Northampton County’s housing numbers show notable year-over-year change. Typical home values are down compared with last year, with the median sale price off by about 15 percent and the median list price down more than 16 percent. At the same time, buyer activity has surged, as homes sold have jumped more than 150 percent and pending sales are up about 35 percent from a year ago.
Zooming in on September 2026, the median sale price sits around $599,000, while the median list price is closer to $438,000, suggesting sellers may be adjusting expectations. Inventory has risen modestly, with active listings up to 169, and months of supply has tightened sharply to about 5.2 months, down significantly from earlier in the year. Homes are taking a median of 59 days to go under contract, which is quicker than just a few months ago even though it is still a bit slower than last year. About 19 percent of properties are selling above list, and the average sale-to-list ratio of roughly 97 percent shows most sellers are negotiating but not heavily discounting.
Compared with Virginia overall, Northampton County has higher typical sale prices but also more available supply than the state’s roughly 3.2 months, underscoring a neutral market balance between buyers and sellers.
