Louisville Real Estate Market Update

Below is a quick overview of the current Louisville real estate market. Numbers and statistics are gathered from the Greater Louisville Association of Realtors® (GLAR) for January 2024.

Is it a Buyers Market or Sellers Market?

It is currently a Sellers Market. The absorption rate for January was 1.9 months. What is an absorption rate? This is an indication of how many months of inventory we currently have. You need between 4-6 months of inventory to be in a balanced market.

Housing Inventory

What is Happening in the Market?  Looking at the statistics further from the Greater Louisville MLS, the data shows that homes continue to sell quickly at 47 days on market. This is slightly down compared to last year when the average DOM was 51. There are still a lot of questions about how the real estate market will look going into the spring and summer months. 

Showing Activity

Activity and showings overall for the year are down from last year. The most recent report shows a 10.6% decrease in showings compared to this time last year. Statistically, we see spring and summer as strong months for Buyer activity. So it is common to see showing activity down during the winter months. The 12-month average is down -13.4%.
