Learn moreThree genuinely different citations, disclosed rather than reconciled
A median VALUE citation puts Lexington at $224,700; a median SALE price citation puts it higher at $310,800 (up 3.8% year over year); and a separately cited, more recent month showed a $259,000 median sale price (up roughly 40% year over year). All three are disclosed rather than picked from, given the real spread and the different measures/windows involved.
A genuinely small, low-inventory market
With a total city population of 7,528-7,864, Lexington's housing stock is inherently limited -- real month-to-month volatility in any single price measure is plausible given how few transactions move the market.
A genuinely severe flood-of-record consideration for river-adjacent properties
The Maury River crested 31 feet in Lexington's residential area during the 1969 Camille flood -- confirm current FEMA flood-zone status for any property near the river before buying.
Key takeaways
- Home-price citations range $224,700-$310,800 across sources -- a real, disclosed disagreement, not resolved to one number.
- Lexington's small population (7,528-7,864) means a genuinely limited, low-inventory housing market.
- Confirm FEMA flood-zone status for any Maury-River-adjacent property given the 1969 Camille flood's 31-foot crest.
