“We’re seeing clear signs that Kentucky’s housing market is gaining momentum as we move further into the spring season,” Kentucky REALTORS® President Ann Elizabeth Delahanty said. “With total sales volume topping $1.14 billion in March, and new listings jumping nearly 40 percent from February, buyers and sellers across the Commonwealth should feel empowered to engage in this active market with confidence.”
Sales volume in March reached over $1 billion for the first time since December 2025, totaling $1.14 billion across the state. Total listings sold (3,666) increased 20 percent month-over-month (MoM), while new listings (6,732) jumped 38.5 percent MoM.
The median sales price increase and the 3-day decrease in average number of days on the market indicate seasonal fluctuations and market strength as we continue into the spring and summer.
Kentucky REALTORS® reports 4.5 months of supply available across the state, down from 5.3 months in February. Inventory is calculated monthly by taking a count of the number of active listings and pending sales across Kentucky on the last day of the month. Anywhere between four and six months of inventory is considered a steady market.
“March brought a healthy mix of increased activity and options for Kentucky consumers,” Kentucky REALTORS® CEO Josh Summers said. “Buyers have time to make informed decisions with homes sitting on the market around 30 days, while a 4.3 percent year-over-year rise in the median sales price shows that demand remains strong.”
In addition to keeping up with market trends, Kentucky REALTORS® encourages buyers to explore housing affordability factors using the Purchasing Power Calculator, a tool that puts the power in consumers’ hands and helps buyers learn how changes in income, down payment or interest rates could affect their ability to purchase a home.
The comprehensive tool shows buyers how many listings are available and pertinent trends – such as average bedrooms and square footage for their price range – in their desired area. For more information and to access the tool, visit kyrealtors.com/kentucky-housing-facts/.
