About Kimberly Brunson

Kimberly Brunson, principal broker/owner of Hunter Real Estate acquired her Kentucky Real Estate Sales Associate License in 1998, her Kentucky Broker’s license in 2001, and her Florida Broker’s license in 2018. From the founding of Hunter Real Estate in 2001, Kimberly focused her attention on the effective marketing, listing, and disposition of foreclosed residential properties in the central Kentucky area. Kimberly works diligently to remove the stigma of these less-than-perfect homes and puts as much effort into marketing the unique appeal of each home as an agent or broker would a more typical listing. Kimberly’s marketing approach has earned her listings with Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae, VA, USDA, and HUD, in addition to numerous national and international lenders. Kimberly and her husband John divide their time between their home in Lexington, Kentucky, and Panama City Beach, Florida.

State of the Market Central Kentucky and Florida Panhandle Areas

“I am the principal Broker of Hunter Real Estate,” said Brunson. “My main area of focus is Central Kentucky. I also have my Florida Brokers license and have experience in the Panhandle Area specifically Panama City Beach, Florida.”

Brunson added, “The market in Central Kentucky remains stable with modest growth in most areas.  I expect to see a slowdown in new home construction as building prices explode. There are more properties on the market now than earlier in the year.  These homes are taking longer to put under contract and potentially close depending on the interest rates.”

“Rising inflation created by everyday supplies along with utilities is hurting purchasing power.  The rising price of gasoline and now interest rates are making it difficult for first-time home buyers who want to purchase or for second home purchasers who want to move up,” she said.

Interest rates have affected the market. 

“With rising interest rates, I expect a slow down for the next few years. Variable rate interest loans that offer a lower introductory rate could come back into the market and cause homebuyers to have difficulty maintaining their future home payments,” she said.

 “I’ve been working with bank-owned homes, short sales, and Deed in Lieu of Foreclosure for more than 25 years.”
