Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Albemarle County real estate market. *
September 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 (Sep 2026).
Albemarle County is currently tilted toward buyers, with the market gauge reading 63 and classified as a buyer's market. Months of supply is at 4.5, noticeably higher than Virginia’s 3.2 months, giving shoppers more options and time. Homes are also taking longer to sell, with the median days on market up to 43, an increase from a year ago.
Prices have eased from last year, with the typical home value down nearly 20 percent year over year and the median list price also falling by double digits. At the same time, inventory has expanded, as active listings are up more than 25 percent compared with a year ago, while new listings have increased at a slower pace. Even with more choices on the market, sales activity has held up, with homes sold rising about 20 percent year over year.
Despite stronger sales, some pressure has shifted away from sellers, as only about 22 percent of homes now sell above list and the average sale-to-list ratio has edged just under 99 percent. Pending sales are down from last year, suggesting buyers may be taking more time to decide in this cooler environment. With Albemarle County moving in a more balanced direction but still favoring buyers, both buyers and sellers can benefit from Agent Pronto’s help in finding an agent who understands these shifting dynamics.
Albemarle County offers residents a vibrant, balanced lifestyle with scenic rural charm, abundant outdoor recreation, strong schools, and a thriving local economy that supports families and entrepreneurs alike.
Albemarle County offers a rare blend of small town character and cultural depth that sets it apart from nearby counties and even neighboring Charlottesville. Anchored by rolling foothills and working farms, it also benefits from the energy of the University of Virginia and a strong local food, arts, and wine scene. Many residents choose Albemarle for its space and scenery while still enjoying quick access to employment, healthcare, and dining in the urban core.
Communities like Crozet and Scottsville each have a distinct identity, from walkable downtowns to riverfront recreation on the James. Outdoor lovers spend weekends hiking at Claudius Crozet Park or exploring the trails and vistas at Ragged Mountain Natural Area. Families value local schools and resources such as Albemarle County Public Schools and the Jefferson-Madison Regional Library.
Food and wine are central to local life. Residents frequent producers along the Monticello Wine Trail and gather at spots like IX Art Park for events that blend art, music, and community. Longtime locals and newcomers find it easy to build connections through neighborhood associations, youth sports, and volunteer efforts.

“It was a pleasure working with Wes on the sale of my home. He is professional, knowledgeable and informative. He was always available to answer any of my questions. I was able to sell the house quickly with no major hold ups. Thank you again Wes.”
“Grimm Brothers construction has used dwayne on multiple property acquisitions. He has assisted in both the buying and selling of many residential properties. We have found him to be very responsive whenever we have questions concerning closing, property values etc. Dwayne has a vast knowledge of property values and whats available in the shenandoah valley. Wouldn't use anyone else!”
“Marylin and Chris are fantastic to work with. Chris's expert local knowledge helped us narrow down both the neighborhood and house we wanted. Incredibly responsive and fun to work with - would recommend working with this team to anyone!”
“We absolutely hit the jackpot with Lori as our realtor - what happened to be a random Zillow match to tour a house ended with the best realtor to buy! She was easy to talk to, quickly understood what we were looking for, and took care of so much behind the scene I could never imagine doing. Would absolutely work with her again in the future if we needed to!”
“Nick was great to work with! He was very personable and easy going. He made time for every home we wanted to see at the exact times we wanted to see it. He stuck with us even after a 6 month lull in looking at homes. I would consider Nick not only a professional, but he has become a friend.”
“Joseph was great helping us navigate the sell and purchase our homes. He went above and beyond with music videos, flyers, open houses, and even a commercial-style advertisement. This was the first time I’d seen this level of resources used on any house. He was always available when I had questions or concerns no matter how late or early. I can’t say enough great things about how he handled this process with us. I’ll recommend him to anyone who asks.”
“Ana and her team did an outstanding job in the selling of our home and the purchase of our new home in Mechanicsville. Her knowledge of the real estate market was impessive. She kept us informed throughout the process in the sell and purchase of the homes. She and her team were very responsive and provided clear, accurate advice and responses. The process was very smooth. In the sell of our home she provided excellent advice on what we needed to do to prepare and show the home. On the purchase of our new home she worked very hard to get us the best deal. I was extremely satisfied and appreciative of the work and support provided by Ana and her team.”
“Angie was absolutely fantastic to work with! She stayed on top of everything from start to finish and made the entire home buying process so much less stressful. Anytime a question or issue came up, she was quick to respond and always had a solution ready. I had plenty of questions along the way, and she was able to answer and clarify everything clearly, which gave me a lot of confidence. I really appreciated how proactive and organized she was, and I always felt like she had my best interests in mind. If you’re looking for someone who will truly guide you through the process and make sure nothing slips through the cracks, Angie is the realtor you want in your corner!”
“It was a true pleasure to sell my house in Silver Spring with Andres. The transaction, for my family, was a total success. There were a ton of moving parts in this transaction with a chaotic market, repairs to make pre-sale, and a really tight timeline. Can’t stress enough how much we appreciate his professionalism in handling everything and making it all go smoothly. This was a difficult time to be considering and executing a home sale in the DC area. Andres's advice and strategy was spot on at every step. We could not have been in better hands for this. It's elite-level service from start to finish.”
“She is very personable and professional. She guided me through a very tough decision. I appreciated her commitment to help me reach my goal.”
“Emilie was amazing to work with. She went above and beyond to make sure we got the perfect home.”
“I started off looking for a rental; he was always available to show me homes and worked around my schedule. When I realized that it may be better to buy he stayed with me. When I found the perfect home he helped me with every step of the home buying experience. He was polite, honest, and pointed things out I missed to include with the offer. He was even there during the inspection and final closing. This was one of the best home buying experiences and being a veteran that is saying a lot considering I moved constantly. I highly recommend him.”
“Nealy was absolutely wonderful and we could not have completed the purchase without her. The homeowner's association was very hard to contact and she was persistent in pursuing them in order to address concerns we had with the homeowner's association. She was very diligent and kept us well informed along the way.”
“We found jack through an advertisement and were cautious. However, he is quiet, steady and thoughtful. Originally, it was supposed to be a simple "pushing paper" so we could by our rental which had come on the market. However, due to a very difficult realtor on the seller side, the deal became difficult, collapsed, was reincarnated, and finally closed. Jack stood by us and was helpful throughout - even helping us look for other houses to buy, short term rentals when building became an option and even looking at builders. He is not a "salesman" he is a trusted adviser who listened to our needs, and found multiple homes that fit. While looking at alternative to our original intent, he gave us honest assessments of the properties, which helped us make a good decision. Jack will be my first call for all my real estate dealings - I recommend him to everyone!”
“Payton was awesome. On top of everything and very professional.”
