Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Feb 2026 - Apr 2026).
Homes in Grissom/Highland have been moving at a faster clip in this rolling three-month period, with the median time on market down to 18 days, compared with much longer marketing times just a month earlier. Even with this quicker pace, overall activity is muted, as only 2 homes sold during the latest three-month window and pending sales have edged up just slightly year over year. This mix of faster sales but fewer closed transactions points to a small pool of committed buyers acting quickly when the right home appears.
Prices have shifted down notably from a year ago. The typical home value has fallen by more than a quarter year over year, and the median list price is showing a similarly steep annual decline. At the same time, the share of homes selling above list has climbed, with roughly half of recent sales closing above asking.
Inventory has built up substantially, with months of supply rising sharply over the past year to reach 7.6 months, far above the roughly 3.1 months seen across Blacksburg as a whole. Active listings and new listings are both modestly higher than a year ago, which gives buyers more options but also means sellers face more competition. Despite this, the average sale-to-list ratio remains close to full price at about 98 percent, showing that well-priced homes can still command strong offers. In a neighborhood where conditions differ from the broader Blacksburg market, both buyers and sellers can benefit from using Agent Pronto to connect with a local agent who understands these shifting dynamics.
Grissom/Highland offers residents a welcoming, walkable community with convenient access to parks, schools, shops, and a strong sense of neighborhood pride.
Grissom/Highland in Blacksburg tends to suit buyers who value quiet residential streets, proximity to Virginia Tech, and a practical mix of older homes and newer infill. Graduate students, faculty, and long term residents often choose this area for its access to campus and Downtown Blacksburg while still feeling slightly removed from student night life.
Housing options range from modest single family homes to small multifamily properties, making Grissom/Highland attractive for both first time buyers and investors watching the Blacksburg rental market. Nearby Virginia Tech anchors local demand, and residents appreciate the short trip to University City shops, grocery options, and services along Main Street. The area also connects easily to outdoor spots like Heritage Park and the Huckleberry Trail for biking or commuting by foot.
Families pay close attention to local school zones and traffic patterns around campus events, while sellers often focus on timing their listings with the academic calendar. Subtle differences from nearby neighborhoods such as Bennett Hill/Progress or McBryde can affect pricing, rental potential, and days on market.
An agent who knows Grissom/Highland at the block level can explain which streets stay quieter on game days, where off street parking is most valuable, and how upcoming town or university projects may influence value. Agent Pronto can connect both buyers and sellers with a local expert who understands these neighborhood level details.

“Brooke is by far the best. She went above and beyond in every aspect to help us with the sale. She is a true professional and any client would be very fortunate to have her. I hope to work with her again in the future and will be recommending her to others. Thank you Brooke for everything!”
“We highly recommend Judy. This is the second time we've worked with her, having trusted her to both buy and sell our home, and she was outstanding throughout both experiences. As an active-duty military family living out of state during the sale, we relied heavily on Judy to manage the entire process. She coordinated showings, inspections, repairs, and all the details that come with selling a home, keeping us informed every step of the way and making what could have been a stressful experience feel seamless. Judy is knowledgeable, responsive, professional, and truly dedicated to her clients. Her guidance and attention to detail gave us complete confidence throughout the process. We are incredibly grateful for her hard work and would not hesitate to work with her again.”
“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.”
“We cannot say enough good things about Danny. This was our second time working with him, and there is a reason we came back. He has earned our trust time and time again, and if we could use him for every real estate transaction in the future, we absolutely would. From listing and marketing our home to navigating inspections, repairs, buyer concerns, and closing, Danny went above and beyond every step of the way. We faced several unexpected challenges during the process, but he remained calm, proactive, and solution-oriented throughout. What sets Danny apart is his communication, professionalism, and genuine dedication to his clients. He kept us informed, advocated for our interests, coordinated with all parties involved, and made sure nothing fell through the cracks. We wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, responsive, and trustworthy realtor.”
