Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Western Branch real estate market, updated for April 2026. *
Western Branch is seeing a lean number of homes for sale, with 91 properties on the market in February 2026. Inventory is down about 20.87% from last year even after a 3.41% month‑to‑month uptick. Buyers are still active, with 137 pending sales, though that contract pace is about 16.46% lower than a year ago and points to a bit more breathing room than before.
Prices are holding up despite the slower flow of new listings. The typical home value in Western Branch reached about $396,300, up 8.58% year over year and slightly above last month by 0.33%. Sellers are asking a median list price of $414,900, though that figure eased 1.21% from the prior month as owners react to longer marketing times and fewer fresh listings, which are down 28.49% compared with last year.
Homes are taking longer to move, spending a median of 49 days on the market, which is 40% higher than a year ago and up 44.12% month over month. Even so, conditions still lean toward sellers, with a market gauge of 7 out of 10 and roughly 27.34% of sales closing above the asking price while the average sale‑to‑list ratio sits near 0.995. Typical home values here trail the broader Chesapeake area, where they stand around $425,000, but growth in Western Branch has been faster than the city overall. Whether you are a buyer looking for the right opportunity or a seller trying to price strategically, Agent Pronto can connect you with a local agent who understands these trends.
Market gauge is calculated based on the the number of active listings divided by home sales over the most recently available reporting period.

“Thanks Ms. Debbie! You made the process a breeze and I appreciate your patience with all the questions of this first time homebuyer!”
“As a first-time homebuyer, working with Catherine was an amazing experience from start to finish. She was incredibly patient, knowledgeable, and always took the time to explain each step of the process in a way that made everything feel manageable and stress-free. Catherine was always responsive, professional, and truly had our best interests at heart. She made what could have been an overwhelming experience feel exciting and smooth. We couldn't have asked for a better person to guide us through our first home purchase and would highly recommend her to anyone-especially first-time buyers.”
“W gave William a 10 star., he exceeded his hard work in making everything happen. (Through the process of me & my family finding this beautiful home) !!! Always on top of everything ( which made a smooth success!! Sooooo thankful for him!!! I promise you will not not go wrong ( So give him a call today!! We thank you William!!! God Bless!!”
“Ms. Sara was amazing! Many problems arose during the sales process. Ms. Sara never let any of that set us back, she had a solution for everything. She responds in a timely manner and she exhausts every option possible. I never felt confused or upset throughout the process because she made it as smooth as she possibly could.”
“Our previous agent insisted that we find a different agent who was more familiar with the Hampton roads area after spending almost 3 months on the market. Rhodonna was highly recommended to us by a family friend, we heard so many great stories about her working hard on the buying and selling side. Once we were dropped by our previous agent, we then decided to reach out to Rhodonna and she agreed to represent us with no hesitation. She came in immediately casting vision for the staging of the home, targeting of potential buyers, and ensuring that we would walk away from the table satisfied. She fully agreed with us on our desirable outcome and worked very hard until it was done. In about 1 month, despite a tough market, Rhodonna had us under contract. Her follow up and follow through with the potential buyers that ended up purchasing our home was very professional and ideal for desired representation in an agent. We highly recommended Rhodonna! Hard worker, master negotiator, & closer!!”
“Our realtor Jessica Estrada is top-notch - she goes above and beyond in everything she does. She showed up numerous times to help our property be ready to sell and did whatever it took. Our house sold within two months due to her ads and persistence. Because of her, our house closed on time. She is knowledgeable, experienced, professional, and teaches others in her group. We are so thankful for Jessica.”
“Deb Kelly did a fantastic job!”
“Kimberly and Holly were very personable and professional. They were very informative. They guided us through this cumbersome and tedious process. They both were great to work with and kept us abreast with what we needed to do to sell our home. We are most grateful to work with them. They know what it takes to sell a house!”
“Mark was a great person to work with. I found him to have a high level of integrity and I would not hesitate to recommend Mark or use him again if conditions warranted. Mark was a pleasure to work with and I feel that he placed my requirements above his, a wonderful representation of a professional realtor and individual. Highly recommended!!”
“Because I was trying to do a long distance short sale, I needed someone who really knew what they were doing. I was given the name and number of Colin. He took on the challenge and a little over two years later, we finally closed. If you have done a short sale before, it is a very trying ordeal! Colin took good care of the house, had repairs done, and always had clients waiting in line with a new contract. I believe it was the 5th contract and a lot of patience that got us to closing.”
