Louisville Kentucky Area Information

Because of Louisville house prices, affordability rating and a low number of foreclosures, Louisville ranks second just behind Pittsburgh as the top housing market in the United States according to Forbes Magazine online.

The ranking is computed by taking into account the averages of various affordability rates, median home prices, sales prices in major markets and where home prices are expected to rise. According to the Forbes.com article "Nationally, homes are near the most affordable they've been in 18 years."

In Louisville, the foreclosure rate is only 1.15% of Louisville homes which helped us get our ranking as one of the best housing markets. In our city we have not seen a dramatic market collapse as many major cities have, the home prices have kept pretty steady.

Since Louisville Ky homes are looking strong on the housing market front, there should be no fear in those who wish to upgrade their homes or those who are wanting to move into the area. With our steady market, people are still buying and Louisville Kentucky homes are still selling.

There are many resources here on this site to help you find your perfect Louisville Ky house and to help you find the best agent to work for you. The Heidi Fore Team at Keller Williams Realty is always available to help you sell your home or buy your next one! Don't let the housing market scare you- Louisville is still growing!
