Additionally, closed sales in the realtors association’s area have declined by 4.7%, from 476 to 457, since last March.
Property owners must register with the county anytime they buy or sell a property. That information is all public record, so we can use the information to track trends and figures for Boone, Kenton and Campbell counties. Other sources of information, such as data from realtor organizations and government data tracking projects, can also paint a picture of real estate trends over time.
The realtors association tracks transactions in a 12-county area but only tracks properties that appear on its multiple listing service, or MLS, which is a privately maintained database. As a result, the association’s data is both broader and narrower than raw data from the counties, which show every transaction, including those for commercial properties.
For instance, there was a combined total of 565 properties sold in Boone, Kenton and Campbell counties in March, according to county property records, greater than the 457 sales recorded by the realtors association.
Recently released census data, which has only assessed sales through January, indicates a general decline nationwide of residential sales.
