The Purchasing Power Calculator, a tool provided by Kentucky Realtors, helps buyers understand how changes in income, down payment, or interest rates could affect their ability to purchase a home. It also shows buyers how many listings are available and pertinent trends in their desired area, such as average bedrooms and square footage for their price range.

Kentucky Realtors CEO Josh Summers stated that buyers in Kentucky are currently at an advantage due to expected decreases in interest rates. However, any changes in the housing market trends, such as those shown by the Purchasing Power Calculator, should be considered by potential buyers in Kentucky.
It's important to note that the data used in the Purchasing Power Calculator is subject to revision. The regional associations of Kentucky Realtors with the highest inventory of property listings in September 2025 are not publicly available in current data.
In addition, the number of listings sold decreased by 4.23% compared to July 2025, and the total sales volume decreased by the same percentage. The median sales price also saw a slight decrease of 0.89% compared to July 2025.
Kentucky Realtors encourages buyers to consider a steady median sales price when buying a home in Kentucky and to explore housing affordability factors using the Purchasing Power Calculator. The number of active listings and pending sales across Kentucky on the last day of August 2025 was used to calculate the inventory.
In conclusion, while the Kentucky housing market showed steady trends in August 2025, potential buyers should consider the changes in the market and use tools like the Purchasing Power Calculator to make informed decisions.
