Broker Breakdown: Summer Feels Slow, But Real Estate Isn’t

Broker Breakdown: Summer Feels Slow, But Real Estate Isn’t

Each month, Pam Jury, Principal Broker at Christie's International Real Estate Bluegrass, analyzes the local real estate market in Central and Southern Kentucky and breaks down the data. In July 2025, we examine how the "feeling" of the market stacks up to what's actually happening with the numbers.

July has a way of tricking us. The longer days, the vacations, and our slower-paced routines make it feel like the real estate market is taking a breather, too. And while things may have felt a little quieter this month, the numbers tell a very different story… that the market kept moving full steam ahead.

Market Snapshot: July 2025 vs July 2024 

  • 1,380 homes sold (+6%)
  • Median sale price: $290,000 (+6%)
  • 1,373 pending sales (+10%)
  • 1,898 new listings (+11%)
  • Housing inventory: 4,002 homes (+15%)
  • Months of inventory: 2.9 (+7%)
  • Average days on market: 42 days (+17%)

What does this mean if you’re thinking about making a move?

For buyers, the good news is that there are more homes to choose from than we’ve seen in a while. You have options, and that can make the process less stressful and more fun.

For sellers, homes are still moving, but competition is heating up. Pricing smartly and presenting your home at its very best is more important than ever.

Even with more choices on the market, the fact that prices continue to climb shows that demand is steady and strong. In other words, our market isn’t slowing down; it’s just shifting into a healthier balance.
