The Oldham County real estate market continues to show steady activity as we move through early 2026. Known for its top-rated schools, larger lot sizes, and suburban feel just outside of Louisville, Oldham County remains a highly desirable area for buyers looking for space and quality of life.
Here’s a breakdown of the latest market data, including inventory, pricing, and days on market across each listing status.
Active Listings
There are currently 177 active homes on the market in Oldham County.
Average list price: approximately $731,600
Average days on market: about 85 days
This higher average price point reflects Oldham County’s mix of larger homes, newer construction, and higher-end properties. The longer days on market suggests that some of the higher-priced inventory may be taking more time to sell.
Pending Listings
There are 30 homes currently pending, meaning they are under contract and expected to close soon.
Average list price: about $473,500
Average days on market: roughly 44 days
Pending homes are moving significantly faster than active listings, indicating that well-priced homes are still attracting strong buyer interest.
Closed Sales
During the reporting period, 60 homes closed in Oldham County.
Average sold price: approximately $464,600
Average days on market: about 72 days
These numbers show a healthy level of activity, with homes typically selling in just over two months. The average sold price being lower than active listings suggests that buyers are most active in the mid-range price points.
Cancelled Listings
There were 22 listings cancelled during this timeframe.
Average list price: about $695,300
Average days on market: around 68 days
Cancelled listings tend to skew higher in price, which may indicate that some sellers initially priced too aggressively or chose to pull their homes off the market to reassess strategy.
Expired Listings
A smaller group of 6 listings expired after their listing agreements ended.
Average list price: approximately $487,500
Average days on market: about 105 days
