 I'm your host, Shannon Deskins, along with Jennifer Brown Day. Jennifer, it's summer. School is out. It's finally here. After that winter we had, I think everybody's super excited to see the sun. Yeah, the winter and then the rain and then all the everything that came with it. That being said, and people are busting loose right now because school's out. Are you seeing more people want to look at houses? Oh, absolutely. And I already tell that people are out looking more. They're out looking more during the day. We're getting a lot more evening showings. And then of course weekends are always popular. So we're getting a lot of weekend showings where everybody's got off work and it's a little bit easier. But even without you guys showing, if somebody's out driving, because people like a particular area. And if they see one of your signs in their yard, call that number and then you guys can go from there. Absolutely, absolutely. We can help them. We recommend people drive by and look at listings because location has a lot to do with whether or not you're going to be interested in the end. So definitely if you have an interest in your out looking, drive by some of the ones that you think may be on your list to look potentially. Alright, well today we've got some houses definitely worth driving by and taking that look at. Absolutely. The first one, let's start out right here in Pikeville. Now this one is on Zebulun Heights. This is on Zebulun Heights. Actually on the left side of Zebulun Heights and that's called Boulder's East. And that is directly across from the red light going over to Town Mountain Road. So if you're going up 119 Buckleys Creek, people know it as Buckleys Creek. You get to the top of the hill where you can turn right to go downtown mountain back into Pikeville. You can turn left and it's the houses up on the hill. Correct, correct. And that is a great location. It is. It's a very convenient location. You are just out of the city limits. And a lot of people find that attractive. Exactly. You don't have that. And then you are literally right over the hill from Pike Central School in Mullins Elementary. So you're a very good location to the school systems as well. And then a little bit farther in and you're at Cassidy Boulevard for all the shopping, the new Pikeville Commons, all of that. So literally you're within three or four minutes from all of that. Absolutely. It's very convenient. And I was surprised when I saw these pictures because there's a lot of space with this house. There is. A lot of people haven't driven up there and they don't know how much space comes with these properties. The houses look like they kind of sit right there on the hill. But this house has a very nice outdoor area. You've got an in-ground pool. You've got a large patio. And then you have a fenced yard space that is good sized. So you've got privacy and a lot of space and we just talked about summer. We were starting off with the in-ground pool. Exactly, exactly. It's a great house for celebrating the summer in that pool and having a grill out and whatever else you would want to do in the backyard. And it's large enough for a good sized family, four bedrooms and two and a half bathrooms. That's correct. It's a four bedroom home and it has a very open concept on the first floor. So you have a formal living room which actually has, it's kind of a multi-purpose room. You could use it for different, if you wanted an office, if you wanted a formal dining. It has a couple different ways you could use it. And then the entire back of the house is an open family room with a gas fireplace into a spacious kitchen that has an eating area. And it's all open. It's also all open with windows to the backyard that we talked about before. So great for entertaining, great for families, close to the school system. Definitely want to look at this one on Zebulun Heights. Absolutely. All right, the MLS number on this house and this number is very important, 105440. And Jennifer, this one's listed under $300,000. Yeah, this one's actually listed at 279 and this is a brand new listing this week. So this is one that if you have any interest in, definitely give us a call. This one I bet won't last long. I hope not. Well, you're the realtor. You're supposed to say that. Exactly. Now, the next home we're going to talk about is a little bit farther on 119 in the Hatfield community. Correct. This house is one that has been listed for a little bit of time, but it's one that really, really people need to look at. It's in great condition. It's a two-bedroom that actually has space for a third bedroom. It technically doesn't have a closet, so we don't count it. But it has a very functional third bedroom and then one full bath. And he has upgraded the house with new windows, new flooring. It's got new bathroom. You know, he's really taken the time and put some love into the house. These are the ones that are hard for people to let go of, but a treasure for the people that do find them. Exactly, exactly. You know, and I'm seeing that it's got a lot of privacy. And this is on Brushy Hollow in the Hatfield area, right? Yeah, this is on Brushy Hollow. And if you're familiar with that area, Brushy Hollow isn't that long of a road. So this actually sits right at the end. It's one of our last houses in the Hollow, so you do have a lot of privacy. It sits on about 0.7 acres, so you do have yard space. And then he's got multiple carports, storage space, and then you have, again, a lot of yard. So definitely, if somebody is a nature lover and they don't want a lot of neighbors and they kind of want to be a little secluded, this is one to look at. Absolutely, absolutely. And again, this is one that he takes a lot of pride in his house. So if you want that area, this is definitely a house to look at. All right, if you want to look at this one in the Hatfield area in Pike County, 1-0-3-7-1-0, and Jennifer, it's a great price. $79,000. Yeah, it's listed right under $80,000. And again, it's a great listing. Something that really people should consider if they want that area. All right. Like I said, 1-0-3-7-1-0 for that listing. Now, this one we're going to talk about has just been reduced. This one's not downtown Pikeville, but in the city limits of Pikeville. It is. This is right off Cedar Creek Road. We've actually had it on the show before, so this is a little bit of a repeat. But with the price reduction, we, of course, wanted to let everybody know what that reduction was because it was a fairly decent size reduction. They reduced it about $15,000. So this is one that people really need to consider. It's off Cedar Creek Road on Honeysuckle Drive. Now, refresh my mind, going up Cedar Creek from Pikeville, off the Boulevard as you go, and it's Cedar Creek, it is on the left. It's on the left. Before the intersection to Cedar Hills, just before that intersection. Correct, correct. So you'll take a left-hand turn. You'll take a left-hand turn, and then as you go up Honeysuckle Drive, this house is going to come up on your right. Of course, our sign is in the yard, so it should be fairly easy to spot. And it's a contemporary style house. You can see that in the pictures that are scrolling. But you can also see on the interior pictures, it is a very traditional, comfortable style home on the inside. I love the picture with the fireplace because it shows the brick, the brick wall. I mean, that just screams warmth to me in the wintertime. Exactly, and that brick fireplace is surrounded by built-in shelving. It has a lot of those custom type touches throughout the house. And the great thing about this part of Cedar Creek is you're getting in a very popular neighborhood in Pikeville, but you're off the main road just a little bit back. There's a cul-de-sac at the end of that. There's a cul-de-sac, and you don't have that through traffic. So that's a major plus for the Honeysuckle area. Now, one thing I noticed about this is they've recently put a new roof on. Now, that right there says a lot because it's a hassle when you do put a roof on. But when you do and you can say, oh, wow, I don't have to worry about this for 10, 15 years. Exactly. It's a little bit of a safety knowing that. And of course, we always recommend people get inspections to make sure everything's done correctly. But assuming that, you know, one of those major items is completed on a house that was built in the 80s is definitely a good thing. Right, but when they did the new roof, they did new gutters. And they have upgraded quite a few things in this home. They have. They've done a lot of new light fixtures. They've uploaded some electrical work. They did a very nice sized patio in the backyard. And the layout of this house, the entire back of the house is a sunroom. So it's got windows and doors access to the backyard, which is a privacy fenced off backyard. And now you have a nice patio that they've added out there. That's important to a lot of people to know there's a lot of sunlight coming into a home. Absolutely. And this one has a lot. You actually have, I don't guess they're technically skylights, but windows you can see on the front picture that are actually in the foyer that keep the foyer very well lit up as well. It's a very sunlight friendly house. All right. And this one is right off of Main Cedar Creek Road on Honeysuckle Drive 104973 is that MLS number. And Jennifer, you mentioned the price being reduced. We're down to under $355,000. Yeah, this was just reduced to $349,000. Okay. Definitely want to take a look at that one. If you're looking for anything inside the Pikeville City Limits. Now, let's go to another popular neighborhood in Pikeville. Let's go from Cedar Creek up on top to Chloe Ridge. To Chloe Ridge. This one is one that, well, again, we have discussed it before on the show. This is a very, very nice house. That neighborhood, it's a gated neighborhood. It's an executive neighborhood. This one is priced at $599 and offers four bedrooms, three full buys, and you have a third floor rec room with this house, which is a little added amenity that some of the other ones don't have. And this one has the wow factor. Beautiful big area around this pool. Yes. And it's pretty much patioed the entire way around the pool. It also has a screen and porch area right off the pool. So you have, you know, during fall and spring, which will get into fall sooner or later, but you can also enjoy the outdoors and have a little bit of bug protection, which is always good. Right. And those who don't like weed eating and yard work are going to love this back patio area because they, the owners now took care of that by pretty much putting concrete everywhere. Yes. And it's, again, it's very, if you like having, you know, your kids friends over, if you like having your own friends over for outdoor activities for the pool, that kind of stuff. This is a great property because like you said, there's not a whole lot of outdoor maintenance, but it is a gorgeous way to enjoy the outdoors of this house. And pay attention when the picture of the pool comes up on your screen because that view, it's one of those that, that you see a lot of out west and the houses and Beverly Hills and things like that. They have these, it's like endless, you know, look over and you have got the greatest view of the mountains. Which is a positive. This is a great one to look at. $599,000. This one is on East Khloe Ridge. Drive the area, Jennifer says, that's one of the things they recommend. Get out and drive it. When you see that red brand of Williams sign in the yard, there's a phone number on it. Give her a call. Now all these today are your listings. These are all my listings, yes. So let's run over your, your phone number and your email address real fast. The phone number at the office is 606-437-2333. The email is jbrown at rbnw.com. Okay, now if you want to come and look at this house, when you give Jennifer a call, you're inquiring about 105-078. That's the Khloe Ridge house. All right, let's close the show out a little bit different. Let's go to Elkhorn City. Yup, back out. Back out into the county. Let's just go ahead and say it. We're going to go up Elkhorn Creek a couple of miles. Yes, we are. And we are actually going to, close to where the Snack Shack is. So if everybody's excited to word Elkhorn, they're also going to be excited that we're at the Snack Shack. Snack Shack is a very popular restaurant to eat at. It is. And when you're in some of the county areas, it's a whole lot easier to give some of those places. The landmark thing. Exactly, exactly for directions. So this, it sits on Robinson Road, which is the road that has actually accessed right behind that. Okay, so for those of you who aren't familiar with this area, but you're looking for a well-priced great home, this one maybe you want something for you. You get to Elkhorn City, you make a ride at the only red light in town, and it's about two and a half, maybe two miles, something up there on the right. And you'll see Snack Shack, and you'll definitely eat well if you buy a house. And then Robinson Road goes up the hill right behind it. And that's where this house is located. It's about the, I want to say this is the third house on the left, off the top of my head. So it's not very far up in there. And this is something that we're going to consider an investment property. This house is in need of some TLC. The sellers are very much aware of that. I'm not saying anything out of the way. But it does need some work. But they've priced it to allow for that. So it's priced at $35,000. It's a two-bedroom, one-bath. It includes a carport and storage space. And again, this would be a great investment property for anybody that does rentals or wants to fix up houses for flips or anything like that in the Elkhorn City area. And the Elkhorn City area is a great little community. Look at how close you walk to the brakes. You know, I'm imagining somebody who's really outdoors and likes to spend a lot of time hiking, fishing. The Russell Fork River is right there. Great fishing and venture opportunities. Absolutely. My mind is going crazy of all the people that would love to spend $35,000 in Elkhorn City and get a renting home. Exactly, exactly. And this has that options. Now, the other thing with this, and I believe we've talked about it before, but this house is being sold as is. There's no guarantees on any of the systems in the house, which is typical verbiage for a foreclosure house in this area. This isn't technically a foreclosure, but it does have the same verbiage attached to it. So, if anybody is like me and their mind is kind of going right now, give you a call. Show them this house. Oh, absolutely. Absolutely. And this one's your listing also? This is our listing also out of the Pockville office.

Any of those can be found on their website. Well, Jennifer, we're going to take a break. I'm going to step out and let you do your real estate minute. In today's real estate market, many real estate companies will tell you the market is slow or it is much more difficult to buy or sell a property now than it was a few years ago.

Finding a real estate company and specifically a real estate agent who understands today's market is an important first step in buying or selling. For example, did you know more real estate was sold in East Kentucky Association of Relators in 2014 than ever in the history of this association?
