“James Strum is a trusted and seasoned provessional that delivers results. Jamie set expectations, provided guidance, prepared us for next steps and was always accessible for updates or questions. I felt informed and prepared for the each phase of the process. Attributed to his leadership, I remained positive as we navigated a couple of unexpected items. I would recommend James Strum to anyone looking to buy or sell (I've experienced both successfully under his guidance). Jamie makes the experience fun, even when it gets a little challenging. James Strum is the best!”

Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (May 2026).
Year-over-year, Bedford County’s typical home value in May 2026 rose more than 5 percent, outpacing Virginia’s statewide growth of just over 3 percent. At the same time, median list prices dipped from a year ago and now sit slightly above $415,000, suggesting sellers are adjusting asking prices even as underlying values trend higher.
Inventory has expanded notably, with active listings up nearly 22 percent from last year and months of supply climbing to 3.8, well above the state’s 2.6 months. With more homes on the market and supply roughly doubling over the past year, buyers have more options and a bit more leverage than they did during tighter conditions.
Recent activity shows 97 homes sold in May and 142 properties going under contract, with pending sales up over 6 percent year over year even as closed sales declined. Homes are taking longer to move, with the median days on market rising to 22 and the share selling above list price dropping to about 15 percent, indicating more negotiation room for buyers while sellers still benefit from solid value growth. Buyers and sellers who want to navigate these shifting dynamics in Bedford County can turn to Agent Pronto to connect with a local real estate agent who knows how to position them for success.

“A professional who is always ready to meet your needs and match your intensity in the home search if required. Her knowledge, contacts, and communication with my lender were the only reasons we were able to close on time. She was instrumental in helping me find the home that I wanted, as well as being the reason that I was able to move into my home by the date of closing.”
“It was my pleasure working with you Daniel. You listened to my concerns and responded positively. Thank you”

“Bree was incredible! Everything you could want in a realtor. Experienced, warm, personable, and punctual! She made the process of selling/buying at the same time seem so easy. We had a contingent sale which can be really tricky and she made it a breeze. We hope this is our forever home but if we ever buy or sell again, bree is my first call!”
“We were so happy we picked Karen as our realtor. The only realtor that told us Virginia is a buyer beware state. The process is long and Karen has the patience and flexibility to work with you. We received excellent customer service and highly recommend her for all your realtor needs. Thank You, Karen for helping us find our new home.”
“We have known Judy for several years and always knew we would select her as our realtor when it came time to sell our house. She did an amazing job and we couldn't be happier! As people who believe in planning, we especially appreciated Judy's support as we got ready to put the house on the market. Our conversations regarding the sale of our home took place over many months ensuring that when listing day came we were more than ready. Judy is exceptionally knowledgeable on the northern Virginia market and all of her recommendations were on point. Our house sold in one weekend with multiple competitive offers and we give Judy the credit. She priced the house appropriately and marketed it exceptionally well. While selling a house is never easy, Judy made the process as painless as possible and was there to support us throughout the process. We would highly recommend Judy.”
“Working with William Mallory was a real pleasure. From our very first meeting, his professionalism and dedication were front and center. He took the time to truly understand our needs, navigated every step of the process . William is communicative, and a true expert in his field. I would strongly recommend working with William”

She was always available to answer my questions, kept me updated throughout the entire process, and made what could have been a stressful experience feel smooth and manageable. She genuinely cared about helping me find the right home and was there every step of the way. I am extremely grateful for all of her hard work and would not hesitate to work with her again or recommend her to my family and friends.”
“Debbie not only helped us find exactly what we were looking for, and where, but she helped us set up the sale of our previous house, and helped us negotiate consecutive closing dates as well as a possession maintenance period of our previous house in order to make our move easier. Having now worked with her on a sale and a purchase, plus her having done wonders for other family members, we would recommend her to anyone looking to purchase a home.”
“Carla is a seasoned agent with a wealth of knowledge in the Northern Virginia area. We worked with her in the past, both buying and selling homes. We were extremely happy throughout the process then, and on the recent sale of our home. She is the only agent I would use going forward should the need arise. Thank you Carla!!”
“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.”
“Working with Boris in DC was an outstanding experience from start to finish. He was knowledgeable, responsive, and truly understood the DC market. Throughout the entire process, he made us feel informed and supported, always going above and beyond to answer questions and advocate for our interests. His professionalism, honesty, and attention to detail made what could have been a stressful experience feel smooth and manageable. I would highly recommend Boris to anyone looking to buy or sell a home in the DC area.”
“I cannot recommend Wes Sparks at eXp Realty highly enough! My father and I recently worked with Wes to sell my father's home, and the entire experience was seamless, professional, and incredibly successful. From our very first meeting, it was clear that Wes is an expert in his field. He brought a wealth of market knowledge and a strategic approach that gave us immediate confidence. Selling a family home can often be an emotional and complex process, but Wes handled everything with the utmost respect and patience.”
“Harvey Raffensperger at Iron Valley Real Estate was fantastic. We sold our home in Hampton in under three months, and honestly the whole process was way less painful than I expected. Harvey knows the local market well, kept us in the loop throughout, and was always easy to reach. The real test came when we ran into a really difficult buying agent — Harvey handled it calmly and professionally and kept everything from falling apart. We barely even felt the turbulence. If you're selling in the Hampton area, I'd go with Harvey without hesitation. Just a solid, trustworthy agent who gets the job done.”
