Information and statistics on the latest trends in the New Kent County real estate market, updated for April 2026. *
Inventory in New Kent County has been expanding, with 139 homes on the market, up 6.92% from last month and 17.8% over the past year. Contract activity is softer, as 40 pending sales trail last year’s pace by 24.53% while 55 new listings are down 15.38%, signaling slower turnover and more choices for active shoppers.
Prices are adjusting to this cooler demand, with the typical home value at about $400,000, down 13.03% year over year and 15.79% month over month. Compared with the Virginia average of $449,500, local values are lower, and projections show the typical home value edging down toward $362,500 next month alongside a projected median list price of roughly $545,700.
Time on market has stretched to a median of 84 days, up 50% from last month and 140% from last year, even as months of supply sits at 4.6 and the area is still labeled a Seller's Market with a gauge of 35. Despite this, pricing power is mixed, with about 15.83% of listings seeing a price drop, roughly 16.67% of sales closing above list, and an average sale-to-list ratio just over 100%, so both buyers and sellers can benefit from an Agent Pronto–recommended agent to navigate conditions and negotiate effectively.
Market gauge is calculated based on the the number of active listings divided by home sales over the most recently available reporting period.

“Bree was incredible to work with. She was consistent, reliable, and extremely knowledgeable throughout the entire process. Her communication and expertise ultimately helped us secure our home despite multiple competing offers. From the very beginning, she was always in our corner and advocated for us every step of the way until the finish line. She supported us through the entire journey and even attended our closing, which meant so much to us.”
“Working with this agent was a great experience. They were always available to answer questions, offer guidance, and provide support every step of the way. Their expertise and dedication made the entire process easy and enjoyable. I couldn’t recommend them more highly.”
“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.”

“Working with Ty was great! He is very laid back and was very patient with us throughout our journey of finding a home. He made himself available to us on our multiple trips to the Richmond area as we were traveling from two hours away. He let us go at our own pace and was ready for us when we were. Highly recommend!”
“My overall experience has been great! My wife and I decided on the same Realtor - which is rare we agree after 38 years. We chose Raquel Ott and she has done a superb job for us!!”
“Aaron Gilbert was a pleasure to work with. He sold our house in 3 days. He did things above and beyond the call of duty. I would recommend him to anyone selling a house.”

“This was the second property we have both purchased and sold with Sandi Crawford as our real estate agent. Throughout all aspects of the transaction, Sandi expertly represented us and our best interests. She helped us see how undervalued the sales had been in our neighborhood and helped us sell for top of market. We receive a full list offer in under 48-hours (with 6 others as backups!) and with inspection repairs waived by the purchaser. Sandi helped us choose the perfect time to list our home when it was able to get the most recognition on the market, and showed us how we could reach our financial objectives with the sale. I would absolutely recommend Sandi Crawford to anyone looking to buy or sell a home, as she is the utmost professional in all aspects of what a real estate agent should be. She understands her numbers, understands her market, and understand her people! A+++ representation, start-to -inish!”
“Because I was trying to do a long distance short sale, I needed someone who really knew what they were doing. I was given the name and number of Colin. He took on the challenge and a little over two years later, we finally closed. If you have done a short sale before, it is a very trying ordeal! Colin took good care of the house, had repairs done, and always had clients waiting in line with a new contract. I believe it was the 5th contract and a lot of patience that got us to closing.”
