Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Hanover County real estate market. *
September 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 (Sep 2026).
Hanover County’s housing numbers over the past year show modest price softening alongside relatively steady activity. The typical home value in September was down a little over 2 percent from a year ago, even as homes sold ticked up slightly year over year. Inventory also edged higher, with active listings up about 2 percent and months of supply rising nearly 4 percent to 2.6 months, still pointing to a seller’s market overall.
Looking at the most recent month, list prices are moving up even as sale prices ease. The median list price climbed more than 6 percent from August to reach about $499,000, while the typical sale price slipped just over 2 percent month over month. Buyers are taking a bit more time, with median days on market increasing to 24 days compared with last month, though that’s still about 5 percent faster than a year ago.
Demand remains solid, with 113 homes sold in September and 130 properties going under contract, even as new listings dropped more than 12 percent from last year. Roughly one in three homes sold above list price, and the average sale-to-list ratio hovered just under 100 percent, indicating that most sellers are still getting very close to asking. Compared with Virginia overall, Hanover County continues to post higher typical home values and tighter supply, which can require careful strategy. Buyers and sellers can both benefit from an Agent Pronto–recommended real estate agent who knows how to navigate these conditions.
Hanover County offers its residents a high quality of life with top-notch schools, abundant parks and outdoor recreation, a thriving local economy, and a strong sense of community and history.
Hanover County stands out from nearby Richmond and Henrico County with its strong rural roots, historic crossroads communities, and quick access to regional job centers. Many residents choose Hanover for its quieter roads, generous lot sizes, and small town main streets, then commute into Ashland or the city for work and entertainment.
Local identity runs deep here, shaped by landmarks like Hanover Tavern and the historic Hanover Courthouse. Families are drawn to the county’s highly regarded public schools, including Hanover High School and Atlee High School. Weekend routines often revolve around youth sports at Pole Green Park, hiking or paddling near the North Anna River, and catching a game at The Diamond in nearby Richmond.
The dining scene reflects local pride, from long-running barbecue spots to breweries and cafés around Ashland. Seasonal farmers markets and community festivals make it easy to know your neighbors and feel part of something rooted yet evolving.
Whether you are moving up to a larger home, downsizing from acreage, or relocating from Chesterfield County, timing and preparation matter in Hanover’s competitive market. Agent Pronto can connect you with a local real estate professional who understands neighborhood-level trends and can help both buyers and sellers plan their next move with confidence.

“I contacted James long before I actually decided to list my home. He was most helpful every step of the way. He was extremely responsive in everey situation. I need a couple inspection items repaired and he arranged for that to be accomplished immediately and at minimal expense. James was always plkeasant nand fun to work with. I highly recommend James for anyone in the market. He is most honest and on top of that; fun to work with.”
“I appreciate her knowledge, accessibility and response when I had questions.”
“I was new to Richmond and got connected to Mike by booking a tour on Zillow. We clicked immediately! He showed an interest in my personal situation and the reasons for buying. He was very flexible as we looked at properties in neighborhoods that, looking back, I would not want to live in. He was patient, informative, and very consultative during the entire process. I highly recommend Mike! He’s become a friend and I look forward to seeing his continued business growth!”
“Raegan Cox was a phenomenal help in us buy our house. He went over and above many many times and stuck with the process, advocating for us each step of the way with the lender. I had to travel internationally while in the process and that was not a process. He made things happen when we were not in town. We cannot recommend Raegan high enough. He will help you get into a house and doesn't let things slip. Great communicator. Easy to work with.”
“This is my guy right here!!!! This man means business for his customers. I don't know a lot of real estate agents that get down and dirty for their clients and this man will not hesitate to make sure what you are buying is worth what you're about to invest into. He doesn't just go the extra mile, he goes the distance! Always respectful ,polite ,answers your calls and texts, updates frequently, through and through I highly recommend him. If you think you can't find a house, think again. He's pretty good at wheres waldo,he will find your future home and help bring it in for a smooth landing. Very easy to collaborate negotiation tactics with and ideas with, he studies the area and the housing market he even goes as far as schools and even more when looking. All in all it really calm smooth experience. Highly highly recommended !”
“Trent was fantastic to work with throughout our home-buying journey. Navigating the real estate market can be stressful, but Trent made the entire process smooth and straightforward. He is extremely knowledgeable about the local area, always quick to respond to our questions, and a great negotiator when it came time to put in an offer. We couldn't have asked for a better agent to help us secure our home. Highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy!”
“Hope and the CapCenter team are THE BEST in Hampton Roads! I will never work with anyone else. Hope made my first home buying experience in 2023 as smooth and seamless as possible. I purchased sight unseen (which is terrifying), but Hope's knowledge of the area and guidance helped me find the cutest townhouse in a great location. This year we purchased our second property and Hope was nothing short of amazing. She fights for her clients, always puts them first and answers any and all questions. If we ever have to leave Hampton Roads, I'm going to need Hope to get licensed wherever we move because I can't imagine buying a home without her.”
“Bree was amazing to work with as first-time home buyers! She made the entire process easier, answered all of our questions, and was always there to help us along the way. We’re so grateful to have had her help finding our first home and would absolutely recommend her to anyone!”
“My wife and I had the pleasure of working with Ashleigh who helped us find our beautiful first home. As first-time homebuyers, we had many questions and uncertainties, but she made the entire process smooth, stress-free, and easy to understand from beginning to end. Her professionalism, knowledge, patience, and dedication were evident every step of the way. She took the time to understand our needs, guided us through every stage of the home-buying journey, and always made herself available to answer our questions and provided valuable advice. What stood out most was her commitment to making sure we felt confident and comfortable throughout the process. Thanks to her expertise and hard work, we found a home that we truly love. We are incredibly grateful for all her support and highly recommend her to anyone, especially first-time homebuyers looking for a trustworthy and knowledgeable realtor. Thank you for helping make our dream of homeownership a reality!”
“Crystal made the entire experience so easy and painless. She was patient, knowledgeable about the area and pressure-free! She always acted quickly and was flexible with our schedule. She made everything feel seamless and easy - which we know is rare!”
“Venus was patient as we took our time getting the house ready, She gave us ideas to improve the house, provided referrals to get the work done. Once we were done she got our house on the market quickly and we sold our house in a weekend!! Closed in a month! She helped us go through the offers to select the one that best met our needs. Her team was responsive to questions and answered emails or text quickly, helping reduce our anxiety. Venus made going into retirement a little easier.”
“Ronnie went above and beyond. He exceeded all expectations. While working with us, Ronnie became our friend, not just our realtor. He connects with people on a personal level and truly cares for his clients. From now on, whenever we need a realtor, we are calling Ronnie.”
“Daniel and his team are fantastic! If you are deciding between Daniel and another realtor, I would highly recommend Daniel. He helped us sell our house in Richmond after we had relocated to Maryland. He managed minor repairs in the house, got it staged, and we had a full price offer just two days after being on the market. Throughout the process, Daniel was always quick to respond to any communications or questions with a thoughtful response (no matter the day or time). We always felt like he was trying to protect our interest and the money we would walk away with after closing. Again, highly, highly recommend him. He will get it done for you.”
“Phil was an excellent and informed facilitator throughout the homebuying process. As this was my first homebuying experience, he explained what I could expect. He asked helpful questions early on in the process to help me clarify for myself what I was looking for. Perhaps most importantly, he showed attentiveness to my preferences and enthusiasm for my search. His warm manner and quick responses to my questions made it clear that he was not just a passenger in the process but an interested companion. I will highly recommend him to friends, family, and anyone I know looking for help buying or selling.”
“Working with Dena was an absolute pleasure. She made what could have been a stressful process feel completely smooth and manageable. I deeply appreciated her prompt communication, extensive market knowledge, and absolute willingness to track down answers to every question we had. If you want a helpful, dedicated realtor, Dena is the best choice!”
“I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better realtor. As first time home buyers, my husband and I had countless questions throughout the process, but Billy was always incredibly attentive, patient, and knowledgeable. He took the time to explain everything clearly, making what could have been a stressful experience feel smooth and manageable. We are so grateful for all of his hard work and dedication.”
“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.”
“Working with Lauren was an incredible experience from start to finish. Selling a home can be stressful, but Lauren made the entire process feel smooth and manageable. She was always communicative, kept us informed every step of the way, and was readily available to answer our questions or jump on a call whenever we needed her. What really stood out was her dedication to her clients. She went above and beyond by helping us navigate some unexpected condo association issues, which we truly appreciated. Her knowledge, professionalism, and positive attitude gave us complete confidence throughout the process. Thanks to Lauren's expertise and strategy, we received a very competitive offer just 11 days after listing our home, and it sold quickly. We always felt like we were in great hands and are so grateful for everything she did to help us achieve such a great outcome. We highly recommend Lauren to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. She genuinely cares about her clients and works tirelessly to make the experience as successful and stress-free as possible. We would choose her again without hesitation!”
“Cailey was awesome. She listened to what I liked, what I wanted, what I didn't know and what my challenges were. She was helpful, understanding and patient. She took my concerns and questions seriously and always had my satisfaction in the forefront. Highly recommend.”
“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.”
