Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Shelby 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 Shelby County has tightened slightly, with active listings down month over month and about 6 percent lower than a year ago. Contract activity has softened, as pending sales have dropped more than 20 percent since last month and are down over 30 percent year over year, even though closed sales ticked up recently.
Pricing is showing resilience in the face of this cooler contract flow, with the typical home value up more than 6 percent from a year ago and rising over 4 percent just since August. List prices are trending the other way, falling more than 10 percent year over year, which suggests sellers are adjusting expectations to meet buyers in today’s market.
Conditions currently lean toward balance, with 2.6 months of supply in Shelby County compared with 3.9 months across Kentucky as a whole. Homes are taking a median of 44 days to sell and nearly 19 percent are still closing above asking, while the average sale-to-list ratio sits just under 98 percent, so savvy pricing and negotiation matter for both buyers and sellers, and Agent Pronto can help them find an agent to navigate these trends.

“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!”
“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!”
“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!”
“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!!”
“Sandy made purchasing our home a fun and stress free process! Would absolutely work with her and her team again if we needed to buy a new home or sell our current one!”
“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.”
“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.”
“Jason did a great job assisting us on the purchase of our home. He was super responsive and answered all of our questions. I would highly recommend working with Jason!”
“Damian was amazing in helping me every step of the way and answering all my questions and concerns. Being a first time home buyer was nerve-wracking but Damian kept me at ease explaining the process and informing me of what was next every step of the way.”
“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.”
“Jennifer was wonderful to work with and made our first home purchase less nerve wracking. She was quick to respond and always ready and able to be there to see any homes that came on the market as we were in a time crunch. My husband and I highly recommend her. She is professional, knowledgeable and so kind.”
“Nothing but the best. Could recommend anyone more. She will make sure you're in the house you're looking for. Very patient and prompt, definitely recommended to first time buyers or if you've bought several times before”
“I could not have gotten better care. he sold my home during the WAR. I think that is outstanding”
“We loved working with Lyndsey! If we had any questions, she made sure we understood the answer and helped us navigate everything so well! She made buying our first home easy! I told her I wanted someone who would give it to us straight, and she did just that! Absolutely recommend working with her.”
“I had a great experience working with him. He’s extremely motivated and truly puts in the work to make sure everything goes smoothly from start to finish. What stood out the most was how knowledgeable he is with any questions I had, he had a clear and confident answer. You can tell he really understands the market and takes his role seriously. He stays on top of everything, communicates well, and genuinely wants the best outcome for his clients. If you’re looking for someone who works hard and knows what they’re doing, I definitely recommend him.”
“He is a pro. And a very good person. Great to work with. Knows Louisville and the market and appraising. He communicates well and uses the latest technology to make the documentation effective and easy. He would be a worthy choice for buyer or seller and should be considered for new home buyers. That makes the process work smoothly and efficiently. He demonstrates the value of a real estate professional in making the process work in our electronic age. That means he possesses people skills and ability to communicate clearly. what else needs to be said. Easy to work with and intelligent and honest. A person of values and people oriented. I worked with him at our real estate company and thought it best to have someone else list this property in Louisvillle, KY. Persons with experience and professional behavior are invaluable to successful and honest and timely transaction. They get the job done. So there you are. Job well done. Listed and sold. Mission accomplished. I am working with him on another property and expect the same results.”
“I am Latina and do not speak English. The houses I buy are for investment purposes and are low-priced; yet, despite this, Ashley has treated me in an extraordinary manner. She is very kind, makes an effort to understand me, offers me advice regarding the purchase, and is extremely loyal. I give her 5 stars with all my heart.”
