Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Oakwood real estate market, updated for April 2026. *
Homes in Oakwood are taking longer to sell, with the median days on market rising to about 51.5 days in February 2026 and up more than 21 percent just since the prior month. Compared with last year, that pace is dramatically slower, with days on market up more than 186 percent, signaling that buyers generally have more time to make decisions than before.
Prices are adjusting alongside this slower pace. The typical home value in Oakwood is about $240,000, down nearly 20 percent year over year and well below the broader Richmond typical value of $400,000. Sellers are still getting close to what they ask, with homes selling for about 97.5 percent of list price and roughly 12.5 percent closing above asking.
Supply has tightened even as homes take longer to move. Inventory sits at just 5 homes, down 37.5 percent from last year, and only 6 new listings came to market, a drop of about two thirds year over year. Pending sales are also down more than 50 percent, indicating fewer deals in the pipeline, and projections for March show inventory edging down to about 3 homes and the median list price slipping to around $349,750. With Oakwood still labeled a seller’s market at a 6 on the local gauge, both buyers navigating limited options and sellers balancing pricing strategy can benefit from an Agent Pronto–recommended agent to guide their decisions.
Market gauge is calculated based on the the number of active listings divided by home sales over the most recently available reporting period.

James knows the market and how to make things happen. 48hrs on market and contract was on house!

“This was the second property we have both purchased and sold with Sandi Crawford as our real estate agent. Throughout all aspects of the transaction, Sandi expertly represented us and our best interests. She helped us see how undervalued the sales had been in our neighborhood and helped us sell for top of market. We receive a full list offer in under 48-hours (with 6 others as backups!) and with inspection repairs waived by the purchaser. Sandi helped us choose the perfect time to list our home when it was able to get the most recognition on the market, and showed us how we could reach our financial objectives with the sale. I would absolutely recommend Sandi Crawford to anyone looking to buy or sell a home, as she is the utmost professional in all aspects of what a real estate agent should be. She understands her numbers, understands her market, and understand her people! A+++ representation, start-to -inish!”
