Another month of waiting is behind us. What have we learned? Not much… we’re still waiting.
April 2011 for both Jefferson County and Oldham County fell below the 7-year trend line for home sales. Jefferson totaled 664 homes sold for the month, which trailed last year’s 782.

Oldham came in with 61 properties sold just under the 67 of 2010. On the plus side, it was enough to beat both 2008 (54) and 2009 (45).
