Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Russell 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).
Year-over-year, Russell County’s typical home value has risen while the median sale price is up about 8 percent, signaling steady price appreciation. At the same time, inventory has expanded with active listings up around 10 percent and months of supply more than doubling, firmly positioning the area as a buyer’s market compared with Kentucky overall.
In the latest September 2026 snapshot, buyers are seeing a median list price below what it was a year ago, while the typical home value sits just over $206,000. Conditions favor negotiation, with the average sale-to-list ratio around 91 percent and only a small share of homes closing above list price.
Recent monthly shifts show some mixed momentum, as homes sold increased from August but new listings and pending sales both declined. Even with months of supply dropping from the prior month, it still sits well above the statewide level, and homes are spending a median of 94 days on the market, shorter than earlier this year but still offering buyers time to decide. In this kind of environment, Agent Pronto can connect both buyers and sellers with an agent who understands these trends and can help them navigate pricing, timing, and negotiation effectively.
Russell County offers residents a welcoming, close-knit community with abundant outdoor recreation, solid schools, reliable local services, and a growing array of shops and community events.
Russell County blends small town convenience with easy access to regional hubs. Centered on Russell Springs and Jamestown, the county is anchored by Lake Cumberland, one of the largest manmade lakes in the nation, which shapes both local recreation and the economy. Daily life feels practical and grounded, with shopping, healthcare, and schools close at hand.
Outdoor enthusiasts enjoy boating and fishing at Lake Cumberland State Resort Park and hiking along the shoreline or in nearby Wolf Creek National Fish Hatchery. Families appreciate libraries, parks, and community events in Jamestown and Russell Springs, along with local athletics and programs through Russell County Schools. Everyday errands are simple, from grocery runs to local dining, and a growing number of small businesses add useful services without big city congestion.
Commuters can reach Somerset or Columbia in under an hour, making regional employment realistic while still enjoying quieter neighborhoods and rural acreage. Housing options range from subdivisions near town to lake area properties close to Russell Springs City Park and popular marinas.
Because each community around the lake has its own nuances in terrain, utilities, and seasonal traffic, a knowledgeable local agent can be invaluable. Agent Pronto connects you with a Russell County real estate professional who understands these details, helping both buyers and sellers move forward with less stress and more confidence.

“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.”
“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.”
“She was helpful from the beginning and helped out and shared possible homes from my family and I and knew what we were looking for and once we found the right one, she helped securing it and communicating with me and the sellers team to get the house quickly. She is amazing and was willing to play with my boys while my wife and I walked the houses. 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.”
“Monica Poole is truly the best realtor we could have asked for! She goes above and beyond to make sure you feel comfortable, informed, and supported throughout the entire process. She genuinely cares about her clients and treats you like family rather than just another transaction. Her communication, dedication, and knowledge of the real estate market make such a difference, and you can tell she truly has your best interests at heart. Whether you’re buying or selling, Monica will go the extra mile to make the experience as smooth and stress free as possible. We couldn’t recommend her enough to anyone looking for a realtor who genuinely cares and works hard for her clients. If you’re looking for someone you can trust, Monica is the one!”
“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!”
“Super great experience! Mary and Milly were absolutely awesome! I would recommend them hands down! They are a great team and they work together super well! I can’t put more words on this situation. They are so great and they will definitely take care of you and it’ll be an enjoyable experience!”
“Nikki Faulkner did an outstanding job assisting me purchase of my first home, Nikki she kept me well informed through my Bid to close, I would 100% recommend Nikki for your Realtor needs.”
“The experience with Oxana was excellent. We are very happy with our house thanks to the great help she gave us. We would not have achieved this without her patience and support. She made the process easier.”
“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.”
“Marsha Bartlett did a good job of keeping us updated and talking to us about our wants and needs. I plan on using her again with other property we own. I recommend her to others.”
“Ian went above and beyond in the sale of our house in Louisville, KY! He helped line up someone to do a complete cleanout, and a great company for a total clean before listing it. He also referred a landscaper to add curb appeal. We were out of state and he was hands on through the entire process. He was on top of negotiations and found our buyer. I would chose Ian every time.”
“"Working with Scarlett Sackmann to lease my home was a fantastic experience. She is extremely professional, knowledgeable, and worked hard to find a great tenant quickly. It took less than 2 weeks only. Communication was always clear, and she made the entire process completely stress-free. I could not be happier with the results and highly recommend them to anyone looking to rent or sell their property!" She is also very perfect to sell the house as well, she was our representative when we decided to sell our properties and she did fantastic job during selling process as well. Trust her from A to Z, as she is the most honest person in this role i have ever met so far.”
“Susan was extremely helpful in our move from South Carolina to Kentucky. Having her on our side made all the difference. Buying a home from another state is inherently stressful, but Susan handled so much of the heavy lifting on the ground here in KY while we were still wrapping things up back in SC. She pointed out small details we wouldn't have noticed, and was always quick to respond whenever we texted with random questions. She truly knows the local area and never once pushed us into making a decision just to close a deal. Susan genuinely cared about finding the right spot for us and made the whole transition feel completely manageable. If you’re moving to Kentucky—especially from out of state—you’ll be in fantastic hands with her. Highly recommend!”
“As someone who was strongly skeptical of using an agent to list my home, I truly believe the value these two brought far exceeded the price we paid. Tanner and Lyndsey were not only honest and attentive, but truly found the balance between warmth and consummate professionalism. By the end of our home selling process, my partner and I felt like adoptive children of this dynamic duo - in truly the best and least creepy way possible. They are incredibly knowledgeable of the Frankfort area and helped us feel seen and supported in our efforts with the home before, during, and following our sale process. To some in this industry, going the extra mile is just a thank you text, but for Tanner and Lyndsey, the extra mile looked like tailored repair and maintenance advice, availability for questions and concerns at odd hours, and most of all, a fast, efficient, and profitable home sale with very few strings attached following negotiations. We couldn’t have asked for a better duo to help us take the next step towards our future.”
“Lola Animashaun exceeded every expectation throughout the sale of my property in Clarksville, TN. From day one, she played a key role in preparing my home for the market by connecting me with trusted contractors and offering exceptional design recommendations that helped showcase the property's full potential. Her communication was outstanding from start to finish. She kept me informed every step of the way, answered every question promptly, and made what could have been a stressful process feel seamless. What truly set Lola apart was her marketing strategy and deep knowledge of the Clarksville housing market. Her pricing, presentation, and marketing plan were exactly on target. As a result, we received multiple strong offers within just two weeks of listing the home and successfully closed the sale within 45 days. If you're looking for a realtor who is knowledgeable, professional, responsive, and genuinely invested in getting you the best possible outcome, I highly recommend Lola Animashaun. She is an outstanding real estate professional, and I would not hesitate to work with her again.”
“Johnda made the home-buying process smooth, stress-free, and enjoyable from start to finish. She was responsive, knowledgeable, and always had our best interests in mind. Her guidance and dedication helped us find the perfect home, and we couldn't be happier. We highly recommend Johnda to anyone looking for an outstanding realtor!”
“Kathleen did a fantastic job helping us with a new home. She went out of her way to help my son find the perfect place and was there for us every step of the way. She was so kind and a delight to work with. Highly recommend her!!!”
