It appears that the asking price of condos in the J'Town area of Louisville, Ky are on the rise.  If you look at the graph below, you will see data that I have charted for the past year.  The black line shows weekly data points of the median asking price of condos in J'Town, while the gold line shows a rolling 90 day trend line for the same properties.  As you can clearly see, it looks like we hit an inflection point sometime last month, and that prices have started moving up, at least a little bit.  This runs a bit counter to homes prices in Louisville, as those continue their downward trend. As an aside, I spoke recently with the developer and builder of a new construction condo project in J'Town, and he represents that his project has seen a recent spike in activity, which might line...

In the late 1770's, the Kentucky ridge on which Jeffersontown would be built was still the forest home of deer, elk, wildcats, and bears.  Buffalo lumbered along ancient forest trails on their way to salt licks.  Indians also hunted here.But by the late 1790's, this area rang with the sounds of settlers whose wagons rumbled over rutted dirt roads as they moved eastward from Louisville toward their newly claimed land.  This movement created a natural crossroads on the ridge and early entrepreneurs soon set up shop.In 1794, Abraham Bruner saw the potential for a town, purchased a ridge, and divided a 40-acre tract into streets and lots.  On May 3rd 1797, the Jefferson County Court officially established the Town of Jefferson, now Jeffersontown, although most of its inhabitants called it B...
