Merrifields currently shows a fairly balanced feel between buyers and sellers. Homes are not flying off the shelf, but they are also not sitting excessively long. A typical home value of about $383,750 and a median list price of $379,800 point to pricing that closely tracks actual values.
Values have climbed sharply over the past year, rising about 30.08 percent, while month-to-month growth of 0.99 percent suggests more moderate recent gains. Compared with Portsmouth overall, where the typical home value is around $270,000, Merrifields sits at a noticeably higher price level.
Activity is steady, with 7 new listings in March 2026 and 9 homes going under contract, while homes spent a median of 38.5 days on the market, down about 8.33 percent from the prior month but still much higher than a year ago. Roughly half of recent sales closed above list price, and the average sale-to-list ratio is essentially 1.0, indicating that buyers are often paying very close to asking. Looking ahead to April 2026, the typical home value is projected to edge up to $385,625, with the median list price expected to hold around $379,800.

“Thanks Ms. Debbie! You made the process a breeze and I appreciate your patience with all the questions of this first time homebuyer!”

“As a first-time homebuyer, working with Catherine was an amazing experience from start to finish. She was incredibly patient, knowledgeable, and always took the time to explain each step of the process in a way that made everything feel manageable and stress-free. Catherine was always responsive, professional, and truly had our best interests at heart. She made what could have been an overwhelming experience feel exciting and smooth. We couldn't have asked for a better person to guide us through our first home purchase and would highly recommend her to anyone-especially first-time buyers.”

“Ms. Sara was amazing! Many problems arose during the sales process. Ms. Sara never let any of that set us back, she had a solution for everything. She responds in a timely manner and she exhausts every option possible. I never felt confused or upset throughout the process because she made it as smooth as she possibly could.”
The Real Estate Group
“Our previous agent insisted that we find a different agent who was more familiar with the Hampton roads area after spending almost 3 months on the market. Rhodonna was highly recommended to us by a family friend, we heard so many great stories about her working hard on the buying and selling side. Once we were dropped by our previous agent, we then decided to reach out to Rhodonna and she agreed to represent us with no hesitation. She came in immediately casting vision for the staging of the home, targeting of potential buyers, and ensuring that we would walk away from the table satisfied. She fully agreed with us on our desirable outcome and worked very hard until it was done. In about 1 month, despite a tough market, Rhodonna had us under contract. Her follow up and follow through with the potential buyers that ended up purchasing our home was very professional and ideal for desired representation in an agent. We highly recommended Rhodonna! Hard worker, master negotiator, & closer!!”

“Our realtor Jessica Estrada is top-notch - she goes above and beyond in everything she does. She showed up numerous times to help our property be ready to sell and did whatever it took. Our house sold within two months due to her ads and persistence. Because of her, our house closed on time. She is knowledgeable, experienced, professional, and teaches others in her group. We are so thankful for Jessica.”

“Mark was a great person to work with. I found him to have a high level of integrity and I would not hesitate to recommend Mark or use him again if conditions warranted. Mark was a pleasure to work with and I feel that he placed my requirements above his, a wonderful representation of a professional realtor and individual. Highly recommended!!”

“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.”
