Information and statistics on the latest trends in the New Kent 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).
Inventory in New Kent County has been edging up, with active listings rising about 6% over the past year to 223 and months of supply climbing to 3.8, a higher level than Virginia overall. At the same time, contract activity has cooled as pending sales dropped nearly 19% year over year, even though closings in September were up slightly from last year and month, suggesting buyers are being more selective about which homes they move forward on.
Pricing is adjusting to these conditions, with the typical home value down just over 3% year over year even as the median list price has jumped more than 13%. This gap indicates many sellers are still testing higher asking prices, yet only about one in five recent sales closed above list and the share selling over asking is lower than a year ago, showing buyers have a bit more leverage at the negotiation table.
Time on market tells a mixed story, as homes now sit a median of 34 days before selling, which is shorter than last year but longer than in August. With New Kent County trending more toward a buyer’s market than the state overall, both buyers and sellers can benefit from Agent Pronto’s help in finding an agent who understands how to navigate today’s shifting conditions.

“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 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 !”
“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!”
“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!”
“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’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!”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“Jennifer did an outstanding job helping us purchase our forever home. She was actively involved throughout every stage of the process and made the entire experience smooth and stress-free. Jennifer was friendly, responsive, and always available to answer our questions. She scheduled regular check-ins to keep us informed and consistently provided valuable advice and guidance along the way. Her professionalism, knowledge, and dedication truly set her apart. We highly recommend Jennifer to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. She exceeded our expectations, and we are grateful for all of her hard work in helping us find our forever home.”
“Cindy did an amazing job assisting us with a very quick sale of our Midlothian home at a competitive price. She was always profession and responsive. Her guidance through this process was invaluable!!!!”
“He was well-rounded, knowledgeable, and genuinely experienced with the negotiations process — and that made all the difference for me as a buyer. From our first conversation, it was clear he wasn’t just trying to close a deal; he was invested in making sure I understood every step, every document, and every option available to me. Real estate can feel overwhelming, especially when you’re balancing budget, location, timing, and the emotional side of choosing a home. He broke it down in a way that was calm, clear, and never rushed. Any question I had, whether it was about school districts, resale value, inspection red flags, or what a seller might accept in this market, he had a thoughtful answer backed by real data and real experience. He knew the neighborhoods inside and out, and he was honest about pros and cons instead of just hyping every house we walked into. We looked at a lot of properties together. Some were close, some were way off, and not once did I feel pressured to settle. He’d point out things I missed — foundation cracks, weird lot lines, signs a flip was rushed — and also help me see potential in houses I might have dismissed. His patience was huge. House hunting isn’t linear, and he understood that. There were weeks where nothing hit the market, and weeks where we saw five in one Saturday. He adjusted his schedule every time and kept me motivated without being pushy. When we finally found “the one,” his negotiation skills really showed. The listing was competitive and I was nervous about losing it. He pulled comps, talked strategy with me, and helped craft an offer that was strong but still protected me. He knew when to push and when to pause. We ended up negotiating repairs, closing costs, and a timeline that worked for both sides. Without him, I’m convinced I either would’ve overpaid or walked away frustrated. Even after closing, he didn’t disappear. He checked in, sent me a list of local contractors he trusted, and answered questions about property taxes and homestead exemptions. That kind of follow-through tells you someone cares about the relationship, not just the commission check. Buying a home is probably the biggest financial decision most of us make. You want someone in your corner who’s well-rounded — not just salesy, but knowledgeable about contracts, construction, lending, and people. That’s him. He’s sharp in negotiations, steady under pressure, and the kind of person you actually enjoy spending a Saturday driving house-to-house with. Because of that experience, I know I’ll be working with him again. Whether I’m hunting for my next place, helping family buy, or eventually selling, he’s the first call I’m making. If you want an agent who combines expertise with real integrity and makes the process feel manageable instead of stressful, I can’t recommend him highly enough. He didn’t just help me buy a house. He helped me make a smart decision I feel good about every time I walk through the front door.”
