This is the only place to find my Louisville KY home sales chart updated each and every month! I’m looking at the total number of homes sold by the month. It’s important to look at the data this way to compare sales from the same month but in different years. This data is only for homes sold in Jefferson County, which makes up the bulk of Louisville. Even though most think of Louisville, Kentucky as more than just Jefferson County, that is what this particular chart covers. I also publish Louisville KY Average Home Price each month if you are interested.
Louisville KY Home Sales Chart
This Louisville KY home sales chart includes all the home sales for each specified month within the boundaries of Jefferson County, Kentucky. It’s also all homes, so we’re including condominiums, as well as, single-family residences, farms, and even auctions.
As you can see from the chart above, home sales in Louisville are at their highest point during the Summer months. This makes sense as children are out of school so it makes it a more convenient time for house hunting. After August, sales will decline toward the end of the calendar year. January is typically the slowest month for home sales while July is often the busiest.
Please note: It’s important to analyze Louisville home sales from similar months. For example, comparing June 2022 with June 2023 rather than comparing June with May, as seasonal factors have a great effect on home sales. Weather plays a large role in real estate sales.

Home Sales Data Comes from GLAR
The data used for this chart, and others on my site, comes from the Greater Louisville Association of Realtors (GLAR). While this date is believed to be accurate and reliable, it is not guaranteed.
All Louisville home buyers should protect their interests by working with an expert Realtor. There are many aspects to a real estate transaction, including the professional evaluation of a property’s value. You do not want to head down the road of purchasing a home only to find it was overpriced. Purchasing a Louisville home without representation is becoming an increasingly dangerous proposition, especially with the new financing laws that went into effect in 2015.
Data Analytics
There are many ways to evaluate properties. It takes an experienced eye to identify the outliers and spot the trends. I’ve provided this basic overview via the Louisville KY Home Sales Chart for a couple of reasons. First, the larger the sample size the more reliable the results. Even though there are more than a million people in the city, only a small fraction of these people will buy or sell their Louisville in a given year. Second, having the data in chart form communicates the information more effectively to most people.
