Driven by increased entrepreneurial activity, a thriving downtown and hot real estate activity, financial professionals in Greater Louisville and Southern Indiana are busy and well equipped to manage the $25 billion-plus in deposits in Jefferson County alone.
The Greater Louisville Association of Realtors (GLAR) reported in spring 2018 that the median price for homes was up nearly 6 percent from March 2017 as inventory continues to be low: 11.4 percent less than last spring. Homes are going under contract very quickly and the competition is cutthroat, keeping lenders across Greater Louisville and Southern Indiana very busy.
Also, Pat Durham, executive vice president of the Building Industry Association of Greater Louisville, noted in a GLAR press release that building permits also are up significantly, indicating construction activity is on the rise.
The Kentucky Bankers Association President/CEO Ballard Cassady pointed out that the passage of the federal Tax Cuts and Jobs Act will promote growth in the financial sector, and cause an uptick in both small and large business loans.
“In turn, increased hiring and higher wages should stimulate the economy,” he said. “We expect merger and acquisition strategies to increase in this new environment.”
One of Louisville’s most longstanding and reputable financial operations, 160-year-old wealth management firm Hilliard Lyons, recently went through a new brand positioning rollout.
Small businesses can find support in Greater Louisville. Entities like the city’s Metropolitan Business Development Corp., StartupLouisville, Venture Connectors, Kentucky Angels and many more invest in hundreds of companies, injecting millions of dollars into the economy.
