Louisville Market Watch

Louisville Real Estate Update: March 2017

As I predicted last month, March performed quite well! Better than February in most areas to be sure.

Map of Louisville MLS Areas

We have charts for each of the GLAR MLS areas. Some are monthly, the rest quarterly. Click the map to enlarge and see where your Louisville home is located.

Finally some listings are starting to trickle onto the market. Just a few more than listings sold but I’ll take what I can get.

In this edition of the Louisville Real Estate Update, MLS Area 8, which contains Middletown, Douglass Hills, Hurstbourne and part of Anchorage had great sales in March. This, even while prices moved much higher. Very strong.

Oldham County continues to lag behind. Higher priced homes are taking longer to sell but not terribly so. Modestly priced homes are flying off the shelves!

Decent March here in Louisville for home sales. Given our pathetic housing inventory, it’s a surprise we’re even seeing these kind of numbers. Just imagine what might happen if more homeowners decided to list?

Prices didn’t change from February to March but year-over-year numbers are insane. In some places as high as 10%! That just doesn’t happen in Louisville.
