🏡 So…what’s really going on with the Louisville housing market?
Here’s the good news for buyers: you finally have more houses to choose from.
Greater Louisville had 4,490 homes for sale in August — that’s 33% more inventory than we had a year ago.
That’s a pretty significant change.
And while more inventory gives buyers more options, we’re not seeing home values fall off a cliff either.
Here’s what the numbers are telling us:
➡️ Inventory: Up 33%
➡️ New listings: Up 3.5%
➡️ Median sales price: $300,000 — up 1.2%
➡️ August closed sales: Down 7.3% from last year
➡️ Year-to-date closed sales: Still up 4.2%
➡️ Year-to-date new listings: Up 13.9%
My takeaway?
The Louisville market is starting to give buyers something they haven’t had enough of in recent years: options.
You don’t necessarily have to see a house on Tuesday and decide by Tuesday night that you’re marrying it. 😂
For sellers, though, this doesn’t mean you can throw a number on the house and wait for the offers to roll in. With buyers having more choices, pricing, condition and presentation matter.
And for buyers, more inventory means we can be a little more strategic about finding the right property instead of simply trying to win the property.
Bottom line: more choices for buyers, relatively stable values for homeowners, and a market that’s becoming a little more balanced.
Of course, real estate is LOCAL. What’s happening in Louisville overall may be very different from what’s happening on your street.
If you’re wondering what your neighborhood is doing — whether you’re thinking about buying, selling, investing, or you’re just curious — give me a call. Let’s look at the actual numbers.
