Information and statistics on the latest trends in the James City County real estate market. *
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, typical home values in James City County are up modestly, rising about 3 percent to roughly $506,000 in May 2026, while the statewide median sits a bit lower at around $453,000 and shows a similar pace of growth. Active listings climbed about 9 percent from last year to just over 500 homes, outpacing Virginia’s overall listing growth and giving buyers more options than they had a year ago.
In the latest monthly snapshot, prices have eased slightly from April, with the typical home value down a few percent and the median list price also slipping. Even with that softer pricing, homes are still selling for essentially full asking price, with the average sale-to-list ratio hovering right at 100 percent and about 31 percent of sales closing above list.
Market speed has shifted noticeably compared with last year, as the median days on market is now 28 days and up sharply year-over-year, even though it ticked down a bit from April. With just 2.1 months of supply and homes sold rising nearly 4 percent from a year earlier while pending sales dipped, conditions lean toward sellers but give buyers more room to shop, and Agent Pronto can connect both buyers and sellers with an agent who understands how to navigate these dynamics.
James City County provides residents with a balanced mix of historic charm, strong neighborhoods, quality schools, abundant outdoor recreation, and reliable community services that together support a high quality of life.
James City County combines historic roots with practical modern living, positioned between Williamsburg and the York County area and within reach of Newport News and Richmond. Residents appreciate its straightforward access to Route 199 and I‑64, which simplifies regional commutes while keeping daily life relatively relaxed.
The county’s amenities support a wide range of lifestyles. Outdoor enthusiasts frequent Freedom Park for trails and biking or head to Chickahominy Riverfront Park for boating and fishing. Family life is anchored by the Williamsburg-James City County Public Schools system and community programs at the James City County Recreation Center. For everyday convenience, residents have access to established shopping corridors, medical services, and local employers, many connected to the nearby Colonial Williamsburg tourism economy.
Dining options range from casual local spots to destination restaurants in and around Williamsburg, while seasonal events and attractions keep the calendar full without overwhelming day‑to‑day routines. Neighborhoods vary from established subdivisions with mature trees to low‑maintenance townhomes and rural-feeling properties with more land.
Because school boundaries, traffic patterns, and micro‑market trends can vary from one neighborhood to the next, working with a knowledgeable local agent can make decisions clearer and timelines smoother. Agent Pronto connects buyers and sellers in James City County with the right real estate professional so you can move forward with less stress and more confidence.

“It is not easy buying a property from across the country. William went to great lengths to help relieve any concerns we had. He answered calls and texts after normal working hours due to time zone differences. He was always postive and upbeat. I would not only reccommend William Mallory to anyone looking to purchase in Virginia Beach, I hope to use him again when the time comes to sell.”
“Great experience with Brooke. This is the fourth time she's been involved with a purchase and selling of a home.”
“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.”
“Bree Cox did a great job selling my home. She communicated exceptionally well, and we were always on the same page regarding our goals for the sale and our strategy for marketing the home. We were under contract in less than a week, and the process couldn’t have gone more smoothly. I would highly recommend Bree to anyone looking to buy or sell a home in this market.”

Thank you so much for helping us find our new home.”
“Gurdeep was amazing - covering all the bases, communicating often, and working hard to sell our property in a short time. She made everything as easy as possible and was a source of excellent advice throughout the process, as well as a pleasure to work with.

“I cannot recommend Wes Sparks at eXp Realty highly enough! My father and I recently worked with Wes to sell my father's home, and the entire experience was seamless, professional, and incredibly successful. From our very first meeting, it was clear that Wes is an expert in his field. He brought a wealth of market knowledge and a strategic approach that gave us immediate confidence. Selling a family home can often be an emotional and complex process, but Wes handled everything with the utmost respect and patience.”
