2733 Hale Av
Gutted to the studs with the expensive prep already paid for. New framing, new windows, new exterior doors, and PEX rough-in are in the building. Buy It Now at $47,000, roughly $75,000 to $90,000 to finish, against a $193,000 ARV. Five bedrooms and two baths, the only five bedroom in the comp set. Vacant and on a lockbox.
THE NUMBERS
• Buy It Now: $47,000
• Estimated cost to finish: $75,000 to $90,000
• ARV: $193,000, the average of the three comparable finished sales
• All in near $130,000 against a $193,000 exit
• Hard cost already standing in the building: roughly $50,000 to $75,000
INCOME
• Market rent finished: $1,900 a month
• Louisville Metro Housing Authority five bedroom voucher payment standard: $2,248
• LMHA sets Housing Choice Voucher standards at 100 percent of Metro Area Fair Market Rent, flat across every zip code, so 40211 carries the same standard as the east end. A five bedroom in a low rent zip is where that gap is widest.
• At $1,900 against a roughly $130,000 all in basis, that is about 1.46 percent monthly and a 17.5 percent gross yield
• Rent figures are estimates. Voucher rents remain subject to LMHA rent reasonableness review.

• Kitchen
• Flooring, trim and paint
• Exterior
HOW THE ARV IS BUILT
• Three sales carry the number: 1222 Cypress at $210,000, 2832 Greenwood at $205,000, and 2703 Garland at $163,000. All three are full renovations sold on the open market. They average $193,000.
• The same three average $96 per foot. Against the 2,019 sqft of record that gives $193,800, so the dollar average and the per foot average agree.
• Two further sales appear in the table below and are deliberately excluded from the average. 2625 Garland sold the week a buyer's loan collapsed, so its $142,000 reflects urgency rather than market. 3125 W Kentucky stopped at cosmetics and kept 1.5 baths, so at $152,000 it prices an inferior finish to what this rebuild delivers.
• Bath count does not drive price here. 2832 Greenwood carries one bath per MLS and still outsold that 1.5 bath renovation by $53,000. Finish depth sets the number.
• At roughly 2,350 sqft finished this would be among the largest renovated homes in the pocket, and the only one with five bedrooms.
KNOWN RISKS
• The average leans on 2832 Greenwood, the highest price per foot in the set at $116 and the oldest of the three at May 2025. Take that comp out and the remaining two average $186,500.
• The added area at the rear and on the second floor is unpermitted. One permit appears in the county record, a 2012 electrical service restore. An appraiser may decline to credit the added square footage.
• Square footage of record is 2,019. The added area may push the finished number toward 2,350. Buyer to verify square footage, lot size, and permit status on any added living area.
• At studs, so cash or hard money only. Not conventionally financeable.
• The framing and PEX rough-in have stood open roughly four years. Inspect for moisture, rot, and missing copper or wire.
ZONING
• Traditional Neighborhood form district
• Buyer to verify base zoning and any rezoning requirement with Louisville Metro Planning and Design Services before assuming multi unit use

| Address | Sale Price | SqFt | Lot | $/SqFt | Cond | Sold |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1222 Cypress St, Louisville, KY 40211 ↗ | $210,000 | 2,496 | 5,214 sqft | $84 | A | Aug 2026 |
| Completely remodeled 4 bed / 2.5 bath, built 1925, with a fully finished basement. Freshest sale in the set and the closest match on size. The ceiling for finished product in this pocket. | ||||||
| 2832 Greenwood Ave, Louisville, KY 40211 ↗ | $205,000 | 1,760 | 7,061 sqft | $116 | A | May 2025 |
| Fully renovated 1920 build with new flooring, electric, plumbing, HVAC and roof, 11 ft ceilings and a primary suite. Carries only ONE full bath per MLS and still cleared $205,000, which is the clearest evidence that finish depth outranks bath count here. | ||||||
| 2703 Garland Ave, Louisville, KY 40211 ↗ | $163,000 | 1,857 | 7,344 sqft | $88 | A | Jun 2025 |
| Beautifully renovated two story, built 1905, with new mechanicals and roof, vinyl plank flooring and ten foot ceilings. Half a block from the new Norton West Louisville Hospital. 3 bed / 2 bath. | ||||||
| 3125 W Kentucky St, Louisville, KY 40211 ↗ | $152,000 | 1,833 | 10,023 sqft | $83 | B | Jun 2026 |
| Fully updated 1912 build, new flooring, windows and doors, updated kitchen with stainless, new roof and newer HVAC. Only 1.5 baths and a shallower renovation than the top comps, which is why it landed $53,000 under 2832 Greenwood on similar square footage. | ||||||
| 2625 Garland Ave, Louisville, KY 40211 ↗ | $142,000 | 2,022 | 6,416 sqft | $70 | B | Jun 2025 |
| 3 bed / 2 bath at 2,022 sqft, repairs completed. Sold after a buyer's loan fell through the week of closing, so the price likely reflects urgency rather than full market. Treat as the floor of the finished range. | ||||||
