A total number of 4,444 listings were sold in Kentucky during May, a 7.6% increase from April but also a 2% drop from one year earlier.
According to Kentucky Realtors, the number of new listings last month totaled 6,670, a 6.3% increase from April and a 7.9% rise from May 2024. The days on the market for May averaged 13, a three-day drop from the previous month and a one-day uptick from one year earlier.
The median sales price during the month was $279,000, up 6% month-over-month and up 3.4% year-over-year. May’s total sales volume reached $1.43 billion, reflecting a 13.5% increase month-over-month and a 1.7% increase year-over-year.
“As we head into summer and peak buying season, our real estate market is beginning to reflect seasonal surges,” said Barb Curtis, president of Kentucky Realtors. “From the increase in listings sold to the decrease in days on the market to an incredible $1.43 billion in total sales volume across the Commonwealth – May was the strongest month yet in 2025, and the high-quality of our market here in Kentucky is clear to see.”
“The increase in both new listings and listings sold – and the continuous rise in overall sales volume – truly shows the strength of the market across the Commonwealth,” added Josh Summers, CEO of Kentucky Realtors. “It’s great to see both buyers and sellers continuing to engage with confidence as we approach the middle of the year.”
