One number a week that tells you where the Louisville housing market stands, straight from the Louisville MLS and in plain English. The newest number is always on top.
This week’s number: 2,829
Week of November 10, 2026
In October, Jefferson County had 2,829 single-family homes for sale on the Louisville MLS.
This number answers one simple question: how many houses does a buyer have to choose from right now?
A year ago, in October 2025, there were 2,061. That is 768 more homes, or about 37% more to choose from than a year ago.
What it means for you
- Selling: more homes are competing with yours for the same buyers, so price, condition and photos count for more than they did a year ago.
- Buying: you have more houses to pick from than at any point in the last 13 months, so take the time to compare.
- Investing: more single-family homes on the market means more to look at before you make an offer.
