More and more retirees are making the move to Owensboro Kentucky, says Owensboro Realtor Angela Clark. “The low-cost of living brings people to Owensboro, but it is the quality of life keeps people here” says Clark.
With a median home value less than $140,000, Owensboro is a one of the Ohio River Valley’s most affordable real estate markets. Combined with area amenities–quality healthcare, arts and entertainment, and affordable cost of living– the numbers of transferees and retirees discovering Owensboro Kentucky is expected to continue to rise, says Clark.
Clark says relocation has always been a large part of her real estate sales, but she is working increasingly with seniors and retirees looking for a more seasonal climate and the best use of their retirement dollars in housing. Clark works alongside a team of professionals, local certified public accountants and planning attorneys, to offer assistance at all levels to seniors and retirees.
