Recently released data from the Northern Kentucky Association of Realtors shows overall decreases in both median (i.e., middle) sales prices and sales closings on homes since February of last year, suggesting an overall cooling of the housing market year-over-year, in spite of increases in median property sale prices in Campbell and Boone Counties since last month, according to county property records.
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.
“An increase in the number of active listings, a slight decrease in the median sales price and mortgage interest rates are setting the stage for an active spring market for buyers,” said President of the Northern Kentucky Association of Realtors Greg Crase in a press release.
The 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 439 properties sold in Boone, Kenton and Campbell counties in February, according to county property records. Other than hand, closed sales in the realtors association’s area have declined by 4.7%, from 412 to 385, since last year. Median sales prices have also dropped from $300,000 in February of last year to $292,200 in February 2026, according to association data.
The highest transaction in Kenton County, according to property records, was a single purchase for multiple properties on Eads Road in Crittenden, part of which contains a large single-family home and about 26.6 acres of land. The buyer is listed as a Ponder Group, LLC. The price was $1.675 million.
The highest selling property in Campbell County was a house in Newport, which sold for $1.35 million, and the highest selling property in Boone County was in Union for roughly $1.267 million.
Property sales in the region tended to cluster in the $200,000 to $400,000 price range. Data from the Northern Kentucky Association of Realtors put the median sale price for homes in February at $292,000.
Kenton County’s median sales price of $293,500, based on public sales records, was the closest to the realtors’ aggregate median. Median sales prices in Campbell County were lower at $250,000. Campbell County also saw the highest number of homes sold between $0 and the $200,000 range, making it the most affordable county in the region, a trend that continues from December and January. Boone County’s median sales price was the highest at $354,000.
