Sell My House in Union, KY
Union is one of the most requested areas we hear from buyers, especially families targeting newer homes. That demand means well-kept resales compete directly with new construction, and pricing them right against builder incentives is the local skill that matters. We price and market Union homes against that reality, not against a generic county average.
Why Union works for so many people
Union is where much of Boone County's growth is happening: newer neighborhoods, family subdivisions, and farmland turning into cul-de-sacs. Families move here for space, newer homes, and the schools, and stay for the small-town feel that survives the growth. Big Bone Lick State Historic Site and the county's rural south edge are right down the road.
Mostly newer construction: two-story family homes and ranches in planned subdivisions, larger lots than the river cities, and active new-build communities with builder options still available.

What actually sells a house in Union
What moves a Union home
Union's buyer pool is comparing your home to new construction down the road, and that comparison sets the standard. Open plans, newer finishes, and a functional primary suite carry weight, and so does anything a builder would charge to add: finished basements, upgraded kitchens, landscaping that is already grown in. The advantage a resale has over a spec home is that it is finished and available now, and we market it that way.
Pricing where builders compete
In a market with active new-build communities, the builder's base price plus options is your real competition, not just recent resales. Price above it and buyers do the math and go pick their own finishes. We look at what the nearby builders are actually charging with options included before we set your number.
Preparing a Union sale
Union homes are generally newer, so the work is presentation rather than repair: decluttering to make rooms read as large as they are, neutralizing bold paint, and making the outdoor space look like a place someone would sit. Small effort, and it puts a resale on the same footing as the model home.
