Key Points
- For Sellers, there is not a lot of good news here. The number of homes sold in this area of Louisville is well off from last year and average sales price is much lower than last year and the past few months. Additionally, both inventory and absorption rate are up considerably. If you expect your home to sell in this area, you need to be realistic from the start. Call a Louisville real estate agent who understands how to help you prepare, price, and promote your home.
- Buyers should take note that many sellers are being aggressive from the start, but not giving a lot after that. Have your agent check comps to verify the price is right and then present a reasonable offer. With the selection available, you should be able to find the home you really want. Don't let it get away over if it is priced well.
- Buyers and Sellers should both be aware that part of the reduction in sales price is due to the infusion of new home owners. These buyers are taking advantage of the $8000 first-time home buyer tax credit and tend to purchase entry-level homes.
