Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Lee County real estate market. *
September 2026
Monthly data for the latest available year.
Monthly supply and activity totals for the latest available year.
Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Sep 2026).
Lee County is currently tilted toward buyers, with 31 active listings in September and a market gauge firmly in buyer’s market territory. Inventory has grown nearly 40 percent over the past year and now represents 8.2 months of supply, far higher than Kentucky’s 3.9 months. Even with this strong supply, homes that do sell are moving more quickly, as median days on market dropped to just 15 days, down sharply from 58 days in August.
Contract activity shows some mixed signals. Homes sold rose from one sale in August to three in September, but that is still down about 23 percent from a year ago. New listings are up roughly 23 percent year over year, yet pending sales have fallen nearly 66 percent over the same period, suggesting many buyers are taking longer to commit even with more options available.
Pricing has been volatile, with the typical home value around $254,000 in September, more than double year-over-year but down steeply from August’s unusually high figure. The median list price has edged slightly lower over the past month and sits about 8 percent below last year, and sellers are receiving about 93.5 percent of list price on average with no recent sales closing above asking. With inventory elevated compared with the rest of Kentucky and demand still uneven, both buyers and sellers can benefit from Agent Pronto’s help in finding an agent who understands these shifting conditions.
Lee County offers residents a welcoming, close-knit community with abundant outdoor recreation, rich local traditions, and practical, family-friendly amenities.
Lee County offers a slower pace and deeper sense of community than larger nearby areas like Lexington or Madison County, with forested hills, winding rivers, and small towns that still feel personal. It appeals to long‑time residents and newcomers who value outdoor access and neighborly ties over big‑city buzz.
Beattyville is the county hub, where the Lee County Public Library and local shops anchor everyday life. Families appreciate local schools such as Lee County High School, while nearby Berea and Richmond expand options for work and education. Residents enjoy seasonal festivals and ballgames that make it easy to know your neighbors by name.
Outdoor lovers are drawn to the area’s proximity to the Red River Gorge Geological Area and Natural Bridge State Resort Park, both popular for hiking, climbing, and weekend getaways. Locally, the Beattyville-Lee County Tourism resources highlight river access, trails, and regional events that shape community life.
Whether you are considering selling a long‑held family home or buying your first place, timing and preparation matter in a smaller market like Lee County. The right real estate agent will understand pricing, local buyer demand, and how to position your property or offer effectively. Agent Pronto can connect both buyers and sellers with a professional who knows Lee County’s market and community inside and out.

“Devin was absolutely incredible in this entire home buying process! She answered every question we had promptly, is very knowledgeable and thorough, and very sweet! We can’t thank her enough for all her support!!”
“Derrick Simpson is knowledgeable about house construction as well as the market, and even enlisted the opinions of other realtors to set the initial price. This was helpful as we could feel confident that the price was a consensus of experts. Derrick communicated each step and gave us options for our responses; but let us choose the desired outcome. Most importantly, Derrick negotiated with the prospective buyers and saved us many $ thousands. I wholeheartedly recommend Derrick to anyone looking to buy or sell.”
“We never expected to find someone as dedicated and hard-working as Brandon. ?He put a buyer’s best interest first and demonstrates value and professionalism from answering our late-night texts to scrambling at the last minute to get our offer in on the house. He truly went above and beyond every single step of the way. We love our new home, and we wouldn't be standing right now if it weren't for his grit, knowledge, and heart. We will gladly recommend him to every single friend, family member, or neighbor we know who is looking to buy or sell. Thank you for making what could have been a stressful process feel like an exciting adventure!!”

He helped us find a home that we really liked and was able to negotiate with the seller to cover most of our closing costs. He also negotiated several repairs that came up during the home inspection. Mohamed was knowledgeable, helpful, and always looking out for our best interests throughout the process. We’re very happy with our new home and the outcome he was able to get for us. We would definitely recommend Mohamed to anyone looking to buy a home in Lexington or anywhere in Kentucky.”

“Highly Recommend! Exceptional Service from Start to Finish! I cannot say enough great things about Jordan! From the very first consultation to the closing of my home, they made the entire process smooth and stress-free. Their deep knowledge of the market and attention to detail was evident throughout the entire experience. They provided excellent advice on pricing, staging, and marketing my home, and it sold quickly at a great price! What really set Jordan apart was their professionalism, responsiveness, and dedication. They were always available to answer any questions, offer guidance, and keep me updated on every step of the process. It was clear that they truly cared about getting the best possible outcome for me. My situation was not a typical one and Jordan was on top of it from the start. The shutdown affected my sale and Jordan still reached out often to keep me informed and let me know that everything was still going as planned. If you're looking for a realtor who is not only knowledgeable but also personable and trustworthy, I highly recommend Jordan. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Thank you for everything!”
