The Sunday front page of the Courier-Journal talked about suicide in the military, health care choices facing employees, and a former state official charged with 6 counts of wanton endangerment.
It is getting difficult to find something on the front page that relates to the local real estate market each week.
The best item on the front page which related to real estate was the advertisement at the bottom of the page marketing Porter paints. Since I'm painting my own home after three years of living there this was the best reference I can use for real estate.
Below you will find some numbers which compare the number of properties marketed in the local paper versus the number of properties listed by Realtors in the local marketplace. This may help PAINT THE PICTURE that thousands of homes for sale in Louisville Kentucky, Elizabethtown Kentucky, and southern Indiana are marketed in places besides the local printed newspaper.
This weekend our local market had close to 13,400 single family homes and condos listed by hundreds of local real estate agents. The listings on the market included most of the homes for sale in Louisville and Jefferson County Kentucky. They also included New Albany real estate, and Elizabethtown homes for sale.
These numbers do not include for sale by owner properties, just homes listed by Realtors and brokers.
Approximately 330 single family homes and condos were marketed in the Sunday Section J of the Courier-Journal. Some were marketed has open houses in Jefferson County and surrounding areas. 131 of the ads had one photo of the home. 159 had no photos of the home. The rest were just one liners noting address, price, bed, baths and little else.
When you do the math comparison of single family homes and condos on the market versus those shown in the newspaper, the percentage is approximately 2.5% of the homes in the area.
If you work with a Realtor, they have access to all the homes in the marketplace. If you drive around and look at all the yard signs then you have access to all the homes for sale in the market. If you look at homes for sale on the Internet, then you will probably see close to 99% of the homes for sale in the marketplace.
As resources go for finding your dream home in Louisville KY, Elizabethtown KY, Radcliff KY, Mt. Washington KY, New Albany IN, Jeffersonville IN or places far and wide in the local region, we recommend you use the Internet and sites like Semonin.com to research your properties and then work with a great real estate agent.
