If you’ve been thinking about buying a home in Northern Kentucky, you’ve probably noticed how fast homes have been coming and going this year. The market is still competitive, but things are beginning to balance out — giving buyers a little more breathing room than we saw in the spring.

📊 Quick Snapshot (Boone, Kenton & Campbell Counties)

• Boone County: Homes are averaging around 27 days on market, down from nearly 50 earlier this year. Prices peaked near $350K in June but have slightly eased, offering a small window of opportunity for patient buyers.

• Kenton County: Activity cooled after a busy spring, with median prices dropping from $298K in May to around $259K in July. That’s great news if you’re shopping under $300K — inventory has opened up a bit!

• Campbell County: Still moving fast with homes selling in just under 30 days on average. The median price has held steady near $294K, reflecting strong demand in that area.

💡 What This Means for You as a Buyer

This fall is shaping up to be a more balanced market. Sellers are still pricing confidently, but we’re seeing:

• More price adjustments as listings sit longer than expected

• Less competition in certain price ranges, especially under $300K

• Sellers more open to negotiations on repairs or closing costs

If you’ve been waiting for the “right time” — this might be it. You’ll likely face fewer bidding wars than earlier this year, and your buying power will go further than it did this spring.

Buying or selling a home isn’t just a transaction — it’s a milestone. Whether you’re taking your first step into homeownership or preparing to make a strategic sale, knowing what to expect can save time, money, and stress. Here’s our insider guide to navigating the process confidently in today’s NKY  market.

 For Buyers: The Smart Path to Homeownership

1. Start With a Clear Budget
Before scrolling listings, talk to a trusted lender. They’ll review your income, debts, and credit to help you understand what you can afford. In our region, most buyers qualify with a credit score around 620+, but stronger credit can unlock better rates and loan options (including USDA 100% financing in many Northern Kentucky areas).

2. Get Pre-Approved, Not Just Pre-Qualified
A pre-approval letter gives you real buying power — it shows sellers you’re serious and ready. In a competitive market like ours, this can make the difference between getting the keys or missing out.

3. Know the True Costs
Beyond your down payment, factor in closing costs (typically 2–4% of the loan), home inspection fees, insurance, and potential HOA dues. Our team always provides a breakdown so you’re never surprised.

4. Partner With a Local Expert
Neighborhood knowledge matters. Whether you’re drawn to Florence, Fort Thomas, Anderson, or Hyde Park — each community has its own rhythm, schools, and market trends. Working with the #1 Team ensures you see the full picture, not just what’s on paper.

5. Think Long-Term
Even if this isn’t your “forever home,” consider resale value, commute times, and potential growth. A good agent helps you buy smart today — and sell strategically later.

 For Sellers: Setting the Stage for a Smooth Sale

1. Timing & Pricing Matter
Local data shifts seasonally. The average days on market in NKY are short for homes priced right — but overpricing can stall momentum fast. We use real-time analytics to find that sweet spot where exposure and value meet.

2. Prep Like a Pro
Declutter, deep clean, and handle small repairs before listing. Curb appeal counts — first impressions can add thousands to your bottom line. Our team offers a personalized prep checklist and connects you with trusted stagers, cleaners, and contractors.

3. Marketing That Works
A “For Sale” sign isn’t enough anymore. Our listings include professional photography, drone footage, targeted social media ads, and wide exposure across MLS, Zillow, Realtor.com, and more. Visibility sells — and that’s where the #1 Team in NKY  delivers.

4. Expect the Unexpected
Even smooth deals have hiccups — appraisals, inspections, and negotiations take finesse. That’s where 25+ years of experience pays off. We anticipate issues before they become problems.

5. Close Confidently
Once under contract, we coordinate every detail with lenders, inspectors, and title companies to make sure you get to the closing table on time — and with peace of mind.

 Final Thought

Whether you’re buying your first home or selling your fifth, local insight makes all the difference. The Northern Kentucky market moves fast — but with the right guidance, it doesn’t have to feel overwhelming.

Hi there.👋

I am Deanna Parson with the This Girl Sells Houses Team at ERA Real Solutions Realty. If you are thinking about buying a home, your very first question probably sounds a lot like this:

“How do I even get approved for a mortgage?”

You are not alone. Financing can feel like walking into a room full of acronyms that everyone else magically understands. FHA. PMI. DTI. VA. It is alphabet soup with your future on the line. No wonder buyers get overwhelmed.

Let us simplify the path.

Mortgage approval typically comes down to four main ingredients:

• Income
• Credit
• Debt
• Assets (think down payment and closing funds)

A lender reviews these to figure out what monthly payment you can comfortably handle. You do not need to be perfect in every category to qualify. You just need a plan.

So what financing works for you? That depends on your life, not someone else’s.

Here are a few common loan options:

• FHA Loan. Great if your credit score is still growing. Lower down payment options.
• Conventional Loan. Perfect for stronger credit and flexibility in the long run.
• VA Loan. For veterans and active-duty service members with incredible benefits.
• USDA Loan. Zero down in eligible rural areas. Northern Kentucky has more of these zones than you might think.

You do not have to choose your loan on day one. The goal is to connect early with a trusted lender who can show you real numbers tailored to your budget, career, and timeline.

This is where I come in.

Our team is the number one ERA team in Northern Kentucky with 913 successful transactions and over 25 years of combined experience. We work side by side with the best lenders in the region. We explain everything in human language. We build a roadmap so you feel confident and prepared long before you step inside your dream home.

Here is what you can expect with me guiding your journey:

• Quick introductions to lenders who fit your needs
• A crystal clear picture of your buying power
• Strategy to strengthen your approval if needed
• A home search that stays inside your comfort zone
• A partner who celebrates each milestone from pre-approval to keys in hand

Owning a home starts with clarity. Not stress. Not guesswork.

If you are curious where you stand or what your options look like, reach out anytime. No pressure. Just real answers designed around you.

✨Your financing is the foundation. Your home is the reward. Let’s build both the right way.✨

There’s something special about October in Northern Kentucky. The leaves are golden, the air’s just cool enough for a cozy sweater, and the charm of our communities really shines this time of year. Whether you’re exploring pumpkin patches, touring open houses, or preparing to make your next move — fall is the perfect time to fall in love with NKY living.

 Fall Events You’ll Love Across Northern Kentucky

If you’re house hunting, make a weekend of it. Explore local neighborhoods, then swing by one of these seasonal favorites nearby:

🎃Neltner’s Farm (Melbourne, KY) – Hayrides, live music, a pumpkin patch, and that picture-perfect country backdrop. A local must every October.
🌽Country Pumpkins (Dry Ridge, KY) – Known for its family-friendly fun, corn mazes, and beautiful fall photo ops — just minutes from I-75.
🍁Boone County Arboretum – Take a stroll through vibrant walking trails and see the best of NKY’s fall colors.

🏡Fall Home Tips for Buyers

As the market cools and the weather turns crisp, fall can be a smart (and scenic) season to buy a home in Northern Kentucky. Here’s how to make the most of it:

• Look for Well-Maintained Exteriors. Homes with tidy yards, clean gutters, and fresh landscaping usually hint at owners who’ve cared for the property.
• Ask About Maintenance History. A quick question about the roof, HVAC, or windows can save you future surprises.
• Tour During the Daylight. Shorter days mean less natural light — visiting in the afternoon helps you see the home’s true warmth and charm.
• Factor in Seasonal Costs. Check insulation, drafty windows, and furnace condition before winter hits.
• Plan for Timing. Buying in the fall often means fewer competing offers — and sellers eager to close before year’s end.

Your home should feel right the moment you walk in. This season makes it easy to imagine cozy nights, warm gatherings, and a fresh start before the holidays.

Thinking about making the move to Northern Kentucky? You’re not alone! Our area has become one of the region’s best-kept secrets for affordable homes, great schools, and small-town charm with big-city convenience. Whether you’re relocating for work, family, or just ready for a fresh start, you’ll quickly see why so many people are proud to call Northern Kentucky home.

I’m Deanna Parson with the This Girl Sells Houses Team, the #1 team in the KY ERA Real Solutions Realty office, and I help clients every day make smooth, confident moves to this amazing area. Here are five things to know before you pack your boxes and head our way!

1. You’ll Get the Best of Both Worlds

Northern Kentucky is perfectly positioned — peaceful suburban living with easy access to Cincinnati’s vibrant downtown. You can enjoy quiet evenings on your porch and still be minutes away from professional sports, concerts, trendy restaurants, and riverfront views. It’s the kind of balance most people only dream of having.

2. The Cost of Living Stays Comfortable

Compared to many metro areas, housing in Northern Kentucky remains refreshingly affordable. You can find beautiful homes with space, modern upgrades, and established neighborhoods at prices that stretch your dollar further than across the river. Add in lower property taxes and strong home values, and it’s easy to see why so many families are making the move.

3. The Community Spirit Is Real

One of the first things newcomers notice is how welcoming people are here. From local coffee shops to Friday night football games, there’s always a sense of belonging. Neighborhoods host block parties, small businesses remember your name, and local events like the Florence Y’All Festival or Bellevue’s Shop Small Saturday bring everyone together.

4. There’s a Neighborhood for Every Lifestyle

Whether you love historic charm or new construction, Northern Kentucky has a fit for everyone.

• Bellevue and Dayton: Perfect for those who love walkable downtowns and river views.

• Florence and Union: Suburban comfort with great schools and plenty of shopping.

• Hebron and Independence: Growing communities offering new developments and open space.

Each area has its own personality — and that’s part of what makes exploring homes here so exciting!

5. You’ll Never Run Out of Things to Do

Between beautiful parks, farmers markets, festivals, and dining spots, there’s always something happening. Spend a Saturday exploring MainStrasse Village in Covington, hiking at Big Bone Lick State Park, or enjoying local restaurants like Tousey House Tavern or Behle Street by Sheli. Life here feels full — in the best way.

Ready to Call Northern Kentucky Home?

Moving to a new area can feel overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to be. My team and I specialize in helping buyers relocate with confidence — from finding the right neighborhood to connecting you with trusted lenders, inspectors, and movers.

If you’ve been following national housing headlines, you’ve probably heard the noise — high rates, tight inventory, and talk of “market slowdowns.”

But here’s the good news: Northern Kentucky isn’t playing by those rules.
Our local market is holding strong — with steady prices, solid demand, and homes that still offer real value for today’s buyers.

Let’s dig in. 👇

📊 The Numbers Tell a Better Story

While some parts of the country are cooling, Northern Kentucky continues to shine:

• Average home price: around $337,000, up roughly 3–4% year over year

• Days on market: averaging 30–36 days — a balanced pace that gives buyers time to think (without missing their chance)

• National comparison: many metro areas are seeing prices flatten or dip — around 1–2% growth on average

That means buyers here are stepping into a market with stability, opportunity, and room to negotiate — not the chaos seen in bigger cities.

🧭 Why Northern Kentucky Is Built for Buyers

1. Affordability That Works
   Homes here still make financial sense. Whether you’re a first-time buyer or upgrading, you can find a great home under $350K — something nearly impossible in most metro areas.

2. Job Market Strength
   With strong employers across healthcare, logistics, and manufacturing, the region’s economy keeps demand consistent — not speculative.

3. Lifestyle and Location
   You get space, good schools, and a true sense of community — all just minutes from downtown Cincinnati. It’s a balance few markets can match.

4. Long-Term Stability
   People buy homes here and stay. That rootedness keeps neighborhoods strong and values steady.
