Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Mar 2026 - May 2026).
Bristol currently leans toward sellers, with the market gauge at 22, but conditions are much less tilted than in prior years. Months of supply has climbed to 5.9 in this rolling three-month view, up sharply from closer to 2 months a few years ago, signaling more options and negotiation room for buyers.
Looking at prices, typical home values over the last three months are about 5% higher than a year ago, showing steady year-over-year appreciation. Yet the share of homes selling above list has fallen to about 5%, down from more than a quarter of sales in 2023, indicating buyers are facing less intense bidding pressure.
Inventory and activity have both expanded, with active listings up roughly 30% and new listings higher by about 38% from a year earlier in this rolling three-month period. At the same time, pending sales have grown nearly 20% year over year, suggesting that well-priced homes still draw solid buyer interest. Buyers and sellers who want to navigate these shifting dynamics can turn to Agent Pronto to connect with a local Bristol agent who understands current conditions and can guide them through the process.

“Debra Mcelroy provided excellent service throughout my recent home purchase. She was responsive, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in helping me find the right property. I truly appreciate her guidance and support!”
“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”
“I cannot recommend Lindsay enough. 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.”
“Great experience with Brooke. This is the fourth time she's been involved with a purchase and selling of 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.”
“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.”

She made everything as easy as possible and was a source of excellent advice throughout the process, as well as a pleasure to work with. If we return to the area, we will absolutely seek her services again.”
“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.”

“I met Kat in 2022 when I needed help with a complicated sale on a tight timeline prior to an overseas assignment. She was amazing so there was no hestitation reaching out for assistance with this purchase. She and her associates are top notch all the way, bringing the unique combination of professionalism, technical acumen, positive attitude, and amazing work ethic. She's never let me down and absolutely worked miracles on several transactions for me and my family. It's an honor to support her with this review!”
