Hopkins County & Madisonville KY Housing Market Update – November 2026

Data through October 2026.

As of: November 2026 (PVA extract through October 26, 2026, working copy dated November 6, 2026; MLS extract through November 9, 2026, inventory as of November 10, 2026)

Over the 12 months from November 2025 through October 2026, the median sale price for improved homes in Hopkins County was $170,000 in PVA recorded sales, according to Hopkins County PVA sales records via Beacon, based on 355 screened sales. That 12-month PVA median is the typical-price figure in this update. October 2026 PVA records are still being recorded, so we are not leading with that month alone.

This update covers Hopkins County as a whole, including Madisonville and nearby towns such as Earlington, Nortonville, Hanson, Nebo, and White Plains. Dawson Springs can sit in Hopkins or Caldwell, so confirm the county on any property you are considering. For a county overview, see our Hopkins County guide. For the figures behind this update, see our Hopkins County market snapshot.

PVA recorded sales and MLS listings are different sets of sales, which is why their medians differ. MLS figures in this update cover listings on the Navica and HABOR MLS boards only (sales listed on both are counted once), not every sale in the county.

How much does a house cost in Madisonville and Hopkins County?

PVA recorded sales

The median sale price for improved homes in Hopkins County was $170,000 in PVA recorded sales over the 12 months from November 2025 through October 2026, according to Hopkins County PVA sales records via Beacon (hopkins_100-3500sf_sales.csv), based on 355 screened sales. In that same window, the average sale price was $185,793, and the median price per square foot was $113.97, also on 355 PVA recorded sales.

A median is the middle sale, so a few unusually high or low prices will not pull it as hard as an average. These figures are for Hopkins County as a whole, not a price for a particular house in Madisonville or any other town. They cover residential improved homes of 100–3,500 square feet in the PVA records. Land and farm figures come from a different source and are in a later section. When you are ready to look, start with our Hopkins County guide or our buy page, or call Tradewater Realty at 270-452-2090. We are not publishing a current “homes for sale now” count until the listing feed is connected.

Are home prices going up or down?

PVA recorded sales

The sturdier recent trend line is the rolling three-month window of PVA recorded sales. The PVA recorded-sales median in August–October 2026 was $175,500, compared with $154,500 in August–October 2025, according to Hopkins County PVA sales records via Beacon, based on 83 versus 90 screened sales. The average in those same windows was $194,461 versus $197,345, so this should be read as a change in the median, not as a claim that values rose across the board.

Over the longer 12-month window, the PVA recorded-sales median was $170,000 from November 2025 through October 2026, compared with $166,000 from November 2024 through October 2025, based on 355 versus 383 screened sales. The average was $185,793 versus $188,311. October 2026, which sits at the end of both of these PVA windows, is still being recorded, so these comparisons can still move a little as later October deeds are added.

An MLS median for a similar period will not match these PVA figures, because the two sources count different sets of sales. That difference is explained in About this data. Because Hopkins County had fewer than 500 screened sales in the latest complete 12 months, we show a two-year average change instead of a single year-over-year percentage. The two-year average change in the PVA recorded-sales median was +4.9%, according to Hopkins County PVA sales records via Beacon, covering October 2023 through September 2026. That figure averages two one-year changes that went in different directions: the 12-month median rose from $155,000 (October 2023–September 2024, 329 sales) to $172,000 (October 2024–September 2025, 393 sales), then eased to $170,000 (October 2025–September 2026, 367 sales). Read it as a modest upward lean over two years, not a steady climb. These windows end with September 2026, the last complete month of records.

How long are homes taking to sell?

MLS sold data

The median days on market for residential listings that closed in the 12 months from November 2025 through October 2026 was 70, according to the Madisonville-Hopkins County Board of REALTORS® MLS (Navica) export pulled November 10, 2026, and the Henderson-Audubon Board of REALTORS® MLS (Paragon) export pulled November 10, 2026, based on 414 screened sales. In the August–October 2026 window, the median was 66.5 days, based on 118 sales, compared with 60.5 days in August–October 2025, based on 110 sales. In the 12-month window, those listings sold for a median of 96.9% of list price, based on 408 sales with a usable last-list price. In the August–October 2026 window, the median was also 96.9% of list price, based on 118 sales. As of November 10, 2026, months of inventory for those residential listings was 3.8.

These MLS figures cover listings on the Navica and HABOR MLS boards only (sales listed on both are counted once), not every sale in the county. Days on market is not a PVA field. There is no land days-on-market figure in this snapshot; that field is not in the land export.

What are property taxes in Madisonville and Hopkins County?

This month’s snapshot does not include a property-tax rate or a typical tax bill, and we are not estimating one.

What we can share is how the process works. In Kentucky, the county PVA sets assessed values and the county Sheriff’s Office collects property taxes, so check your tax bill for where and how to pay, especially near a deadline. This is process information, not a calculation of what any one property will owe.

How much does land cost in Hopkins County?

The median sale price for Navica land and farm listings on the Madisonville-Hopkins County Board of REALTORS® MLS (Navica) was $54,500 over the 12 months from November 2025 through October 2026, based on 54 screened sales, according to the Navica export pulled November 10, 2026. As of November 10, 2026, months of inventory for those Navica land listings was 13.6. There is no days-on-market figure for land in this snapshot; that field is not in the land export.

These figures cover Navica land listings only, not every land sale in the county. Land and farm sales are not in the PVA extract used for the home-price figures above.

What’s my Madisonville home worth?

PVA recorded sales

A single address will not match the county’s 12-month PVA recorded-sales median of $170,000 from November 2025 through October 2026, according to Hopkins County PVA sales records via Beacon, based on 355 screened sales. Condition, location, and recent comparable sales all matter, so the useful next step is a conversation, not a figure taken off this page.

FAQ

How much does a house cost in Madisonville and Hopkins County?

PVA recorded sales The median sale price for improved homes in Hopkins County was $170,000 in PVA recorded sales over the 12 months from November 2025 through October 2026, according to Hopkins County PVA sales records via Beacon, based on 355 screened sales. In that same window, the average was $185,793 and the median price per square foot was $113.97, also on 355 PVA recorded sales. A county median is a midpoint, not the price of a particular house in Madisonville or any other town.

Are home prices going up or down?

PVA recorded sales The PVA recorded-sales median in August–October 2026 was $175,500, compared with $154,500 in August–October 2025, according to Hopkins County PVA sales records via Beacon, based on 83 versus 90 screened sales. Over the 12 months from November 2025 through October 2026, the PVA recorded-sales median was $170,000, compared with $166,000 in the prior 12 months, based on 355 versus 383 sales. October 2026 PVA records are still being recorded, so we are not treating a single recent month as the trend. An MLS median will not match these PVA figures, because the two sources count different sets of sales. Because the county has under 500 sales a year, we use a two-year average change: the PVA recorded-sales median rose an average of +4.9% a year from October 2023 through September 2026, combining one year up ($155,000 to $172,000) and one year slightly down ($172,000 to $170,000).

About this data

The home-price figures in this update are from Hopkins County PVA sales records via Beacon (hopkins_100-3500sf_sales.csv), in a November 2026 snapshot whose PVA source extract runs from November 1, 2022, through October 26, 2026 (working copy dated November 6, 2026). Each PVA figure uses the date range shown next to it.

This is a PVA snapshot of residential improved homes of 100–3,500 square feet. Sales of $10,000 and above are included; sales under $10,000 are excluded. Only transfers the PVA coded as arm’s-length are included. Each deed is counted once. Land and farm sales are not in the PVA extract. Grantor and grantee names were not in the extract, so family transfers could be screened only through the PVA’s arm’s-length code, not by surname. October 2026 PVA records are still being recorded; the latest screened October PVA sale in the extract is October 23, 2026.

Days on market, list-to-sale ratio, and months of inventory for residential listings come from the Madisonville-Hopkins County Board of REALTORS® MLS (Navica) export pulled November 10, 2026, and the Henderson-Audubon Board of REALTORS® MLS (Paragon) export pulled November 10, 2026. Residential MLS figures cover listings on the Navica and HABOR MLS boards only (sales listed on both are counted once), not every sale in the county. This residential set was updated on November 11, 2026, to the merged Navica and HABOR figures. Land and farm figures come from the Navica export only; no Paragon land export was used. PVA recorded sales and MLS listings are different sets of sales, which is why the medians differ, and the two are never combined. Land days on market is not in the land export, so no land days-on-market figure is reported. Because Hopkins County had fewer than 500 screened sales in the latest complete 12 months, we show a two-year average change instead of a single year-over-year percentage. The two-year average change in the PVA recorded-sales median was +4.9%, according to Hopkins County PVA sales records via Beacon, covering October 2023 through September 2026. That figure averages two one-year changes that went in different directions: the 12-month median rose from $155,000 (October 2023–September 2024, 329 sales) to $172,000 (October 2024–September 2025, 393 sales), then eased to $170,000 (October 2025–September 2026, 367 sales). Read it as a modest upward lean over two years, not a steady climb. These windows end with September 2026, the last complete month of records.
