Monthly Summary For The Real Estate Market In The St Matthews Neighborhood In Louisville, KY

It's not been an excellent month, or year, for real estate within the St Matthews area of Louisville, KY. Over yesteryear 12 months, with a few natural variation, we view asking prices for St Matthews homes lose value while a numerical indicator of the area's property health declined about 33%!

Using numbers supplied by Altos Research, we are able to track all sorts of statistics in our local marketplaces, that is exactly what I have accomplished for single homes currently for sale in 40207, which I loosely make reference to as St. Matthews. When using data from Altos Research, I have the choice of using data points collected each week, which would result in a very active and unappealing chart with a lot of good and the bad. Or, when i have done, I'm able to take a look at a rolling trend line, that is achieved by averaging the weekly data points over a 90 day period, which has the result of smoothing the graph out, and creating a more visually understandable product.

Twelve months ago, this collection of homes in the St Matthews real estate market were built with a median asking price around $283,000, more or less. Over the wintertime and heading into early 2010, that number rose considerably until the median asking point passed $310,000. Since that point, however, it's been almost all not so good news with values falling quite rapidly to $275,000 or perhaps a little below that mark, that is where we stand let's focus on a loss around $10,000 from this time last year.

One other statistic I chart is the Median Market Action Index (MAI), which is a collection of other indicators, such as prices, days on market, inventory, etc... all rolled into one number, which in turn measures the general health from the marketplace. Sadly, for St Matthews homes, the report doesn't seem to be very positive. When reading the MAI, something of 30 represents a neutral market, with lower numbers indicating any market and anything above 30 restricted to a Seller's Market. Last October, last year, the MAI stood at almost 18.5, strongly in the Buyer's Market category. There is a large amount of movement since that time, however almost all of it's been declining movement, most abundant in recent measurement coming in at 12.5, a huge swing of almost %33!

Two other data points to trace while reporting on St Matthews homes for sale ought to be inventory levels and just how long those homes are looking at the market. Obviously, I have tracked both and not surprisingly let you know that both measurements are relocating the wrong direction, at least if you're a home seller and would like to see some balance in the marketplace. 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, consider then, it has been almost a straight appear, with the most recent measurements arriving around 240, that is in regards to a 60% increase in the amount of homes showing up for sale in St Matthews over the past 12 months.

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