do you handle competition? I am too busy working hard to worry much about what my competition is doing. As long as we are all in it for the community and the animals, there should be room enough for all of us to be successful in Bowling Green. What is your advice to someone thinking about opening a business? If you think you know how much time and hard work it takes to open and successfully operate your own business, think again. It takes endless time, effort, determination and dedication to open your own business. If you have a strong will and personality, then go for it because the rewards can be just as great. Also, know what your goals are, but be prepared to have to change them frequently as your business grows.
