Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Jul 2026 - Sep 2026).
Year-over-year, Cardinal Valley’s rolling three-month data shows notable shifts in both prices and activity. The typical home value is down almost 20 percent from last year, even as the median list price has jumped more than 25 percent. At the same time, new listings and pending sales each dropped sharply from a year ago, signaling fewer homeowners putting properties on the market and fewer deals in the pipeline.
Looking more closely at the latest rolling three-month period ending in September 2026, inventory and pace are both changing. Months of supply climbed to 3.7, up significantly from last year and above the wider Lexington figure of 2.9 months, indicating a bit more breathing room for buyers than in the past. Homes are still moving in about 30 days on median, almost the same as a year ago, so properties that are priced well are not sitting for long.
Another notable trend is how often homes are beating their asking price in Cardinal Valley. Nearly 57 percent of recent sales closed above list, up strongly from a year earlier, even though the average sale-to-list ratio has edged slightly lower to just under 98 percent. For buyers, this mix of lower typical values, higher list prices, and more inventory can be confusing, while sellers must navigate pricing and timing carefully, and Agent Pronto can connect both sides with an agent who understands these shifting conditions.

“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 were looking to upsize and find a bigger home in Lexington, KY, and Mohamed made the whole process much easier for us. 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.”
“I could not have gotten better care. he sold my home during the WAR. I think that is outstanding”
“Stephanie helped us from beginning to end of selling our home. She answered all of our questions & made the process as smooth as possible. She was is very knowledgeable and we appreciate her walking us through the entire process.”
“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!”
“James Martin understood what we wanted and needed. He worked with our schedules so we could look at houses and helped us pick the perfect house for us.”
“Tricia was so great throughout the entire process. She was especially sensitive to the fact that I had recently lost my husband unexpectedly and probably took longer to make a commitment than the average home buyer. She's a true professional and I highly recommend her!”
“Joseph was right there for us when we contacted for an agent. He was open and honest with us on everything Joseph didn't stop looking for places even when we couldn't go until after 430. We both felt comfortable talking to him over all our expenses and what we needed Joseph forums us the perfect house and we would definitely use him again if needed and would recommend him to other people. Thanks from both Lee and I for helping us find our perfect new home. Connie and Lee”

“It was a real pleasure working with Jaryd We weren't sure whether we really wanted to sell our home at first was extremely patient and eased our decision making process. We had a professional photographer at our house and within less than a week, we had offers way over our asking price Jaryd truly understands how to sell houses. He made the process incredibly easy. I Spoke very highly of him was a pleasure to do business with no doubt I will be referring business to close family and friends.”
“Shannon was a pleasure to work with and very knowledgeable about the process. He was quick to return a text or call anytime. He is a people person and it's clear he enjoys what he does. We were relocating from out of state and he made the whole experience much less stressful. We will recommend him to everyone we know!”
“Julie took the criteria for a home we wanted and arranged several viewings to be done in one day. At the end of only one day looking at houses, we had a contract to buy the perfect home for us. I appreciate her expertise in working with builders, other agents, and lenders to make the process remarkably easy. We are looking forward to our new home. Thanks Julie!”
“Traci and another agent from her group, Lana, helped me see as many houses as I wanted. They were very helpful and considerate. Between the two ladies, I saw so many houses and never felt pushed to buy any of them. I was informed of potential issues with houses and they respected if I didn't like something about a house. Days before I was set to go back home, Traci found a house that had just come on the market and I bought it! It has almost everything on my wish list. I couldn't be happier!”
“Lana Stephens and Traci Mitchell are a pleasure to work with. They are professional and friendly, and know their business. They not only sold my late father's townhome, they helped me completely gut and remodel it. And I live out of state! Their team put together a great plan. They kept in constant contact with plans, purchases and those things that pop-up when remodeling. I appreciate their patience, kindness and special treatment since it was my father's place. I can't think of a better fit for what I needed. I highly recommend them to work with any situation.”
“great knowledge as a realtor, would highly recommend to anyone buying or selling property, have done both over the years, exceptional person and realtor”
“Tyler Higgins hooked us up with an amazing home, an amazing price, in the exact area we were looking at....within a week!!!! I can’t recommend him enough for a smooth and easy home buying experience. He is a man of integrity and will work for you!”
“Charity was a joy to work with. I appreciate her being so available to deal with my "stressing out" outside of business hours. It was a competitive market but she went out of her way to get me into homes very quickly. I have referred her to multiple friends and family.”
“I've worked with other realtors but none compare to Cheryl. Her expertise helped sell my home in a community special to those wanting to live in a horse community. She advertised not only on the usual real estate sites but on web sites catering to farms and ranches. Cheryl held a large brokers open which brought many realtors working with all income levels including high end buyers which probably led to the sale of my home. I highly recommend Cheryl for all your real estate needs.”
