“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!”

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).
Year over year, James City County’s typical home value has moved lower, dropping nearly 16 percent even as median list prices are only slightly below last September. In contrast, Virginia as a whole has seen home values edge up, highlighting that this local market is adjusting more than the broader state market.
Looking at the latest month of September 2026, buyers are seeing more options, with active listings up about 20 percent from a year ago and months of supply rising to 2.9. Even with this added inventory, the market still leans toward sellers, with a seller’s market gauge and an average sale-to-list ratio around 99 percent.
Sales activity shows mixed signals, as homes sold have climbed roughly 13 percent year over year while pending sales have slipped slightly. At the same time, properties are taking about 39 days to go under contract and the share selling above list price has grown to just over one in five, so both buyers and sellers can benefit from an Agent Pronto–recommended agent who understands these shifting dynamics.

“Jasmine was AMAZING!! Attentive, well informed, and VERY PROFESSIONAL! Best Customer Service Support I’ve experienced in ages! The rest of team as well went above and beyond to help get me my new home. Every question was answered quickly and accurately. They made sure there were no unexpected surprises. All deadlines were explained and met. EXCELLENT AND JOB WELL DONE!!!”
“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.”
“Emma was great to work with! She was very responsive and listened to our requests which made this selling process much smoother. I would definitely recommend her as a realtor!”
“Kristina Price was so helpful, kind, was willing to explain anything I had questions about and supportive for my first home buying experience. She was also willing to back me up and give me honest and constructive information on the homes i was looking to buy. I would highly suggest her for anyone buying a home!”
“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!”
“Erika was extremely knowledgeable of the process and areas that we went to For the purchase of the house. She would do regular check ins and see how I was doing with the process.”
“Jordan was phenomenal is working with me and my timeline. He worked around what my family needed and kept me up to date about the whole home buying process. His knowledge of the local area really helped when finding a home in the school districts that I wanted.”
“We sold our condo for a good price in a slow market. Our realtor, David, kept the deal alive when it didn't seem like it was going to come together. The buyers wanted to close in 3 weeks and required a mortgage, so a tight schedule, but he played a major role in making it happen, knowing what needed to be done and following up constantly with all involved. He is knowledgeable, enthusiastic, responsive and a pleasure to work with. I did not know David before he helped us to list our condo, but I would be happy to choose him again.”
“I just closed on my house today. Tracy has been patient with the whole process with me through some bumps in the road. In the whole process she has kept in touch till I was ready and when I was she jumped into action always had my best interest first. I will always appreciate that and always will use her again if I ever want to sell or buy!!! She is the best there is!!!!”
“I’ve purchased two properties with Mike and both experiences were extremely smooth. Even after going through the homebuying process once, there’s still a lot to remember, but he made everything simple and stress-free. The first time I worked with him, I felt like all I needed to do was follow the process, he handled everything with professionalism and clarity. That’s why I felt confident choosing him again for my second home purchase. I ask a lot of questions because I’m still learning about homes, materials, and maintenance, and he always took the time to explain things thoroughly. His knowledge and ability to break things down in a way I could understand really helped me feel more confident in my decisions. During home tours, he gave honest, constructive feedback without ever trying to sway me. He supported my decision-making while helping me stay grounded and avoid emotional choices. His communication was excellent, and he kept me updated throughout the entire process. I also appreciated his guidance when reviewing counteroffers, he explained everything clearly and made sure I understood my options. Toward the end of my second purchase, I worked with Anastasia as well, and she was great. Overall, both experiences were smooth, organized, and completely stress-free. I would definitely work with him again for future purchases.”
“Wonderful experience from start to finish! He was always responsive, helpful, and made the entire home-buying process so much easier. I truly felt like he had my best interest in mind. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone buying or selling a home!”
“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!”
“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.”
“I can’t say enough good things about Nich as a Realtor. From the very beginning, he went above and beyond to make sure I had the help I needed. One example that really stood out was when I needed to measure the square footage of a property. Nich met me last minute at the property, even though it was on the opposite side of the water from him and during rush-hour traffic, just to help me get the measurements done. That kind of dedication and willingness to help is hard to find. What impressed me even more is that his service didn’t stop after the sale. A full year later, when it was time to renew my flood insurance, I reached out to Nich and he helped me without hesitation. He was just as helpful and responsive as he was when I was buying the house. Nich truly cares about his clients and treats you like more than just another transaction. He’s dependable, responsive, knowledgeable, and willing to go the extra mile whenever you need him. I would absolutely recommend Nich to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.”
“Debbie was excellent to work with. She knows the area extremely well, and that local knowledge showed in how she priced and listed our property — spot on from the start. Communication was always prompt, clear, and professional throughout the entire process, which made everything easy on our end. She stayed on top of the details and kept things moving all the way to closing. Highly recommended, and we wouldn't hesitate to work with her again.”
“Oh my goodness! This process was as smooth as a home purchase could be but it’s all due to the wonderfulness of Lyz Wilson!! She definitely made this more pleasurable and exciting than stressful. She is extremely knowledgeable and responsive which I love because I had billions of questions and her patience is Barre none!! We definitely felt like we had an advocate on our side as opposed to someone who didn’t care. I have made not only a new realtor but a friend! She and her team are amazing and I would use them time and time again!!! Thank you Lyz Wilson for ALL of your dedication to my family in this process, you rock!!!”
“Jen was amazing to work with. We live out of state and she was very thorough with our virtual walk throughs and showings and very honest. We found a great home. We really enjoyed working with Jen.”
“Joshua was so helpful in our home purchase. He showed up to show us a home prior to us being ready to purchase. I never forgot his helpfulness and quick response. When I had a friend PCS to this area and ask for our agent's information, I didn't hesitate to provide Joshua's information. He reached out to me to thank me for the referral. He asked some questions to see if we were now in the market to purchase. I had him call me to provide as much information as possible. From that phone call until closing on our current house was approximately three months. He was always responsive and quick. We saw a few homes. He had one more idea. I went along to be polite and it turned out to be THE house. He has vision, determination, and the ability to see things in a different way. Even with any hiccups along the way, he had suggestions and business relationships to get us to the finish line. He never made us feel like an annoyance. We will forever be grateful that he showed up to show us that house so long ago!”
“Jeremy was an amazing realtor for us as first-time home buyers! He is clearly knowledgeable and experienced & made the whole process as smooth as possible. I will be recommending him to everyone!”
