Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Orange County real estate market. *
May 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 (May 2026).
Orange County is currently tilted toward sellers, with a seller’s market gauge and 3.5 months of supply, yet conditions are more balanced than in Virginia overall, which sits at 2.6 months. Home values are fairly steady, as the typical home value is about $416,700 and has barely changed year over year, while the average sale-to-list ratio sits just under 100 percent.
In May, inventory expanded and buyer activity stayed solid, helping explain the moderate seller advantage. Active listings are up about 16 percent from a year ago, and pending sales have also increased compared with last year, even as new listings slipped slightly month over month and year over year.
Momentum in closed sales and time on market shows a cooler, more deliberate pace than last year. Homes sold are up roughly 11 percent year over year, but the median days on market has stretched to about two months, and only around 21 percent of properties are selling above list, so both buyers and sellers can benefit from an Agent Pronto–recommended agent to navigate pricing, timing, and negotiation in this changing environment.
Orange County offers its residents a vibrant mix of historic charm and scenic countryside, close-knit community spirit, excellent schools, and abundant outdoor recreation, all contributing to a high quality of life.
Orange County blends rural landscapes with practical access to larger job and shopping centers. Located between Charlottesville and Fredericksburg, it offers a quieter pace while staying within reach of major services and commuter routes like Route 3 and Route 15.
Daily life is centered around small-town hubs such as Orange and Gordonsville, where you will find local dining, essential retail, and community events. Popular destinations include James Madison's Montpelier for history and trails, Lake Anna State Park for boating and fishing, and Orange County Public Schools campuses that anchor many neighborhoods. Residents also enjoy wineries, countryside drives, and easy access to medical services in nearby Spotsylvania County and Culpeper.
Outdoor enthusiasts appreciate local parks like Booster Park and youth programs through Orange County Parks & Recreation. Housing ranges from historic homes in town to newer subdivisions and acreage properties, so understanding road access, internet coverage, and well and septic considerations is important.
A knowledgeable local agent can help you balance commute times, school options, and lifestyle priorities, whether you are relocating or moving across town. Agent Pronto connects you with Orange County experts who know the back roads, zoning quirks, and market trends, helping both buyers and sellers move forward with less stress.

“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.”
“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.”
“Gurdeep was amazing - covering all the bases, communicating often, and working hard to sell our property in a short time. She made everything as easy as possible and was a source of excellent advice throughout the process, as well as a pleasure to work with. If we return to the area, we will absolutely seek her services again.”
“Barbie consistently arrives on time, communicates clearly and efficiently, and maintains a high level of professionalism.””
“Kris was wonderful to work with and we are greatful for her assistance in our fore ever home purchase”
“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!”
“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!”
“She is very personable and professional. She guided me through a very tough decision. I appreciated her commitment to help me reach my goal.”
“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.”
“Melissa Sanford was like an angel sent to me. She was professional...she kept me informed every step of the way and closing was a breeze. I would recommend her as an agent to anyone looking to sell their home/land. If I could give her more than five stars, I would.”
“Emilie was amazing to work with. She went above and beyond to make sure we got the perfect home.”
“Nealy was absolutely wonderful and we could not have completed the purchase without her. The homeowner's association was very hard to contact and she was persistent in pursuing them in order to address concerns we had with the homeowner's association. She was very diligent and kept us well informed along the way.”
“Angela Fink was wonderful! She was professional, personable, and kept me updated and informed on all issues. I would highly recommend her to my family and friends should they need a real estate agent.”
