Information and statistics on the latest trends in the James City County real estate market, updated for April 2026. *
Year-over-year, James City County’s housing values have eased, with the typical home value down about 6.57 percent compared with last year. At roughly $462,500, homes here are still priced a bit higher than the Virginia state typical of about $449,500, even with that decline.
In February 2026, sellers listed homes at a median price of about $489,510, while buyers saw a median of 55 days on market, more than doubling from a year ago with a 139.13 percent jump. Inventory held at 264 homes, only about 2.33 percent higher than last year, and new listings slipped 11.05 percent year over year to 153.
Looking ahead to March 2026, the typical home value is projected to edge down to about $448,750 while the projected median list price is expected to rise toward $504,415, reflecting a mix of price pressure and seller optimism. Despite a seller’s market reading of 20 on the local gauge and only 3.9 months of supply, buyers are seeing some negotiating room, with about 17.05 percent of listings cutting prices and homes selling for about 98.67 percent of list on average. With pending sales off 6.94 percent from last year and 17.65 percent of homes selling above list, both buyers and sellers can benefit from Agent Pronto’s help in finding an agent who understands these conditions.
Market gauge is calculated based on the the number of active listings divided by home sales over the most recently available reporting period.

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!”

On the last house we saw, Lindsay decided to try out the townhomes in Pendleton. My husband and I fell in love and decided to move forward. We're definitely enjoying our new found freedom and commute to work now. Thanks Lindsay!”
“James was amazing coming in and telling me exactly what needed to be done in order to sell and get what was needed out of it. James made a couple calls and had contractors in the house the very next Monday. 2 weeks later the house was complete and ready to be staged and on the market. James knows the market and how to make things happen. 48hrs on market and contract was on house! All this while he was extremely professional, friendly and mostly compassionate as I had just lost my dad. His communication is fabulous. Best thing about James he will Always have a recommendation from me.”

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.”
“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!”
“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.”
“Amy was a God-sent for us! At a time when the market was extremely unpredictable and slow, Amy from the beginning to end went above and beyond to keep us abreast of our options and strategies to keep us in the best position to sell. Amy's people approach and awareness of the need for constant and effective communication is a lost art today. Not only would we use Amy again, but would recommend her as our first choice to anyone looking to but or sell their home.”
“Corey is a great listener and extremely responsive. His confidence in the process gave me confidence in the process. I would recommend him to anyone looking to sell a home and prefers a realtor with great industry experience.”
“Jurgen is great! He's transparent, always available, and consistently fight for what's best for you. Can't think of a better combination of qualities when it comes to buying/selling a home!”
“Debbie Martin is such a wonderful person. Very knowledgeable in her field. She has such a strong community of friends that she can reach out to for advice for repairs. I would strongly recommend her to anyone who is looking to purchase a home.”
