“Buyers across the state are continuing to take advantage of decreased interest rates when searching for properties, with the potential for further rate cuts from the Fed later this year,” Kentucky REALTORS® President Barb Curtis said. “Given our current inventory and the average number of days on the market, Kentucky buyers are in a great spot and the market remains steady with more than $1 billion in total sales again last month.”
As seasonal fluctuations ease, total sales volume dipped to $1.26 billion in September, down 15.7% from August. Total listings sold (3,959), new listings (6,123) and the median sales price ($270,000) also declined month over month. However, all four market indicators posted year-over-year gains, showing continued growth and strength in Kentucky’s real estate market since 2024.
The average number of days on the market increased by three days to 19, suggesting buyers have more time to make informed decisions.
Kentucky REALTORS® reported 4.27 months of inventory statewide, up from 3.54 months in August. Inventory is calculated by counting active listings and pending sales on the last day of the month. A supply between four and six months typically indicates a balanced market.
“Now is the time to buy in Kentucky. Between the decrease in interest rates we saw last month and the current state of real estate in the Commonwealth, Kentucky buyers should feel empowered to engage in the market with confidence,” Kentucky REALTORS® CEO Josh Summers said.
