LOUISVILLE, Ky. — The Greater Louisville housing market continued its resilience in May with significant gains in inventory and strong sales activity, according to data released by the Greater Louisville Association of Realtors and APEX MLS.
A total of 1,561 homes closed in May, representing a 14.6% increase compared to May 2025. Year-to-date closed sales are up 4.6%, demonstrating continued buyer interest despite elevated mortgage rates and ongoing affordability challenges in the market.
The headline news came from inventory levels, where the number of homes available for sale rose to 4,052, a 39.0% increase from one year ago. The months of supply climbed to 3.2 months from 2.4 months, providing buyers with significantly more options than they have seen in several years.
“The market continues to move toward a healthier balance between buyers and sellers,” said GLAR President Rip Phillips. “We’re seeing more homes come onto the market, giving buyers additional options, while sellers are still benefiting from steady demand and continued home price appreciation.”
Home prices reached new highs, with the median sales price increasing 2.5% year-over-year to $295,000. The average sales price rose 3.4% to $351,235. Year-to-date, the median sales price stands at $289,900, up 4.5% from the same period last year.
New listings continued their upward trajectory with 2,449 properties entering the market in May, a 7.7% increase from a year ago. Year-to-date new listings are up nearly 18%, reflecting growing seller confidence and reflecting what some market observers have called the best time to enter the housing market in recent years.
While buyer demand remains present, market activity has become more measured. Pending sales declined 14.7% in May, and homes spent an average of 49 days on the market, compared to 41 days during the same month last year. Sellers received an average of 98.5% of their list price, indicating that properly priced homes continue to attract serious buyers.
Showing activity remained strong throughout the region, with Jefferson County recording more than 15,000 showings during May. Bullitt, Oldham, Shelby, Hardin, and Nelson counties all continued to experience consistent buyer traffic.
“Today’s buyers have more negotiating power and more homes to choose from than they did a year ago,” Phillips said. “At the same time, home values remain strong and well-positioned for homeowners considering a move. That’s creating opportunities on both sides of the transaction.”
