LEXINGTON-FAYETTE HOUSING DEMAND STUDY
Lexington, KY
In 2017, Urban Partners completed work on a Housing Market Demand Study for Fayette County, KY. We coordinated with a partnership of civic and private organizations, including the Fayette County Division of Planning, the Lexington Fayette County Property Valuation Administrator, the Lexington Downtown Development Authority, the Lexington Bluegrass Association of Realtors, the Building Industry Association of Central Kentucky, and the Fayette Alliance.
This study identified mid-term (10 year) housing demand in the county based upon recent building and sales patterns, existing housing stock, and demographic projections, while highlighting issues demanding special attention to ensure Lexington’s housing market matches the needs of current and future residents. Working with the steering committee, Urban Partners quantified the incremental housing demand, segmented by housing typology and tenure. This study will help inform the City’s future housing development strategy, which will consider factors involved in responding to the various components of demand described in the study.
