We have had a remarkable<\/em> year for home sales here in Louisville. I’ve talked before about how extremely, low inventory levels<\/strong> are but despite that, we’re on the verge of surpassing<\/em> last year’s incredible total.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Chart
For the year, Louisville home sales are higher than last year. But not<\/em> in every price tier. I’m looking to see which homes are selling the fastest<\/strong>\u00a0here in Louisville, Kentucky.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

In fact, we’re on pace to break the Louisville all-time, home sales record…<\/strong>\u00a0this with less than 3 months of home inventory for buyers to choose from. But apparently, this fact hasn’t stopped them!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our year-to-date, cumulative days on market is down<\/em> to just 66 days. This is for all homes\u2014condos, single family, good condition, terrible shape\u2014in our city. Last year at this time the value was 79 days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As I was thinking about this, a question came to mind. We already know that the bulk of home sales are near the median value but I wanted to see if that changed from last year to this, given our ever-falling inventory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thus, the chart at the start of this article was born.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Which Homes Are Selling the Fastest<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Other than the half-million dollar homes plus (and percentage-wise the $100,000 to $150,000 tier), each segment changed, some rather significantly<\/em>. Here are the raw numbers used to create the home sales chart above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 <\/td>2016<\/strong><\/td>2015<\/strong><\/td>Change<\/strong><\/td><\/tr>
< $49,999<\/strong><\/td>660<\/td>822<\/td>-19.7%<\/td><\/tr>
$50,000-$99,999<\/strong><\/td>1510<\/td>1626<\/td>-7.1%<\/td><\/tr>
$100,000-$149,999<\/strong><\/td>2418<\/td>2352<\/td>2.8%<\/td><\/tr>
$150,000-$199,999<\/strong><\/td>1895<\/td>1656<\/td>14.4%<\/td><\/tr>
$200,000-$249,999<\/strong><\/td>1207<\/td>1101<\/td>9.6%<\/td><\/tr>
$250,000-$299,999<\/strong><\/td>910<\/td>744<\/td>22.3%<\/td><\/tr>
$300,000-$399,999<\/strong><\/td>904<\/td>807<\/td>12.0%<\/td><\/tr>
$400,000-$499,999<\/strong><\/td>404<\/td>337<\/td>19.9%<\/td><\/tr>
$500,000+<\/strong><\/td>384<\/td>356<\/td>7.9%<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

We can see that homes priced from $250,000 to $299,999 saw the largest increase<\/em> in sales. While the least expensive homes, those under $50,000, saw almost 20% fewer sales. This is in large part to there being far fewer of these homes available for sale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, at this time last year, there were 110 active listings<\/strong> priced $50,000-59,999 in Jefferson County. This year there are just<\/em> 77, for a 23.6% drop. The same is true for all the price tiers below $159,999. It’s only when we go above this point to we see higher inventory this year, compared to last.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We’ve basically bought up all the best lowest price options available.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
