The Top 50 Kentucky Towns Experiencing Rapid Home Price Growth

Cities with the swiftest-increasing home values in Kentucky

The real estate excitement ignited by the COVID-19 pandemic endures, albeit at a more gradual rate. Purchasers continue to vie for a scarce housing inventory, elevating costs for budget-friendly residences.

The average home value in the U.S. reached $360,385 in October, reflecting a 2.4% increase from the prior year.

Rising mortgage rates have decelerated expansion, with prices even dropping in certain regions. Nonetheless, some locales are still observing significant price increases compared to the previous year.

Stacker has curated a compilation of cities experiencing the fastest escalating home prices in Kentucky utilizing information from Zillow. Cities are listed according to the monetary increment in the Zillow Home Values Index for all residences from the 12 months concluding in October 2024. The graphics in this report were generated automatically using Matplotlib. Data was accessible for 50 cities and towns within Kentucky.
