Monthly Summary For The Housing market In The St Matthews Neighborhood In Louisville, KY


It's not been a great month, or year, legitimate estate in the St Matthews area of Louisville, KY. Over yesteryear twelve months, with a few natural variation, we view asking prices for St Matthews homes lose value while a numerical indicator from the area's real estate health declined about 33%!

Using numbers supplied by Altos Research, we are able to track a variety of statistics within our local marketplaces, which is precisely what I have accomplished for single homes currently for sale in 40207, that we loosely make reference to as St. Matthews. When using data from Altos Research, I have the choice of using data points collected every week, which may create a very active and unappealing chart with lots of ups and downs. Or, when i did, I can take a look at a rolling trend line, which is achieved by averaging the weekly data points over a 90-day period, that has caused by smoothing the graph out, and producing a more visually understandable product.

One year ago, this assortment of homes within the St Matthews housing market were built with a median asking price around $283,000, give or take. Over the wintertime and heading into early 2010, that number rose considerably until the median asking point passed $310,000. Since that time, however, it has been almost all not so good news with values falling very rapidly to $275,000 or even a little below that mark, which is where we stand let's focus on a loss of about $10,000 from this time this past year.

Another statistic I chart may be the Median Market Action Index (MAI), which is a assortment of other indicators, such as prices, days on market, inventory, etc... all rolled into one number, which then measures the overall health from the marketplace. Sadly, for St Matthews homes, the report doesn't seem to be very positive. When reading the MAI, a value of 30 represents a neutral market, with lower numbers indicating any market and anything above 30 reserved for a Seller's Market. Last October, in 2009, the MAI stood at almost 18.5, strongly within the Buyer's Market category. There is a large amount of movement since that time, but unfortunately the majority of it has been declining movement, with the most recent measurement arriving at 12.5, an enormous swing of just about %33!

Two other data points to trace while reporting on St Matthews properties for sale should be inventory levels and how long those homes are looking at the market. Of course, I have tracked both and not surprisingly let you know that both measurements are moving in the wrong direction, a minimum of if you're a home seller and want to see some balance available on the market. One last year, there were approximately 153 properties for sale in 40207, give or take several. In early spring of 2010, that number fell to below 130 units, but since then, it has been almost a straight show up, with the most recent measurements coming in around 240, that is in regards to a 60% increase in the number of homes turning up for sale in St Matthews in the last 12 months.

The Days On Market (DOM) measurement may not be quite as depressing as the inventory levels, but its still nothing to brag about. Last year's measurement started off around 127 days, rose to 180 days normally, before we saw a sizable reduction in times because the Federal Tax Credit expired, with measurements falling all the way to 135 days on the market. But the last few weeks and months have experienced homes starting to have a bit longer, which can't come as a surprise whenever we see inventory levels shooting up so quickly. There simply aren't enough buyers to create up for that glut of homes obtainable in the St Matthews housing market.
