Why does insurance distress create distressed sellers in Oldham County?
When premiums in Oldham County rise faster than owners budgeted — or carriers stop writing policies altogether — the carrying cost of a home can climb past what an owner can sustain. Many list and sell rather than absorb it, often before any mortgage-default or foreclosure signal appears, which is why DLRadar treats insurance distress as an upstream, leading indicator of supply.
