“We’re entering the heart of Kentucky’s busiest homebuying season, and April’s numbers reflect a market with growing energy and opportunity,” Kentucky Realtors President Ann Elizabeth Delahanty said. “The increase in both sales activity and new listings is encouraging because it means more Kentuckians are finding opportunities to buy and sell in markets across the Commonwealth. While affordability continues to matter for many families, the combination of stronger inventory and steady demand points to a market that remains resilient and competitive.”
Sales volume in April is up 18.4% month-over-month. Total listings sold (4,321) increased 16.7 percent MoM, while new listings (7,311) jumped 6.7 percent MoM.
The median sales price increase and the 12-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 3.8 months of supply available across the state, down from 4.5 months in March. 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.
“April’s housing data shows a market that is active, but also becoming more balanced than what consumers experienced in recent years,” Kentucky Realtors CEO Josh Summers said. “Inventory levels are improving, buyers are seeing more choices enter the market and homes are still moving at a healthy pace. That balance is important because it gives buyers more confidence while continuing to support strong home values for sellers across Kentucky.”
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 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.
