May 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 (May 2026).
Year-over-year, Fairfax County’s home values are edging higher, with the typical home value up a bit more than 3 percent in May 2026. Compared with the state overall, where prices also rose around 3 percent, local values remain substantially higher, reinforcing the county’s position as a premium market within Virginia.
In the latest monthly snapshot, homes sold climbed sharply, rising about 26 percent from April and more than 14 percent from a year ago, while pending sales also ticked up. At the same time, active listings increased nearly 11 percent month over month and roughly 7 percent year over year, giving buyers more options than last spring even as the market gauge still points to a seller’s market.
Typical homes spent about 25 days on the market in May, a bit longer than both last month and last year, yet nearly half of sales still closed above list price and the average sale-to-list ratio hovered just over 101 percent. With only 1.8 months of supply compared with Virginia’s 2.6 months, conditions lean toward sellers, but expanding inventory and slightly longer marketing times can help serious buyers compete. Buyers and sellers who want to navigate these dynamics effectively can turn to Agent Pronto to connect with a local agent who understands Fairfax County’s trends in detail.

“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!!”
“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.”

He is an excellent negotiator who managed the transaction in a way that consistently protected our interests, turning what could have been a stressful experience into an unexpectedly smooth and successful one.”
“Wow.. where do I begin. I'm not one to leave reviews but I know someone somewhere might need as this type of service could make or break someone if they don't find the right realtor. Kim is simply awesome. If you need a real negotiator, you got Kim. Kim's attention to detail, communication, and dedication is impeccable. I trusted Kim throughout the entire process and at the end I now consider Kim as family. We hit a snag in process with the appraisal and Kim was immediately on it, reaching out to anyone possible late into the night. Within a few days, we were good to go, Kim has a trusted team and they're all genuinely helpful and go above and beyond. There's no doubt in my mind who is leading me through the next purchase. Kim sells and will get it done right!”
