Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Northumberland County real estate market. *
July 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 (Jul 2026).
Inventory in Northumberland County has expanded notably, with active listings up more than 20 percent year over year to 216, well above the statewide growth pace. Contract activity is steady rather than surging, as pending sales are only modestly higher than last year and closed sales are down more than 16 percent year over year, pointing to a more deliberate market.
Pricing shows a mix of strength and recent cooling, with the typical home value up about 19 percent from a year ago even after an almost 9 percent month-over-month dip in July. List prices are also trending much higher than last year, rising more than a third year over year, yet sellers are receiving about 95 percent of list on average and only around 13 percent of sales are closing above asking.
Time on market has lengthened dramatically, with the median days on market jumping to 82, far higher than a year ago and above the pace seen statewide. Even with that slower tempo, months of supply has dropped from early-spring highs to 5.7, placing Northumberland County in a neutral market where neither buyers nor sellers have a clear edge. In this kind of shifting environment, both buyers and sellers can benefit from Agent Pronto’s help connecting with an experienced local agent who understands these trends.
Northumberland County offers residents a close-knit community, scenic waterfronts, abundant outdoor opportunities, rich local history, and a welcoming, balanced pace that supports thriving local businesses and meaningful everyday life.
Northumberland County offers a relaxed coastal setting along the lower Potomac and Rappahannock rivers with practical access to essentials, services, and recreation. Centered around communities like Heathsville, Kilmarnock, Reedville, and Callao, the county blends small town convenience with rural and waterfront living that appeals to year round residents and second home buyers.
Daily needs are close at hand. Heathsville provides county services and events at Rice’s Hotel / Hughlett’s Tavern, while nearby Kilmarnock features grocery options, healthcare at Rappahannock General Hospital, and the Kilmarnock Town Centre Park. Families appreciate access to Northumberland County Public Schools and community programs at the Northumberland Public Library.
Outdoor life is a major draw. Boaters and anglers enjoy the marinas and waterfront in Reedville, with history highlighted at the Reedville Fishermen’s Museum. Residents can explore nearby Belle Isle State Park and the scenic byways of the Northern Neck while still reaching Richmond or Fredericksburg for work, shopping, or dining. Weekends often center on local seafood, farmers markets, and community festivals in Northumberland County.
Real estate here ranges from riverfront retreats to in town homes and acreage, each with specific considerations for shoreline, wells, and septic systems. A knowledgeable local agent can explain these details, navigate rural regulations, and time the market so that buying or selling in Northumberland County feels more manageable. Agent Pronto connects you with that local expertise to reduce stress for both buyers and sellers.

“It was a pleasure working with William Mallory. He is patient, diligent, and has the buyers best interest at heart. I recommend working with him as he makes the home buying experience exciting and makes you feel supported throughout the process.”
“Kris was excellent to work with. Kris helped us navigate through the home buying process while we were not able to be present, due to being stationed overseas. She was very easy to contact and answered all our questions quickly. She helped us though a the home buying process with ease and confidence. I would recommend Kris to friends and would love to work with her again in the future.”
“Mike was an excellent agent to work with. He went above and beyond to find out all the information on the property details and answers to all questions we had. He was available anytime we needed. We would recommend him to anyone interested in purchasing or selling a home. He is the best!!”
“Gurdeep is a top notch realtor. We have worked with her over the last 16 years on the purchase of 3 homes and the sale of 2 homes. Gurdeep has handled each transaction with extraordinary knowledge, professionalism, and care. She has a keen eye for detail and makes sure all aspects of the sale are done correctly. She is incredibly articulate and uses her skills to finesse through challenging moments with excellent negotiation skills. Her media presentation for our property included a beautiful flyer presentation and drone footage of our 5 acre property that were completely above and beyond. This attracted serious buyers immediately. We have always had a fantastic experience with Gurdeep and we can’t recommend her enough! If you want the BEST, then choose Gurdeep!”
“Marc is the consummate professional, with top notch expertise and excellent people skills. Marc creates an environment where you truly feel heard and understood, and he makes you feel completely at ease throughout the entire process. Marc is very responsive and easy to get in touch with. A true pleasure to work with, I would highly recommend him.”
“Judy did an excellent job throughout the process of selling our home - from the initial strategy thrugh closing. Her advice was absolutely critical in successfully selling the home. She went to extraordinary lengths to work through a couple of snags along the way, especially dealing with the HOA and various vendors. Absolutely recommend Judy for any real estate needs.”
“We were looking for a house in a certain area and told Pam of our needs. A house came on the market and she emailed me the listing right after it went live. We were the first people to call and tour the house and put in an offer, and I believe that the fast work that Pam put in was a decisive factor in how we got the home. There were days when I might call Pam half a dozen times and she always answered the phone and I could tell she had a smile on her face. This is the second time I've worked with her and I will definitely do it again in the future.”
“Jamie and his team are top tier. I have full confidence that we would not have had the same level of success had we not partnered with them. For those looking for a team that differentiates themselves, James Strum and the Strum Group is the obvious choice!”
“It was a pleasure working with Debra. Her approach to getting my house sold quickly and for the best price was just what I needed. She easily navigated the many obstacles that came up during the process and her knowledge and experience really made the difference. I felt very much at ease knowing Debra was on the job.”
“I can't say enough great things about how Bree handled my whole sales experience. She was on top of every aspect in getting my house exposed to as many potential buyers as possible.

“We were so happy we picked Karen as our realtor. The only realtor that told us Virginia is a buyer beware state. The process is long and Karen has the patience and flexibility to work with you. We received excellent customer service and highly recommend her for all your realtor needs. Thank You, Karen for helping us find our new home.”
“I cannot recommend Lindsay enough. She was always available to answer my questions, kept me updated throughout the entire process, and made what could have been a stressful experience feel smooth and manageable. She genuinely cared about helping me find the right home and was there every step of the way. I am extremely grateful for all of her hard work and would not hesitate to work with her again or recommend her to my family and friends.”
“Debbie not only helped us find exactly what we were looking for, and where, but she helped us set up the sale of our previous house, and helped us negotiate consecutive closing dates as well as a possession maintenance period of our previous house in order to make our move easier. Having now worked with her on a sale and a purchase, plus her having done wonders for other family members, we would recommend her to anyone looking to purchase 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!!”
“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.”
“Working with Boris in DC was an outstanding experience from start to finish. He was knowledgeable, responsive, and truly understood the DC market. Throughout the entire process, he made us feel informed and supported, always going above and beyond to answer questions and advocate for our interests. His professionalism, honesty, and attention to detail made what could have been a stressful experience feel smooth and manageable. I would highly recommend Boris to anyone looking to buy or sell a home in the DC area.”
“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.”
