Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Jackson County real estate market. *
August 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 (Aug 2026).
Inventory and contract activity in Jackson County have cooled heading into August 2026. Active listings held steady at 45 and are down slightly from last year, while homes sold slipped to 11 for the month and new listings fell sharply from July, pointing to fewer options coming to market.
Pricing is reacting in complex ways as buyers and sellers adjust to these shifts. The typical home value sits around $209,300, up nearly 13 percent year over year, yet the median list price has surged almost 80 percent over the same time, suggesting sellers are testing higher price points even as demand moderates.
Conditions on the ground feel fast-paced despite the recent pullback in sales. Homes are going under contract quickly with a median of just 4 days on market, but months of supply has climbed to 3.3 and the share of homes selling above list has dropped to zero, signaling more balance than earlier in the year and slightly tighter supply than West Virginia overall. In this evolving environment, both buyers and sellers can benefit from Agent Pronto’s help connecting with a local agent who understands Jackson County’s trends.
Jackson County offers residents a welcoming, close-knit community with abundant outdoor recreation, scenic landscapes, affordable living, and convenient access to local shops, parks, schools, and services, all enriched by a vibrant local culture.
Jackson County offers small‑town communities with practical access to larger employment and shopping hubs in Kanawha County and Wood County. With Route 33 and I‑77 nearby, daily commuting to Charleston or Parkersburg is straightforward while residents still enjoy quieter streets and open space.
Ripley serves as the county seat, with local schools, healthcare, and services close to established neighborhoods and newer construction. Families appreciate the walkable setting around Ripley Elementary School and community events at the Jackson County Courthouse Square. To the south, Ravenswood sits along the Ohio River and offers riverfront parks and quick access to Ravenswood High School, making it convenient for students and commuters.
Outdoor recreation is a major draw. Residents spend weekends at Cedar Lakes Conference Center for walking trails and water access, or explore fields and playgrounds at Ripley City Park. Local services, shops, and dining cluster along Ripley’s and Ravenswood’s main corridors, so daily errands remain efficient without long drives.
Whether you are relocating from another county or moving across town, a local Jackson County real estate agent can clarify school zones, commute times, and neighborhood trends. Agent Pronto connects buyers and sellers with the right area expert so the entire process feels more informed and less stressful.

“We couldn’t have asked for a better real estate agent than Christopher Beal! From the very beginning to the day we closed on our new home, Christopher demonstrated an exceptional level of professionalism, dedication, honesty, and genuine care for our family. Relocating from South Dakota to Texas and purchasing a home was a major milestone for our family, and Christopher helped make what could have been an overwhelming experience feel smooth and manageable. His knowledge of the real estate market, attention to detail, outstanding communication, and willingness to go above and beyond gave us confidence throughout the entire process. What truly sets Christopher apart is that he doesn’t treat his clients like just another transaction. He genuinely cares about the people and families he represents. He was patient, approachable, and always willing to answer questions, address concerns, and ensure we understood every step of the way.”
“She did a good and there was good connection”
“Julie and her team worked very well together to assure that my mother received the best offer for her home and were very helpful through this process. With all that had to be done, the selling of my mother's home was the easiest by far. Julie was great with communication, ideas and took the time needed to explain everything to my mother thoroughly. She was always there when we needed her. Thank you, Julie.😊”
“Tracy made the entire process so easy amd fun. She was there everytime I called, and was able to answer every question we had, and even more questions that I didn't even know to ask. She helped us find the perfect house and was so patient while we were trying to narrow down to what we actually wanted. I honestly couldn't imagine doing this without her. I will recommend her to anyone i know buying a home for sure!”
“Bree was amazing to work with as first-time home buyers! She made the entire process easier, answered all of our questions, and was always there to help us along the way. We’re so grateful to have had her help finding our first home and would absolutely recommend her to anyone!”

“We have now sold two homes and bought two homes in the last 7 years with Sarah Padgett and her team and we would use her again if the time comes. She's thorough, kind, witty and always responsive to our questions, texts or emails. Thanks again, Sarah!”
“Incredibly patient with us as we searched listings; we looked forward to Micheal's frequent listing emails, and really appreciated it when he gave us a heads up on properties that would be listed soon. Always arrived promptly at showings. Communicated clearly throughout. In the end, Micheal was outstanding in the offer process, worked really well with our lender and other providers, and was frank with us when necessary. Hope to be in our home a long time, but would absolutely recommend to anyone looking in Cincinnati. It was a pleasure to work with Michael Teggart.”
“Amy Machita did an excellent job handling the sale of our property. Because the property was in poor condition and needed substantial renovation, it required the right marketing strategy and needed to be presented specifically as an investment opportunity. Amy’s experience with investment properties and properties requiring rehabilitation was extremely valuable. She understood how to market it to the right buyers, handled every detail efficiently, and kept us informed throughout the process. Amy made what could have been a difficult sale remarkably easy and stress-free. I truly appreciate everything she did and would highly recommend her.”
“Professional, Knowledgeable, and Friendly”
“Naomi Keney was very helpful, knowledgeable and professional with the purchase of our new home. She was very prompt with any questions or concerns and made the process smooth. I would recommend her highly to my family and friends.”
“Another successful transaction with Darlene (previously a commercial property and purchase of our current home), this was a Cape Cod home that was used by our daughter before she moved. The professionalism and expertise in both setting the price and advice on improving the home was excellent. The staging of the 1948 home made a huge difference in it's marketability. Also impressed with her handling of the sale and sharing a memorable story of how the buyers found and fell in love with the home. Post sale communication was also excellent.”
“Evelyn was the best. She was attentive to our needs and got to know us better before speaking with potential buyers. She was thorough in everything that we asked her to do, including working with vendors on repair projects after the inspection was done. We liked her recommendations on the appearance of our condo before it went on the market. We would definitely recommend her to others that are selling a condo in our neighborhood.”
“it was a pleasure to work with Edward Springer to sell our property. He kept us in the loop and made the selling process easy to do. Definately recomend him.”

From the very beginning, she was so caring, patient, and supportive throughout both the sale of my home and the purchase of my new home. She was always available to answer my questions, no matter how many I had, and she made a stressful process so much easier for me. I truly appreciate all the time, effort, and care she put into helping me. She is professional, knowledgeable, trustworthy, and genuinely cares about her clients.
