Louisville Metro Multifamily Trends for August Inventory of Multifamily properties listed for Sale on KCREA declined in August. Reported Sales of Multifamily properties in August was half those reported in July. Comparing to August of 2023, the inventory of multifamily offered for sale has increased by nearly 50% while sales in August of 2024 are less than a third of August 2023 sales, in terms of the number of transactions. At August 2024 activity levels, this amounts to a 30 month supply of multifamily properties for sale, which at least for August indicates one of the poorest performing commercial real estate sectors. I advise caution in reading too much into this. One month does not make a trend. But I would say you should take note. #CommercialRealEstate #RealEstate #CommercialRealEstateTrends #MultifamilyTrends #Multifamily #LouisvilleKY #Economy #CommercialBroker #OtimoProperties.

Louisville Metro Commercial LAND Trends for August KCREA reported activity for Commercial Land remained even. There were 6 reported land sales and zero reported land leases. The number of properties listed for Sale declined by close to 10% while the number of properties listed for Lease increased by more than 5%. At August activity levels this equates to a 30.5 month supply of properties for Sale. Since there were no Land leases, the figure for Leasing is not meaningful. Land has recovered somewhat since the second quarter in terms of Sales and it appears that asking prices for Land are increasing. However, there has only been 1 reported Land Lease all year in Jefferson Co. While I have no hard data to back this up, my best guess is that this is largely reflective of the woes of the restaurant industry. Many of the properties for lease are often used by restaurants and QSR type businesses. As we enter the last quarter of the year, expect Land sales activity to decline. Developers will largely want to wait to close until Spring when the construction season starts. #CommercialRealEstate #RealEstate #CommercialLand #Land #CommercialRealEstateTrends #LandTrends #Economy #LouisvilleKY #CommercialBroker #OtimoProperties

Louisville Metro RETAIL Trends for August - Reported activity for Retail Property by KCREA was relatively stable from July to August. Inventory levels for both properties for Sale and for Lease did not change much. Reported Sales was also stable although Reported Leasing was down a bit. At August activity levels and current inventory, this would amount to approximately 22 months of properties for sale and about 49 months of properties for lease. I am expecting overall activity in Commercial Real Estate to slow and take a "pause" as people try to anticipate how the upcoming election may affect business. For retail properties, we are entering into the time of year that is normally quiet anyway. So that is probably especially true in the retail sector. #CommercialRealEstate #RealEstate #RetailTrends #CommercialRealEstateTrends #LouisvilleKY #CommercialBroker #Retail #OtimoProperties

Metro Louisville Industrial Real Estate Trends - August Industrial activity rebounded a bit from the slump it has been experiencing this year. Inventories as reported by KCREA for both properties listed for Sale and for Lease declined significantly from July. Reported Sales in August increased quite a bit, and Leasing increased slightly. At August activity levels, there is a 9.8 month supply of Properties available for Sale and a 15.7 month supply of Properties available for Lease. As we approach the upcoming Presidential election, I suspect activity in all sectors will slow as business owners and investors take a pause in order to have a better understanding of what to expect following the election. #CommercialRealEstate #RealEstate #CommercialRealEstateTrends #IndustrialTrends #Industrial #Economy #CommercialBroker #OtimoProperties

KCREA data shows that the number of Office Properties listed for Sale increased significantly from July while the number of Office Properties listed for Lease declined. The number of completed sales and leases reported in August both increased over July's figures. At August activity levels, this would amount to a 26 month supply of properties for Sale and a 36.7 month supply of properties for Lease. This seems to suggest that activity in the Office market has improved over second quarter activity. (based on number of transactions only, not values) And it also may be that we are seeing a shift in interest moving more toward a preference for Leasing over Purchasing. #CommercialRealEstate #RealEstate #LouisvilleKY #OfficeTrends #Office #CommercialBroker #Economy #OtimoProperties

Commercial Real Estate Trends for Louisville Metro for August Listings for both properties for Sale and for Lease declined in August from July while reported Sales and Lease on KCREA both increased. At August levels of activity, this would amount to a 19 month supply of properties for sale and a 27 month supply of properties for lease. This is less than the July levels but still more than August of 2023. The takeaway seems to be that after a sharp decline in activity in the second quarter, the market, in terms of transactions only, has recovered a bit in the third quarter. However, this level still lags the activity of 2023. I suspect much of the rest of the year's activity will be influenced by the upcoming elections. Often, when there is an uncertain situation, the market will pause and try to wait until there is more clarity. #CommercialRealEstate #CommercialRealEstateTrends #LouisvilleKY #Economy #RealEstate #CommercialBroker #OtimoProperties

Happy Labor Day, everyone!

Multifamily Trends in Louisville Metro for July - The number of reported sales of Multifamily properties by KCREA in July matched reported sales of June. Both months reported 6 sales of multifamily properties in Jefferson County. While sales remained flat month to month, sales were down from 8 reported sales in July of 2023. Inventories of Multifamily properties offered for Sale continued to increase, rising from 86 properties listed for Sale in June to 95 properties listed for Sale at the end of July. This compares to 68 properties reported for Sale at the end of July in 2023. From a inventory turnover point of view, the current amount of inventory based upon July's activity levels is about 15.8 months of inventory. June's inventory level (based on June's activity level) was 14.3 months of inventory. And finally July of 2023's level was 8.5 months of inventory. Overall, I would say that Multifamily is still the strongest performer. However, there is also no doubt that it is not performing at the same level as the last couple of years. #CommercialRealEstate #RealEstate #LouisvilleKY #Multifamily #MultifamilyTrends #CommercialRealEstateTrends #Economy #CommercialBroker #OtimoProperties
