Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Newport County real estate market. *
May 2026
Monthly data for the latest available year.
Monthly supply and activity totals for the latest available year.
Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (May 2026).
Inventory in Newport County has expanded modestly, with 385 active listings in May, essentially flat compared with last year but up slightly month over month. Even with more options on the market, contract activity has been mixed, as homes sold climbed nearly 35% from April to 93 sales, while new listings fell more than 11% from the prior month.
Contract flow shows some cooling beneath the surface, with pending sales down about 4% from a year ago and new listings off more than 18% year over year. Days on market, however, dropped sharply to a median of 28 days in May, and nearly 44% of homes went off the market within two weeks, underscoring that well-priced properties can still move quickly.
Pricing is holding relatively firm as the typical home value sits around $795,000, up a bit more than 2% compared with last year even after a notable month-over-month dip. The average sale-to-list ratio is just under 100% and about a quarter of sales still close above asking, while 3.1 months of supply and a seller’s market gauge reading support moderate leverage for sellers compared with the broader Rhode Island market’s 2.4 months of supply. Whether you are a buyer navigating these shifting conditions or a seller aiming to price strategically, Agent Pronto can connect you with a local agent who understands Newport County’s dynamics.

“Shelley Andrade was an enormously helpful advocate during the process of our home purchase from start to finish. She introduced herself and offered assistance during an open house at a home we were interested in. As first time buyers, my husband and I were unfamiliar with the specific steps necessary to acquire a loan, submit an offer, and close on a property-- Shelley helped us every step of the way. She was attentive, communicative, honest and transparent throughout. I would highly recommend her to any friend or relative looking to buy or sell a home. A very positive experience!”
“We can't recommend Deanna Tighe highly enough! From start to finish, she was an exceptional communicator, always keeping us in the loop and guiding us through each step of the home-buying process. Her deep knowledge of the local market and the town where we purchased was invaluable. She connected me with trusted inspectors and vendors, ensuring we were starting on the right foot with this property. What truly stood out, though, was how Deanna handled a particularly challenging situation with difficult sellers. She fiercely negotiated on our behalf and provided me reassurance, even when I felt the purchase might not happen. Ultimately Deanna secured the perfect home for my family. I couldn’t be happier with the outcome and am so grateful for her expertise and dedication!”
