Monthly data for the latest available year.
Monthly supply and activity totals for the latest available year.
Market gauge is calculated using active listings and pending sales from the most recently available reporting period (Jun 2026).
Southampton County’s home values have climbed notably over the past year, with the typical home value up more than 24 percent. Asking prices have risen even faster, as the median list price is nearly 29 percent higher than a year ago. Compared with Virginia overall, typical sale prices here are still lower, which may appeal to cost-conscious buyers.
June’s snapshot shows a typical home value of about $286,000 and a median list price around $375,000. Inventory tightened to 51 active listings and 2.8 months of supply, matching the statewide level and signaling limited options for shoppers.
Buyer activity is shifting, with homes sold down about 37 percent year over year, even as pending sales have surged nearly 68 percent, pointing to more closings ahead. Homes are also moving much faster than last year, with the median days on market dropping to about three and a half weeks, and roughly 42 percent of recent sales closing above the asking price while sale-to-list ratios hover just under 100 percent. With conditions tilted toward sellers but still offering opportunities for buyers, Agent Pronto can connect both buyers and sellers with a local Southampton County agent who understands these trends and can guide their next move.
Southampton County offers residents a welcoming, close-knit community with rich agricultural heritage, abundant outdoor recreation, accessible local schooling and services, and a calm, scenic rural lifestyle that supports families and small businesses.
Southampton County offers a quieter, more grounded lifestyle than nearby Suffolk or Chesapeake, with deep agricultural roots and a strong sense of local pride. Miles of fields, pine forests, and winding back roads shape daily life, while the towns of Courtland and Franklin provide essential services, schools, and community events.
Families appreciate the close knit feel of Southampton County Public Schools, with Friday night games and school activities serving as social anchors. Outdoor time is a big part of life here, from fishing and boating on the Blackwater River at Riverfront Park to youth sports and gatherings at the Southampton County Fairgrounds. For history buffs, the Southampton County Historical Society and the Rebecca Vaughan House highlight the county’s complex past and enduring traditions.
Local life revolves around small businesses, farms, and churches, with quick connections to Isle of Wight County and Petersburg for additional shopping, dining, and employment. Housing options range from farmhouses on acreage to modest in town homes, making preparation and realistic expectations essential in any market.
Whether you are relocating for space and quiet or planning to sell a long held family property, timing, pricing, and local insight matter. Agent Pronto connects buyers and sellers with Southampton County agents who understand the community and can guide each step with clear, informed advice.

“Judy did an excellent job throughout the process of selling our home - from the initial strategy thrugh closing. Her advice was absolutely critical in successfully selling the home. She went to extraordinary lengths to work through a couple of snags along the way, especially dealing with the HOA and various vendors. Absolutely recommend Judy for any real estate needs.”
“We were looking for a house in a certain area and told Pam of our needs. A house came on the market and she emailed me the listing right after it went live. We were the first people to call and tour the house and put in an offer, and I believe that the fast work that Pam put in was a decisive factor in how we got the home. There were days when I might call Pam half a dozen times and she always answered the phone and I could tell she had a smile on her face. This is the second time I've worked with her and I will definitely do it again in the future.”
“Jamie and his team are top tier. I have full confidence that we would not have had the same level of success had we not partnered with them. For those looking for a team that differentiates themselves, James Strum and the Strum Group is the obvious choice!”

“a excelent realtor. very profecional”
“A professional who is always ready to meet your needs and match your intensity in the home search if required. Her knowledge, contacts, and communication with my lender were the only reasons we were able to close on time. She was instrumental in helping me find the home that I wanted, as well as being the reason that I was able to move into my home by the date of closing.”
“It was my pleasure working with you Daniel. You listened to my concerns and responded positively. Thank you”

“I cannot recommend Lindsay enough. She was always available to answer my questions, kept me updated throughout the entire process, and made what could have been a stressful experience feel smooth and manageable. She genuinely cared about helping me find the right home and was there every step of the way. I am extremely grateful for all of her hard work and would not hesitate to work with her again or recommend her to my family and friends.”
“Debbie not only helped us find exactly what we were looking for, and where, but she helped us set up the sale of our previous house, and helped us negotiate consecutive closing dates as well as a possession maintenance period of our previous house in order to make our move easier. Having now worked with her on a sale and a purchase, plus her having done wonders for other family members, we would recommend her to anyone looking to purchase a home.”
“Carla is a seasoned agent with a wealth of knowledge in the Northern Virginia area. We worked with her in the past, both buying and selling homes. We were extremely happy throughout the process then, and on the recent sale of our home. She is the only agent I would use going forward should the need arise. Thank you Carla!!”
“Nick was great to work with! He was very personable and easy going. He made time for every home we wanted to see at the exact times we wanted to see it. He stuck with us even after a 6 month lull in looking at homes. I would consider Nick not only a professional, but he has become a friend.”
“Working with Boris in DC was an outstanding experience from start to finish. He was knowledgeable, responsive, and truly understood the DC market. Throughout the entire process, he made us feel informed and supported, always going above and beyond to answer questions and advocate for our interests. His professionalism, honesty, and attention to detail made what could have been a stressful experience feel smooth and manageable. I would highly recommend Boris to anyone looking to buy or sell a home in the DC area.”
“I cannot recommend Wes Sparks at eXp Realty highly enough! My father and I recently worked with Wes to sell my father's home, and the entire experience was seamless, professional, and incredibly successful. From our very first meeting, it was clear that Wes is an expert in his field. He brought a wealth of market knowledge and a strategic approach that gave us immediate confidence. Selling a family home can often be an emotional and complex process, but Wes handled everything with the utmost respect and patience.”
“Harvey Raffensperger at Iron Valley Real Estate was fantastic. We sold our home in Hampton in under three months, and honestly the whole process was way less painful than I expected. Harvey knows the local market well, kept us in the loop throughout, and was always easy to reach. The real test came when we ran into a really difficult buying agent — Harvey handled it calmly and professionally and kept everything from falling apart. We barely even felt the turbulence. If you're selling in the Hampton area, I'd go with Harvey without hesitation. Just a solid, trustworthy agent who gets the job done.”
