Home Prices
Home values in Northern Kentucky continue their upward trajectory. The median sold price reached $295,000, a 5.4% gain year-over-year.

Homeowners are building equity at a pace that outstrips inflation, making real estate a reliable store of value in the current environment.
Home Sales
346 homes sold in March, down 37.5% from a year ago. The reduced sales pace may reflect affordability constraints, limited inventory, or a pause in buyer urgency.
Inventory & Supply
There are currently 909 homes available for sale in Northern Kentucky, down 2.0% from last year. Tight inventory continues to be the defining characteristic of this market. This translates to 1.8 months of supply based on current sales velocity.
