I didn’t see that coming! Jefferson County home sales up 9% in October? Are you kidding me?
After a year where sales trailed the previous year, it was expected to follow through into the Holidays. But Louisville home buyers weren’t having any of that.
There were 905 homes sold in Louisville during October 2014 compared to just 830 a year ago. That’s good for a 9.04% improvement, the biggest of the year!
Following are the stats for each month of the past two years.
Jefferson County Home Sales
2013 2014
Jan 589 540
Feb 581 579
Mar 757 709
Apr 920 815
May 1022 934
Jun 1009 1073
Jul 1060 1020
Aug 1128 1143
Sep 964 854
Oct 830 905
So maybe 2014 won’t turn out as down as previously thought. There’s simply no way for us to catch the complete total for 2013 of 10,409 where we sit at 8,572. We’d have to average 918 homes sold during the final two months of the year to pull that out.
But after the first five months of the year, this outcome is much better than expected.
