Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Southampton County real estate market. *
September 2026
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 (Sep 2026).
Year-over-year, Southampton County’s typical home value has dipped slightly, down about 5 percent, even as the median list price has climbed roughly 10 percent. Homes are also selling more quickly than a year ago, with median days on market down about 15 percent. Inventory has tightened in terms of months of supply, falling more than a third to 3.2 months, which supports the current seller’s market reading.
In the latest September 2026 snapshot, the typical home value sits at about $286,000, while the median list price stands near $308,000. Compared with the broader Virginia market, local values are lower than the state’s roughly $424,000 median sale price, yet Southampton County shows similar inventory balance with the same 3.2 months of supply.
Short-term shifts point to rising activity and stronger demand. Homes sold jumped more than 10 percent from last year, pending sales are up nearly 30 percent, and about 43 percent of recent sales closed above the asking price, with the average sale-to-list ratio just over 100 percent. At the same time, listings are moving faster month over month, as median days on market dropped from 50 days in August to 29 days in September. With conditions tilting toward sellers but still offering options for buyers, Agent Pronto can connect both buyers and sellers with an agent who understands Southampton County’s numbers and trends.
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.

“Jasmine was AMAZING!! Attentive, well informed, and VERY PROFESSIONAL! Best Customer Service Support I’ve experienced in ages! The rest of team as well went above and beyond to help get me my new home. Every question was answered quickly and accurately. They made sure there were no unexpected surprises. All deadlines were explained and met. EXCELLENT AND JOB WELL DONE!!!”
“Joel was absolutely exceptional in the process of selling our property. He was friendly, communicative, and very knowledgeable of the market and the area we were listing. We had a horrific experience with our previous realtor, ultimately resulting in the house being on the market for 4 months with no offers. Joel suggested small improvements/things to boost curb appeal, connecting us with professional stagers and photographers. And, after listing were under contract in only 2 weeks. Even during the pending sale time we still had regular communication with Joel on updates, and he was able to connect us seamlessly to professionals we needed for updates/picra items. We cannot recommend him enough!!!”
“I just closed on my house today. Tracy has been patient with the whole process with me through some bumps in the road. In the whole process she has kept in touch till I was ready and when I was she jumped into action always had my best interest first. I will always appreciate that and always will use her again if I ever want to sell or buy!!! She is the best there is!!!!”
“Wonderful experience from start to finish! He was always responsive, helpful, and made the entire home-buying process so much easier. I truly felt like he had my best interest in mind. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone buying or selling a home!”
“Jen was amazing to work with. We live out of state and she was very thorough with our virtual walk throughs and showings and very honest. We found a great home. We really enjoyed working with Jen.”
“Joshua was so helpful in our home purchase. He showed up to show us a home prior to us being ready to purchase. I never forgot his helpfulness and quick response. When I had a friend PCS to this area and ask for our agent's information, I didn't hesitate to provide Joshua's information. He reached out to me to thank me for the referral. He asked some questions to see if we were now in the market to purchase. I had him call me to provide as much information as possible. From that phone call until closing on our current house was approximately three months. He was always responsive and quick. We saw a few homes. He had one more idea. I went along to be polite and it turned out to be THE house. He has vision, determination, and the ability to see things in a different way. Even with any hiccups along the way, he had suggestions and business relationships to get us to the finish line. He never made us feel like an annoyance. We will forever be grateful that he showed up to show us that house so long ago!”
“Jeremy was an amazing realtor for us as first-time home buyers! He is clearly knowledgeable and experienced & made the whole process as smooth as possible. I will be recommending him to everyone!”
“There are not enough words to express how thankful we were to have found Megan as our agent. As first-time home buyers, the whole journey seemed so unfamiliar and intimidating. Megan and her network treated us as if we had known them personally for our entire lives. She was compassionate enough to put our needs in front of her own and never made us feel like we were pressured into doing anything. We looked at over 20 houses with 4 offers, and she turned every stressful, disappointing, and exhausting moment into an optimistic opportunity until we found our home. From our baby crying through our phone conversations to dealing with all our hesitation and uncertainty, Megan was not only professional but joyous through it all. If there was one thing we did correctly in our home buying experience, it was choosing Megan Costa. We cannot thank her enough.”
“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.”
“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.”
“Working with this agent was a great experience. They were always available to answer questions, offer guidance, and provide support every step of the way. Their expertise and dedication made the entire process easy and enjoyable. I couldn’t recommend them more highly.”
“I cannot say enough.Amazing things about Melissa!! From the very beginning, she was professional kind.And incredibly patient, walking me through every step of the home buying process with genuine care and clarity. What stood out the most is how she truly listened.And never rushed or pressured me, always making sure I felt comfortable.And was informed. It is rare to find someone who combines such deep expertise with such a warm and personal touch. If you're looking for a real estate agent who will treat you more than just a transaction, someone who truly cares Melissa Boyce is the agent you want on your side.”
“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.”
“Christine made such a difficult task so much easier. She was so knowledgeable, kind, responsive, and accommodating. As first time home buyers, we felt more than educated and secure in our purchase while working with Christine. We would recommend her to anyone buying a home.”
“Bottom Line: Without Adam’s help—which went far beyond the role of a typical buyer’s agent—I wouldn't be a homeowner today. My home-buying journey was unusually challenging due to unresponsive sellers, misleading listings, and issues with a poor lender. Despite all that, Adam was there every step of the way. He leveraged his network and experience to ensure everything stayed on track and deadlines were met. His online tools and resources are excellent—well-organized, informative, and uniquely tailored. For example, he created a custom search that excluded properties in hurricane zones—something I haven't seen offered by other agents. Adam is exceptionally honest and supportive. Not once during the process did I question whether I could trust him. That kind of confidence is invaluable when making such a significant decision as buying a home. Based on my experience, I wholeheartedly recommend Adam to anyone in need of a reliable, knowledgeable, and genuinely caring real estate agent.”
“He was amazing!!!! Everything went smooth and helped alot during the process any time anything came up! He even saw the back of the houses siding needed to be cleaned and suprised us with a free power washing during signing!! Above and beyond!”
“It was a short sale with a lot going on, and she was able to weather the storm She helped me buy my house and I wasn’t even in the state! Amazing work done by Lee.”
“Mary was a wonder to work with, this was my first time selling and she explained every step to me. She handled basically everything to help for a faster and easier sale. I can not recommend her enough!”
“Shannon Paschall made selling my home and buying the next one such a smooth experience. She took a ton off my plate, which really helped me focus on everything else that comes with moving. I never felt overwhelmed because she stayed on top of everything and kept me in the loop every step of the way. She’s super responsive—if she doesn’t answer right away, she always calls back quickly, which honestly feels like a rare thing these days! I really appreciated how easy she made the whole process. Highly recommend working with her!”
“Exceptional Real Estate Agent – Highly Recommended! I cannot say enough great things about Tondra Devarel and the outstanding job they did in selling my home. From start to finish, she was professional, knowledgeable, and dedicated to ensuring we got the best possible deal in an acceptable timeframe. Tondra took the time to understand our goals, provided expert advice on pricing and marketing, and leveraged their extensive network to attract the right buyers. Her negotiation skills were top-notch, ensuring we maximized my home’s value while making the process as smooth as possible. Throughout the entire experience, communication was excellent. I was always kept informed, and any questions or concerns I had were addressed promptly. Selling a home can be stressful, but Tondra made it feel seamless with their expertise, patience, and commitment. If you’re looking for a real estate agent who truly has your best interests at heart, look no further than Tondra. I couldn’t be happier with the results and highly recommend them to anyone looking to buy or sell a home!”
