About Frankfort

Frankfort is the capital of Kentucky and is located in Franklin County. As the state capital, it is home to a range of state government offices and institutions that support the Commonwealth.

Residential properties within Frankfort include different home ages, architectural styles, property types, locations, lot configurations, and price ranges. What fits one buyer or household may be a poor match for another, which is why evaluating a property or location in Frankfort depends on your own needs, budget, priorities, and research.

Chart shows the five figures above with bar length proportional to each count. The 91 Active 60+ days homes are a subset of the 119 active listings.

What These Figures Mean

The 91 active listings that have been on the market 60 days or longer are a subset of the 119 active listings, not a separate listing status. Approximately 76.5% of the current active Frankfort inventory has been on the market for at least 60 days (91 divided by 119).

This percentage is descriptive only. These figures do not by themselves establish why any individual listing has remained active for 60 days or longer. Pricing, condition, property characteristics, location, competition, buyer demand, financing, presentation, and other factors may contribute depending on the individual property.

What Recent Frankfort Sales Show

This is a separate closed-sales analysis and should not be combined with the active, pending, or contingent figures above. A Bluegrass REALTORS® MLS/FlexMLS report prepared August 28, 2026 identified 95 Frankfort residential closed listings within the report's search criteria. For those 95 closed listings:

Median sold price

$268,000

Median Days on Market

31.5 days

Median Cumulative Days on Market

33 days

Median sold-to-list-price ratio

98.18%

These are market-level statistics drawn from the report's defined search criteria. They are not a valuation, a pricing recommendation, a guarantee, or a prediction for an individual property. They do not mean a Frankfort home is worth $268,000, that a home should sell in 31.5 days, that every home sells for 98.18% of asking price, or that these statistics guarantee an individual result. Each property is different and must be evaluated on its own.

Buying a Home in Frankfort

Buyers can evaluate Frankfort properties on the criteria that matter to them, including housing type, budget, property features, commute considerations, proximity to places that are important to them, lot and property characteristics, and other personal priorities. Taking time to define what is important to you makes it easier to narrow the search and compare homes on a consistent basis.

Selling a Home in Frankfort

Citywide statistics like the market snapshot above provide useful context, but they should not be treated as an individual home's valuation. Because a substantial portion of the current active Frankfort inventory has been on the market 60 days or longer, sellers may want to understand how their individual property compares with both recent sales and current competing listings. This does not guarantee a particular pricing or marketing strategy. A property-specific strategy can consider relevant comparable sales, current competing listings, condition, property characteristics, location, features, price range, and current market conditions.
