Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Jul 2026 - Sep 2026).
Petersburg currently leans toward sellers, with the market gauge at 26, but conditions are less tight than in prior years. A rolling three-month view through September 2026 shows about four months of supply, up sharply from roughly two months a year ago, signaling more options for buyers.
Prices, however, are still moving upward even as supply loosens. The typical home value over this rolling period is up about 15 percent year over year, while the median list price has risen more modestly, suggesting sellers are pricing closer to where buyers are willing to transact.
Activity has cooled from last year, with homes sold down about 14 percent and pending sales off nearly 24 percent year over year. Homes are also taking longer to sell, with median days on market rising from around 25 days a year ago to 37 days now, and the share of homes selling above list has slipped to about 16 percent, so both buyers and sellers can benefit from an Agent Pronto–recommended agent who understands how to navigate these shifting conditions.
Petersburg offers residents a rich mix of historic charm, strong community spirit, and accessible parks and programs that support an affordable, connected, and active lifestyle.
Petersburg offers a practical blend of historic character, city amenities, and everyday convenience that appeals to long‑time residents and new arrivals alike.

I highly recommend James for anyone in the market. He is most honest and on top of that; fun to work with.”
“I appreciate her knowledge, accessibility and response when I had questions.”
“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 !”
“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!”
“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!”
“I just closed on my house today. Tracy has been patient with the whole process with me through some bumps in the road. In the whole process she has kept in touch till I was ready and when I was she jumped into action always had my best interest first. I will always appreciate that and always will use her again if I ever want to sell or buy!!! She is the best there is!!!!”
“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.”
“Oh my goodness! This process was as smooth as a home purchase could be but it’s all due to the wonderfulness of Lyz Wilson!! She definitely made this more pleasurable and exciting than stressful. She is extremely knowledgeable and responsive which I love because I had billions of questions and her patience is Barre none!! We definitely felt like we had an advocate on our side as opposed to someone who didn’t care. I have made not only a new realtor but a friend! She and her team are amazing and I would use them time and time again!!! Thank you Lyz Wilson for ALL of your dedication to my family in this process, you rock!!!”
“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.”
“Working with Dena was an absolute pleasure. She made what could have been a stressful process feel completely smooth and manageable. I deeply appreciated her prompt communication, extensive market knowledge, and absolute willingness to track down answers to every question we had. If you want a helpful, dedicated realtor, Dena is the best choice!”
“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.”

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.”
