The numbers of homes sold and the average price remained fairly steady in December, though the number of sales pending and active listings had the biggest drops in several months, according to the December housing report from the Greater Owensboro Realty Association.
The average sold price for December was $195,456 (a 13% increase over December 2020), with total sales volume at $33.6 million (a 34% increase over 2020).
