    . THIS MONTH'S LOUISVILLE REAL ESTATE NEWS ARTICLE:

    Louisville Real Estate Report On Prices In Recent Years
    While the Louisville Kentucky real estate market was saved from the big spikes and drops that other cities had with the housing boom, Louisville home owners have had some housing heartaches. People in Kentucky are hoping for a real estate market upswing.

    Real estate sales in Louisville were highest in 2004, 2005, 2006 and 2007 with more than 10,000 houses selling per year during those years. Then in 2008 the year got off to a very bad beginning, and when spring and summer came, which is when sales tend to trend up, the amount of homes sold did not increase to normal summer sales amounts. Following that in the winter of 2009, the amount of houses sold per month was only a quarter of the total sold in the summer months of 2007. Then the tax credits began encouraging people to buy real estate again, and the sales rebounded. In 2010 and 2011 sales were steady. In 2008, 2009, and 2010 around 8000 houses sold per year in Louisville. Even though the market went through highs and lows in number of units sold, the average house sale has stayed between $157,705 - $167,065 in all years from 2008-2011. Louisville real estate advisors predict 2012 will not be considerably different regarding the number of houses for sale in Louisville Kentucky or the average sale price.

    There is good news to be reported also. The Louisville area has usually been a quite affordable place to live compared to the median income of residents. And the other positive news is that there are always plenty of homes to choose from. On average, about 11% of the houses for sale in Louisville sell each month, leaving 89% still for sale.

    To increase the chance of appealing to buyers, some home sellers are adding new carpet, new paint and new faucets and handles to set their houses apart from the competition for home buyers. A few years ago when houses sold in fewer days on market, buyers were less selective about the appearance of the house. They would buy a house with outdated paint or plumbing fixtures and then make the changes after purchasing the property. But with so many houses to choose from now, and properties being on the market longer, buyers want a home that is move in ready. Most real estate consultants agree that updated homes sell quicker than similar houses that are outdated. Still, the most influential element is price and competition which varies by neighborhood. If the supply of homes for sale in Louisville is more than demand, price will be affected. Therefore when attempting to sell a house in a certain neighborhood, the amount of homes for sale now and the amount of houses sold in an area should be looked at frequently and adjustments made to the price of the house accordingly. Homes that are priced correctly for the area will sell in any Louisville real estate market.

     

    HERE IS ONE OF MY BLOG ARTICLES ABOUT THE DIFFERENT AREAS OF THE NORTHERN KENTUCKY REAL ESTATE MARKET AND SOUTHERN INDIANA AND LOUISVILLE HOUSES FOR SALE

    Heidi and her team made this site for you about Louisville real estate. Heidi Fore and her realty team of agents are real estate professionals who enjoy helping people find Louisville Kentucky homes for sale. Heidi Fore works with a group of other Louisville homes professionals called the River Valley Group. If you are searching for a Louisville Kentucky house, contact our professional group of specialists. Heidi Fore is a licensed Indiana and Kentucky real estate agent with Keller Williams Realty Louisville East 5025549500 and Keller Williams Realty Southern Indiana 8129447024 and this is an information website for Louisville Ky homes.Call 502-265-5818 to find your new Louisville house. People love Louisville because there are always things to do in Louisville like fun community festivals and great parks for running and bike riding. If you are thinking about moving to Louisville, ask a River Valley Group agent for our relocation guide, then click around this site to find out where to get information on the best schools, best restaurants in Louisville to try while you are in town to look at houses or downtown condos. Many people find it helpful to spend an afternoon driving around neighborhoods like The Highlands, Lake Forest, Polo Fields, Prospect Ky, Hurstbourne, Springhurst, Waterfront Park Place, Anchorage, Middletown, St Matthews and neighborhoods in Oldham County too.

    People love living in Southern Indiana because of the close knit communities, friendly attitudes, and less expensive neighborhoods. In your quest on the web as you are trying to find Louisville homes for sale, remember that Southern Indiana communities are only 10 minutes from Louisville. Just across the I-65 bridge from Louisville Ky houses for sale you'll find wonderful Jeffersonville Indiana homes for sale. If you ask around and you'll find that the Jeffersonville Indiana real estate market is quite affordable, especially compared to the Louisville KY homes for sale, and it is an easy commute to downtown. And just north of Jeffersonville Indiana you'll find exquisite Floyds Knobs homes for sale. Just over the I-64 bridge from downtown Louisviille you'll see the New Albany Indiana homes. As you can tell, you have many communities close by, so you don't have to limit your search only to a house in Louisville Ky. The only downside to living in Southern Indiana is that the bridges can be traffic bottle-necks in the mornings as you might imagine.

    Less than two hours away,many people move to the bigger city of Cincinnati Oh in search of even more opportunities for employment, more things to do, more schools, more places to eat, and a football professional sports team and a baseball professional sports team. And then many people move from the greater Cincinnati area including Northern Kentucky to Louisville and Southern Indiana. If your home search takes you to Northern Kentucky, across the river from Cincinnati Ohio, our River Valley Group real estate team can assist you there too. We have agents who specialize in Florence Kentucky real estate. And if you haven't heard this yet the Florence Ky real estate market is turning around, therefore this is a great time to shop for a house there. Our Northern Kentucky real estate market center is located in Fort Mitchell Kentucky, so we have experience in finding Ft Mitchell homes for sale also. If you need to be closer to Cincinnati Oh, then you could ask one of our northern Kentucky real estate agents about Fort Thomas homes for sale. Ft Thomas Ky is a darling city near the bridge to Cincinnati, an easy commute to downtown. As with the Southern Indiana traffic mentioned previously, you could add an extra 20-30 minutes to your commute to Cincinnati some mornings from Northern Kentucky if you are trying to get across the main 71-75 bridge between 7:00-9:00am. Traffic could be a problem from the bridge up to the Fort Mitchell exit in Northern Kentucky. Most of the time you can get across the bridge easily from Florence Ky or Ft Mitchell Kentucky to downtown Cincinnati.
