South Roanoke’s rolling three-month data through August 2026 shows home values moving higher than a year ago. The typical home value is up nearly 10 percent year over year, far outpacing the slight dip seen across the broader Roanoke city market. At the same time, the share of homes selling above list has fallen compared with last year, signaling a cooler, more negotiable environment for buyers.
Current inventory looks meaningfully higher than a year ago, with active listings up about 30 percent and months of supply jumping to 4.4. Even with more choices, homes are taking roughly the same time to sell as last year, with a median 42 days on market, which is much slower than the rapid sales seen in earlier periods in 2024.
Sales activity has softened, as homes sold over the latest three months are down nearly 30 percent year over year, though pending sales have ticked up compared with last year. New listings are also higher than a year ago, giving buyers more options even as demand has cooled. With South Roanoke’s typical home value more than double the citywide figure, this neighborhood is positioned as a higher-priced segment within the Roanoke market.
