Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Mathews County real estate market, updated for April 2026. *
Mathews County is seeing a relatively small pool of homes for sale, with 39 active listings and 12 new listings in February 2026. Inventory has risen about 11 percent over the past year and is up slightly month over month, pushing months of supply to 7.8. Contract activity is steady, with 11 pending sales and a 10 percent increase in pending deals compared with last year.
Pricing is adjusting to this higher supply and more measured demand. The typical home value is about $280,000, which is down roughly 29 percent from a year ago but up 6.67 percent since last month, while the median list price sits higher at $370,000 and has climbed more than 4 percent month over month. Homes are taking about 52 days to go under contract, a pace that is more than 40 percent faster than a year ago even after a recent uptick from last month.
Sellers are often needing to be flexible, as about 20 percent of listings have seen a price drop and the average sale-to-list ratio is around 0.94, with virtually no homes closing above list price. Even with these conditions, the area still leans toward a seller’s market with a gauge reading of 35, while typical values remain well below the Virginia average of $449,500. Whether you are a buyer looking for opportunities or a seller trying to price correctly, Agent Pronto can connect you with a local agent who understands these trends.
Market gauge is calculated based on the the number of active listings divided by home sales over the most recently available reporting period.
Mathews County offers residents a close-knit community, scenic coastal living, and access to outdoor recreation and locally owned services that together support a high quality of life.
Mathews County immediately stands apart from nearby Gloucester County and York County with its quiet peninsula setting and miles of shoreline on the Chesapeake Bay. Here, life is shaped by the tides, working watermen, and small communities where people tend to know their neighbors and local history is still part of everyday conversation.
The county seat, Mathews Courthouse, is a compact hub with local shops, services, and the historic Mathews County Visitor & Information Center, which also highlights community events. Outdoor enthusiasts gravitate to New Point Comfort Lighthouse Preserve and Bethel Beach Natural Area Preserve, where wide skies and open water are the backdrop for kayaking, birding, and quiet walks. Residents rely on resources like Mathews County Public Schools and the Mathews Memorial Library for education and community programs.
Housing options range from older farmhouses and waterfront retreats to modest in-town homes, often with a stronger focus on land, water access, and outbuildings than in more suburban areas around Newport News. Because inventory can be limited and each property is unique, understanding flood zones, shoreline regulations, and local service providers is important.
Whether you are planning to sell a long-held family home or time a move to catch the right creekfront listing, working with the right local agent is critical. Agent Pronto can connect both buyers and sellers with a Mathews County specialist who is ready to help you prepare and act at the right moment.

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!”

“Lindsay made the buying process painless and simple to understand. We had gone to see so many houses in the Ruther Glen area with no luck. 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.”
