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).
Year-over-year, Powell County’s home values and activity have surged, with the typical home value up more than 60 percent and homes sold jumping over 160 percent. Inventory has grown as well, with active listings up by roughly a third from last year, giving buyers more options even as prices trend higher.
In the latest September 2026 snapshot, the median list price climbed sharply month over month, rising by more than 18 percent while the typical home value also edged higher. Conditions still lean toward buyers, with a market gauge marking Powell County as a buyer’s market and months of supply sitting just above four, slightly higher than Kentucky’s 3.9 months.
Momentum has been mixed beneath the surface, as homes sold more than doubled from August while pending sales fell by over half in the same period. Homes are also taking longer to sell, with median days on market up more than 20 percent year over year to 73 days and only about 17 percent of properties closing above list price, even as the average sale-to-list ratio has improved. Buyers and sellers who want to navigate these crosscurrents can turn to Agent Pronto to connect with a local agent who understands Powell County’s market dynamics.

“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!!”
“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.”
“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!”
“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.”
“We absolutely loved working with Angie! She helped us sell our starter home and find our forever home! We will be recommending her to anyone we know who's looking to buy and/or sell!”
“I could not have gotten better care. he sold my home during the WAR. I think that is outstanding”
“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.”
“Jason was awesome to work with! Very professional and knowledgeable about the area. He was always willing to answer any questions we had, especially since we were first time sellers. Would recommend to anyone!”
“I have been so lucky to have Crystal's expertise over the years - she helped in my first ever home purchase a few years ago and I absolutely had to request her professionalism and expertise again to recently sell that initial home and purchase another one. Across all the real estate deals, she has been the epitome of professionalism, has extensive knowledge of the search process, navigating the inspections, and seamlessly ensuring all the legal transactions go smoothly. Additionally, her warm personality and honesty make her unquestionably trustworthy. She came high recommended and I echo that sentiment.”
“I cannot recommend Nora highly enough! It was our first time buying a home, so we didn't know what to expect from a realtor, but we warmed to Nora SO quickly-- she's incredibly knowledgable, super friendly, easygoing, and it felt like at times she was moving mountains for us! She was consistently available and there was never a problem she couldn't solve. She is excellent at this job. We agreed that she has "mother bear" energy; if you are working with Nora, trust that she will absolutely take care of you and advocate for you. At times we felt like we should have been doing more, but Nora took the horse by the reigns! I don't anticipate buying another home again soon (ha), but when I do, I am going to call her immediately.”
“Chris went above and beyond to help me, my mother, and the sale of the home . He was in constant communication and we had a great experience with him ”
“John did a wonderful job helping us purchase our first home. He was with us every step of the way, and was always available to answer any questions we had. John was extremely knowledgeable about the local real estate market, and negotiated a purchase price we were comfortable with. We were very pleased with the job John did, and would recommend him to anyone wanting to purchase their new home.”
“Logan is a star! We reached out to him a year+ before we could even qualify for a mortgage after seeing his videos on social media so that he could guide us during our relocation from Kenya. He was very patient and kind and supported us as we looked for our first rental home in Lexington even though there was no financial incentive for him at that time. Not only that, but throughout our first year, he would occasionally check in with us to make sure that we were settling in well and as a result, we consider him a close friend and an extension of our family. So it was natural that he would be our agent when, after almost a year in Lex, we were ready to buy our first home. He turned the often complex and arduous process of buying a home into a very pleasant experience by going above and beyond and by displaying his characteristic kindness and patience. If it were possible, I would give Logan 10 stars. I highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy a home in Central KY, especially for those coming from another region or new immigrants into the United States! Thank you Logan!”
“Excellent service and on top of everything very pleasant and professional knowledge on home and process very timely would use again definitely my family has used them also”
“great knowledge as a realtor, would highly recommend to anyone buying or selling property, have done both over the years, exceptional person and realtor”
