Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Jun 2026 - Aug 2026).

Gainsboro’s rolling three-month snapshot shows a relatively small but changing pool of homes. Active listings are down about a third from a year ago, while new listings have fallen nearly 80 percent. Even with fewer new properties coming on, months of supply has climbed almost 40 percent to around three times the level seen across Roanoke overall, which points to slower turnover.

Pricing has moved sharply higher in this period. The typical home value is up more than 45 percent year over year, even as the broader Roanoke market has seen prices dip slightly. List prices have also risen compared with last year, though not as quickly as sale prices, suggesting buyers are still meeting sellers close to their expectations.

Sales activity, on the other hand, has cooled notably. Homes sold in the rolling three-month window are down more than 60 percent from a year ago, and pending sales are about half of last year’s level, reflecting a quieter pace of signed contracts. Properties that do sell are trading at nearly 100 percent of list price, but none have closed above asking in this view, reinforcing a neutral balance between buyers and sellers. In a market where both pricing and activity can shift quickly, Agent Pronto can connect buyers and sellers with an agent who understands these local dynamics.

“It was great to once again work with Debra Mcelroy to find a new house. She had previously helped me find my first house in Virginia and this year, she helped me sell that house and purchase a new one. Because of my previous experience with her, I didn't even consider any other agents. And that decision paid off tremendously. She sold my house quickly and for a great price, then help me successfully win the bidding on the house I really wanted to purchase. Throughout the process, she was always on top of things and always available to respond to my questions. Her knowledge and experience were evident throughout and made the difference in several difficult situations.”

“Mike was knowledgeable about the area and understanding what was important to get our property sold. We had a very unique property that he was able to market and price very well. He was extremely efficient and helpful in the entire process, even before we officially decided to work with him, he took time to research and inform us on tax status that we were unaware of in order to successfully accomplish the goal of selling our property. He was patient but also urgent in his communication and helping us everything needed to reach our goal. We would definitely work with him again and refer him to others! 10/10 highly recommend!”

“Gurdeep did an exceptional job as our realtor. We were first time homebuyers and she made sure that we had all the information we needed throughout the process. The sellers gave us a tight timeline to close and she worked proactively with the inspectors and loan company, even on weekends, to make sure deadlines were hit. We had a smooth closing and she has also given us great contractor recommendations. Thank you Gurdeep!”
