Louisvillians: Sell your home now at a lower price or wait for
themarket to stabilize - see analysis from Fiserv and Altos
Research.
On a national basis the Fiserv Case-Shiller's Home Price Index,
which covers more than375 US markets, indicates greater
affordability and a strengthening economy isrestoring price
stability to the housing market. Here are some highlights:
Prices in nearly all metro areas are at or close to pre-bubble
levels, relative tohousehold income
Average U.S. home prices projected to stabilize in the third
quarter of 2011
Prices in hardest-hit markets to level out by the end of
2012
On the local Louisville Kentucky level there is good news and
bad. On the one hand theindex proves what we already knew, that
Louisville has one of the most stable housingmarkets in the US, and
despite the carnage in many parts of the country,
Louisvillesuffered only a slight 1.3% drop in housing prices from
the top of the bubble (Q4 2007to December 2010). On the other hand
while home prices dropped only animperceptible 0.1% in 2010, they
are predicted to drop by 0.6% in 2011.

So what does this all mean for you? Well, really, not much. And
the reason is that, like
politics, everything is local, hyper local. Take a look, for
instance, at the housing home
value statistics produced by Altos Research (a nationally known
provider of real estate
data and analysis), for these Louisville 4 zips, 3 in east
Louisville, 1 in the west:
And of course, looking at a zip is not really good enough either
as there may be pockets
of troubled or bright areas within that zip which are skewing
the statistics. Most
Realtors will provide a comparative market analysis. If you are
not working with aRealtor, Metro1 will be happy to provide not only
a free current comparative market
analysis for your home, but also a trend report.
