The first month of 2018 is already behind us, so today I will be going over a market recap for what we saw this January. I would also like to take a look back at our January 2017 market.
Thanks to all of you, 2017 was my company’s greatest year. I want to express from the bottom of my heart how much I truly appreciate all of your support, referrals, and business.
This year is already off to a great start. Inventory is still really low, with under 3,000 homes on the market as we speak. The average number homes on the market for this January was 3,472. In January of 2017, the average number of homes on the market was close to 4,000
As for absorption rate, we saw 2.28 months this January compared to 2.66 months in 2017.
The average sales price for January 2018 was $217,000, up from last year’s $195,000. This shortage of inventory is really causing prices to rise, which means it’s a great time to put your home on the market.
“
”
Thanks to all of you, 2017 was my company’s greatest year.
”
Homes this January spent an average of 64 days on the market, which is 10 days fewer than the average days on market last January.
The number of homes sold in January is relatively similar between 2017 and 2018, with 983 homes sold this year and 986 sold in 2017.
Also, interest rates are finally beginning to rise. They currently are sitting at about 4.115% with an APR of about 4.2%. The statistics for our rates have been provided by Statewide Mortgage, who I highly recommend for any of your real estate needs.
If you have any other questions or would like more information, feel free to give me a call or send me an email. I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Thank you all for your referrals and your business that has allowed us this growth. Now, back to our topic: How does the market from June 2019 compare to that of June 2018? Let’s take a look.

Get a free Home Value Report Whenever our team works with a seller, we always give them two options: They can either put their property on the market, or we can purchase it from them outright for cash. We recently worked with a seller who chose the latter, and they couldn’t have been happier with the results. In fact, we were able to offer more money than they were probably expecting. We can offer you this same convenient experience, too. Or, of course, we can always help you list on the open market, as well.

Today I’d like to tell you a story that demonstrates how excellent of a time it is to be a seller in our market. Buying a Louisville home? Get a full Home Search Selling your Louisville home? Get a free Home Value Report We’re coming to you today from a great home here on Duker Street. This property has an awesome story behind it that we’d like to share with you today. The owner of the property was a really nice lady who once gave us a call because she needed help: She didn’t know if she wanted to list the house on the market or sell it outright. Of course, the Dream J.P. Pirtle Realtors team always offers our sellers both options. “ Right now is a great time to sell your home. ” In the end, she didn’t want to list the home, so we ended up buying it from her. We were actually able to give her a lot more for it than she had even asked for in the first place, which made her very happy. This Duker Street home is in a great area right across from a school, and (even in the video above) you can even hear how happy the children here are. We may decide to rent it out, but that decision isn’t final. If you’d like to learn more about it, feel free to contact us! The moral of this story is that right now is a great time to sell your home— our spring inventory is very low, which means your home is in high demand, and interest rates are still historically low as well, meaning you’ll probably get more money for your home this year than you would have in any of the previous 10 years. The market is hot. If you need advice about selling your home or would like us to do a no-obligation, free comparative market analysis to help you find out what your home would be worth, reach out to us. We can either help you list your home on the market or make you an offer for it ourselves. I hope to hear from you soon!…
As we head into the summer, I wanted to bring you a quick update on the Louisville real estate market. Here’s what you need to know. Buying a Louisville home? Get a full Home Search Selling your Louisville home? Get a free Home Value Report As we head into the summer, I wanted to bring you some of the latest numbers from the Louisville real estate market in April and compare them to what we saw at this time last year. Here are some of the statistics I’ve been keeping my eye on: Home sales are down from 1,583 to 1,442 Our average sale price is up to $223,000 from $220,000 The average days on market stayed relatively flat, going up slightly to 64 from 62 The absorption rate sits at 2.48 months, which is up from the 2.33 months we saw last year Active listings are low, but they’re slowly creeping up. They sit at 3,687 currently, which is up from 3,554 last year The average interest rate for a 30-year mortgage has dropped back below 5% and now sits at 4.5% “ Interest rates have dropped back below 5% to 4.5%. ” Thanks to my great friends at Statewide Mortgage for providing me with the interest rate update. Last but not least, it’s time for our monthly quote. This month’s quote is: “If we ever forget that we are one nation under God, then we will be a nation gone under.” -Ronald Reagan. If you have any questions for me in the meantime or need any real estate help at all, don’t hesitate to reach out and give me a call or send me an email. I look forward to hearing from you.…
The latest news from our Louisville area market is here, so let’s review some of the most significant ways things have changed since last year. Buying a Louisville home? Get a full Home Search Selling your Louisville home? Get a free Home Value Report The weather is getting warm out there, and our real estate market is heating up, too. To demonstrate this, let’s review some year-over-year statistics from March of 2018 versus March of 2019. In March of 2018, 1,429 homes sold in our local market. This March, that number dropped down to 1,361. This may not be a significant change, but it does reflect some of the other developments we’ve observed— namely, the increases in inventory and average sales price. Inventory rose over this same 12-month period from 2.3 months’ worth of supply to about 2.45 months’ worth, leaving us with 3,500 active listings in March 2018 and 3,600 in March of this year. The average sales price, meanwhile, rose from $208,035 to $217,619. “ There are plenty of opportunities in our Louisville market right now, regardless of your real estate goals. ” Likely as a result of these changes, the average number of days that listings spent on the market in March also changed, going from 67 in 2018 to 75 in 2019. Last but not least is the matter of interest rates. Last March, the average interest rate for a 30-year fixed mortgage in our area was 4.4%. Interestingly enough, the average interest rate this March actually decreased, sitting at 4.33%. This is great news for anyone looking to buy, and our still-low inventory levels indicate favorable conditions for sellers, too. In short, our current market conditions are prime for buyers and sellers alike. There are plenty of opportunities in our Louisville market, regardless of your real estate goals. If you have any other questions or would like more information, feel free to give us a call or send us an email. We look forward to hearing from you soon.…
These seven seller tips are sure to make your home sale go off without a hitch. Buying a Louisville home? Get a full Home Search Selling your Louisville home? Get a free Home Value Report To sell your home for the highest possible price and in no time, your selling strategy should be comprised of these seven tips: 1. Clean the home top to bottom. Your home should sparkle to the point that eating off the floor doesn’t seem like a bit of a stretch. Buyers will take notice of a home that is spic and span, is freshly painted, and has carpet that looks good as new. "This is sure to earn you a great ROI." 2. Get rid of clutter and personal items. The more clutter that’s strewn about your home, the worse your chances of selling for top dollar are. Removing personal items and clutter will give buyers an unobstructed view of what the future could look like for them and their family in the home. It’ll be hard for them to do that if your family photographs are hanging on the walls. 3. Remove large furniture. Big, bulky furniture shrinks your home—at least that’s the way it’ll be perceived. To showcase as much of your home’s square footage as possible, think about relocating bigger items to storage in the meantime. Additionally, the furniture that you leave in the home should look new and fresh, so think about removing dated or ratty-looking furniture as well. “ Buyers will take notice of a home that’s spic and span, is freshly painted, and has carpet that looks good as new, and this is sure to earn you a great ROI. ” 4. Hire a professional real estate team. And yes, I mean “team.” Did you know the average agent in our area sells five homes or less each year? For our part, my team sells 400-plus homes year in and year out. Simply put, it’ll be of great benefit to you to work with a team that has a proven, repeatable system to sell homes. If you needed surgery on your back, would you hire a surgeon that does upward of 20 procedures of this kind per month, or the surgeon that does less than five a month? The answer seems obvious because it is. 5. Find a team that can create demand and has a great marketing plan. We spend $300,000 marketing our clients’ homes on a yearly basis, and with us, your home will appear on a TV advertisement two to three times every weekend until it’s sold! Through our digital marketing plan, you can count on us for professional photography and to maximize your home’s exposure on various social media platforms. 6. Find a team that has a trade program. Many move-up buyers have a home they need to sell, and if one of these buyers makes a winning offer on your home, we can buy their property for cash. 7. Price your home to sell. Your agent’s responsibility isn’t to tell you what you want to hear with regard to your home’s value, it’s to be forthright about what price you should set it at so that you’ll earn top dollar on your home sale. If you plan to buy or sell a home soon or for any advice related to real estate, feel free to give us a call at 502-458-2722. We’d be happy to come out and give you a free market analysis, and we look forward to speaking with you!…

How is the 2018 spring real estate market doing? I’ll compare this year’s numbers to last year’s and explain why you should list your home ASAP. Buying a Louisville home? Get a full Home Search Selling your Louisville home? Get a free Home Value Report Before we begin today's topic, I have an important message for anyone considering selling their home. Inventory in the Louisville area is lower than I have seen in over a decade. If you are considering putting your home on the market this summer, don’t delay. Now is an absolutely great time to put your house on the market. A lot of people say they are waiting for summer, but if I were you, I would highly recommend getting your market analysis and putting your house on the market ASAP. Don’t hesitate. Get your home on the market as soon as you can. Now, let’s get back to the numbers. It’s definitely a seller’s market. In March of 2018, there were about 1,389 home sales compared to over 1,600 homes in March of 2017. A lot of that has to do with inventory. “ This is the lowest level of housing inventory that I have seen in over a decade. ” This year, the average sales price was $210,000 compared to $194,000, so prices are up. The average days on market is 68, which dropped slightly from 72 days in March of 2017. The absorption rate in March of 2018 was 2.26 months opposed to 2.61 last year. Active listings decreased from nearly 4,000 last year to 3,473 in 2018. Last year was still low. Interest rates are going up. Last year they were around 4%, and this year, they are around 4.5%. That’s thanks to Keith Swisher and his team at Statewide Mortgage. They offer great terms, great rates, and are great people to work with when looking for your new home. A 4.5% rate is still pretty low. The quote of the month is from Pablo Picasso: “Action is the foundational key to all success.” Implement action and you will see results.

A lot of people are afraid to buy before they sell, or vice versa. Unfortunately, some people may not alert you to a contingency within a contract. Whether you’re a buyer or a seller, be sure to read things over carefully and make sure there’s nothing hidden in the fine print that you weren’t told about. One red flag to look out for is an offer with far-off closing dates. People who give themselves a long time to close sometimes do so because they’re hoping they can sell their home during this time, before they buy yours. If they don’t, they can wiggle out of the contract and get their deposit back by having their lender verify that their financing fell through. “ Read things over carefully and make sure there’s nothing hidden in the fine print. ” Personally, I don’t think this is exactly ethical. I think contingencies should be revealed up front. Since this isn’t always the case, though, be sure to have your agent check over your contract for contingencies. Contingencies absolutely must be in writing. The first writer refusal time frame is also important. If you, as a seller, get another offer within this time frame, the first buyer needs to make a decision about whether to put their offer in writing or not. I personally think 24 hours is plenty of time for this. Lastly, be aware of when inspections start on a contingency offer. My preference is to have inspections completed right away after acceptance, so that the deal can be solidified sooner rather than later.

Because of the hot competition we’re seeing lately in the market, escalation clauses have become much more common. Buying a Louisville home? Get a full Home Search Selling your Louisville home? Get a free Home Value Report Recently, we’ve been seeing a lot of escalation clauses in our market. But, what is in an escalation clause? An escalation clause is a buyer’s best and final offer. People have been making these kinds of offers for years, but recently they have become a lot more important. This is largely thanks to our being in seller’s market where competition is hot. Buyers right now don’t want to lose out on the right home, but they also don’t want to have to make excessively high offers. “ Setting a limit will help ensure that a buyer doesn’t pay a ridiculous amount. ” An escalation clause allows buyers to stipulate that they will pay up to a certain amount limit in order to beat out other offers. As an example, an escalation clause might state that a buyer will pay up to $1,000 over any other offer that is made. This cap means that buyers don’t need to be as worried about overpaying. Setting a limit will help ensure that a buyer doesn’t pay a ridiculous amount. Buyers must also be careful, though, to compare offers by the net sale price. In your escalation clause, ask to see the best and highest offer. If you have any other questions or would like more information, feel free to give me a call or send me an email.

Get a free Home Value Report The market continues to be strong in Louisville. To get more perspective, we’re going to look at the numbers we saw this June and compare them to the numbers we saw in June 2016. Let’s get to it. Inventory remains extremely low. Last year, the 5,000 homes we had on the market represented a huge need for more inventory, but it has since dropped even further. Right now, there are only about 4,300 homes on the market. Our absorption rate has dropped from 3.5 to under three months. “ Homes are selling faster and for more money on average. ” The average sale price has increased from $207,000 last June to $223,000 right now.

Our market is fantastic as far as home sellers are concerned. Homes are selling about a month faster than they did last year. Buying a Louisville home? Get a full Home Search Selling your Louisville home? Get a free Home Value Report It’s almost summertime here in Louisville. I hope everyone won a bunch of money at the Derby recently. Today I’d like to discuss a quick market recap. I’ve got the latest numbers from April 2017 and I’m going to compare them with what we saw in April 2016. Our market is doing great as you may have heard, but there is a growing problem. I’m talking about the lack of inventory for buyers to choose from. This isn’t a problem for sellers, but it makes things much more difficult for buyers. We sold 1,500 homes in April 2016, but only sold 1,380 this April. The average sale price has shot up from $186,000 to $202,000 in the last year as well. “ Our active listings are at a historically low level. ” We are seeing big changes in the average days on market, which is down from 82 in April 2016 to just 58 days right now. Homes are moving a whole lot faster, even if there haven’t been as many of them. The absorption rate, or how long it would take to just sell off the current inventory if nothing else came on the market, is down to about 2.5 months this year from 3.36 months in April 2016. Our active listings are at a historically low level. We only had 4,800 last April, but now that number has dropped even further to 3,800. Interest rates are up from last year but are holding stable for now. They’re right around 4.5% right now for a 30-year fixed rate, which is up about 1% from last year. If you need more information about where rates are today, we’d love to connect you with our preferred lender. If you have any questions for me, give me a call or send me an email. I would love to hear from you. Quote of the month: “There is only one small letter between the words can and can’t. That one letter will totally change your life.” -Fireball.…
