Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Monroe 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).
Inventory in Monroe County has expanded compared with last year, with active listings up about 50 percent to 39 homes. Months of supply has climbed sharply year over year to 6.6, signaling a shift toward a more balanced environment. At the same time, homes are moving a bit faster than a year ago, with the median days on market down slightly to 53 days.
Pricing has been volatile lately. The typical home value is down more than 16 percent from a year ago, yet the median list price has surged over 80 percent year over year, suggesting sellers are testing higher price points while buyers focus on lower-priced closings.
Sales activity is picking up even as fewer new options are hitting the market. Homes sold increased nearly 29 percent year over year, and pending sales jumped more than 170 percent, even though new listings are down sharply from last year. Only about one in five recent sales closed above list price and the average sale-to-list ratio is just over 93 percent, which is softer than the state overall and aligns with Monroe County’s neutral market reading. Local trends also contrast with Kentucky’s higher typical sale price and leaner 3.9 months of supply. Buyers and sellers who want to navigate these shifting conditions can use Agent Pronto to connect with a Monroe County agent who knows how to work both sides of the table.
Monroe County offers residents a welcoming, close-knit community with abundant outdoor recreation, quality schools, and growing opportunities for families and local businesses.
Monroe County feels distinct from nearby Glasgow or Scottsville, thanks to its quieter pace and deep agricultural roots along the Cumberland River. The county seat of Tompkinsville anchors the area with local shops, schools, and services that draw residents from surrounding rural communities.
Outdoor life is a major part of the local identity. Families gather at Old Mulkey Meetinghouse State Historic Site for shaded walking paths and history, while anglers and paddlers enjoy access to the river and nearby Dale Hollow Lake. Community events like the annual Tompkinsville Turkeyfoot Festival highlight small town pride and bring together long-time residents and newcomers.
Daily life revolves around school activities, Friday night games, and local favorites such as Tompkinsville Elementary School events and gatherings at Tompkinsville City Park. The public library system, centered at Monroe County Public Library, provides educational programs and a hub for remote workers and families.
Whether you are thinking of selling acreage that has been in the family for generations or hoping to buy your first home close to town, timing and preparation matter in a small, relationship driven market. Agent Pronto can connect you with a Monroe County real estate professional who understands local trends, helps you prepare strategically, and guides both buyers and sellers from first questions through closing.

“Trisha did an outstanding job assisting me with buying of my home. Made the process very easy and always kept us informed of what step we were in. She knew exactly what I was looking for and found it quickly. I will definitely use her in the future when I sell this home.”

“Jennifer has helped us buy 2 houses. I want to speak to her commitment well after the sale. We just went through a re-fi and received an appraisal well below market. Upon doing an appeal/reconsideration Jennifer helped us with 6 comparables for submission. This was key in our appraisal appeal being corrected to get the appraisal we were due. This shows her loyalty beyond the sale and how she knows the market and is willing to help people right a wrong!”
“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.”

My boys loved playing hide and seek, and kept asking where she is and when they can go back to she her, she is amazing and will use her again when we plan to sell in the future.”
“Seth helped us buy our first home, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

“Delaney was so easy to work with and friendly. She knew we loved the first house she showed us but still helped us look at 8 other ones so we would be 100% sure of our decision. She answers all the many questions we had as first time home buyers. Thanks to her we were able to get out of our apartment into a home we love when we didn’t think it was possible!”
“Mary was phenomenal! She was available at any time! She is very resourceful, knowledgeable and all of the qualities you want in a realtor. She also provides great advice. From a Sunday just browsing on Zillow to 30 days later-closing. Very thankful. Would recommend time and time again. Oh and got my home sold in about a week with others sitting in the neighborhood for months.”
“Darian is so nice, responsive, and very knowledgeable. She eased my anxiety as a first time homebuyer and made the process as fluid as home buying can be. I highly recommend her and will absolutely use her in the future if we ever decide to sell our house and upgrade.”
“The Oatley Team (Laura and Matt) care about their clients. Working with Laura and Matt made our experience of selling and buying a house less stressful. They always had our best interests at heart. We couldn’t be happier with the whole process and would recommend The Oatley Team to anyone!”
“You won’t find a realtor as dedicated as Dustin. He will answer as many questions you can throw at him. He responds fast, and is always available! If you want a realtor that is as serious about your buy/sell process as you he’s your pick!”
“Jackie did a fantastic job listing, staging and negotiating our sale. She did extensive market research to ensure the listing price was accurate to get the most interest from the right potential buyers. She was very involved with getting the house ready to show. She brought in a staging expert that gave us tips on how to make simple changes that made the listing pictures look great and allowed buyers to see themselves in the space. She was amazing when working with the buyers’ agents. We were able to get the best price with very few concessions. Jackie is the most involved and responsive agent I’ve worked with. I was out of town during most of the process. She did many things on her own time that made it possible to get a contract as quickly as we did. I recommend her to anyone looking to buy or sell in the Louisville market!”

“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!!”

“Terra is amazing! She made us feel completely supported throughout the entire process, and we never, ever felt pushed to settle. She quickly understood what we were looking for and skillfully guided us through several showings via FaceTime while we were moving from out of state. Terra is a shrewd negotiator and an amazing problem solver - she always has a Plan B, and sometimes even a Plan C, up her sleeve! We really felt that she had our back throughout the process, and her expertise and persistence made a huge difference. We are extremely happy with her services and would recommend her without any hesitation!”
