Key Points

1. Another solid month of sales!  At the beginning of the year, sales were off 30% from last year.  During the last the months, the number of homes sold in this area of Louisville is only down by 10%.  Clearly confidence is returning to the Louisville housing market.  This area has been a little slower to recover as prices tend to exclude first-time home buyers.  However, as more trade-up consumers enter the market, sales will continue to improve.  Area 8 is a highly desirable section of Louisville and a good number of people are activiely looking to buy here.   
   
2. In these rapidly changing times, property valuation is critical and expertise is essential.  Sellers need to find a Louisville real estate agent who can help them price, prepare, and promote their home correctly.  Buyers also need a local expert who can help them find the ideal home and achieve a successful closing.
