Jefferson County Housing Market Report
What a crazy month! The coronavirus is all over the news and many businesses have been told to close their doors by State and National officials. So far, this hasn’t greatly affected real estate here in Louisville, Kentucky. But it certainly will, at least in the short term.
The median home price for sales in March was $194,000. This is an increase of over $182,250 for February. When comparing this number with last year’s March, we see an 11.3% increase. That’s huge!
Looking at home sales for the Louisville real estate market, there were 916 homes sold in March. This is a 4.2% decline year-over-year. Things are definitely slowing down.
