LEXINGTON, Ky. (KT) – Kentucky REALTORS®, the largest professional association of REALTORS® in the state, has released housing market data for June 2025, showing that the total volume of real estate sold had an increase from May and from a year ago.

“Summer is peak buying season, and our real estate market in Kentucky is as strong as ever,” said Barb Curtis, President of Kentucky REALTORS®. “The total sales volume across the Commonwealth continues to increase month-over-month, reaching an incredible $1.5 billion in June. As total sales, total number of listings and median sales price continue to rise, we expect the market to maintain its strength as we head into Q3.”

That sales volume of $1.5 billion, reflected a 3.57 percent increase month-over-month (MoM) and a 13.7 percent rtise year-over-year (YoY). The number of listings sold saw a slight increase with 4,612 transactions completed last month, and the average number of days on the market remains steady at 13 days. The median sales price also continues to rise, up 2.2% MoM and up 4% YoY to $285,000.

The number of new listings dipped to 6,481 in June, a drop of 4.19 percent MoM, but up 8.3 percent YoY. Despite the decrease, Kentucky REALTORS® reports 3.27 months of inventory available across the state, which is calculated monthly by taking a count of the number of active listings and pending sales on the last day of the month.

“The metrics we track continue to increase year-over-year, which is a great indicator of the strength and longevity of Kentucky’s market,” stated Josh Summers, CEO of Kentucky REALTORS®. “As we’ve seen throughout the first half of 2025, both buyers and sellers across the state continue to engage with confidence.”

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 kyhousingfacts.com.
