Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Jefferson County real estate market, updated for May 2026. *
Jefferson County is currently tilted toward sellers, with the market gauge at 21 on the seller’s side. Tight conditions come from just 3.2 months of supply and 298 homes on the market, even as typical home values sit around $400,000, well above the West Virginia average of $252,700.
Prices have inched up, with typical home value rising 1.27% over the past year and 5.01% in just one month, while the median list price of $422,695 has edged down about 2.83% month over month. Longer marketing times, now at a median of 85 days and up 70% from last year, show that buyers are gaining a bit more room to shop and negotiate despite the seller-leaning gauge.
On the activity side, 202 new listings in March marked nearly a 20.96% jump from a year ago, and pending sales are up 6.92%, signaling steady demand. About 23.83% of listings saw a price drop and roughly 23.66% of homes sold above list, while the average sale-to-list ratio sits close to full price at 0.99, reflecting a market where realistic pricing matters. With typical values projected to reach about $409,547 and inventory expected to tick up to 302 homes in April, both buyers and sellers can benefit from Agent Pronto’s help in finding an agent who understands these shifting dynamics.
Market gauge is calculated based on the the number of active listings divided by home sales over the most recently available reporting period.

She was very communicative and was clearly going into the experience with a game plan and an appropriate strategy to confront the challenges we faced with our home. Our situation was very tricky and unusual, but she assured me that with her help the process would be smooth and painless. She was true to her word and made sure that I was informed and updated on every part of the process which relieved a lot of my stress with the situation.

“If you are a first time home buyer, like we were, then this is the man you want! Cody was ready and available to show us house at times that worked around our schedule, gave an honest review of the houses when we were in them! He checks in through out the weeks, sends recommendations on different homes and takes the time to understand what you are looking for in a home! He truly feels like he doesn't want to sell the house, but wants to find you a home that feels perfect. When it comes to negotiations and closing, everything was clear and understandable, which for your first time, took all of the stress out of the experience. If you want to make your home buying experience has easy and enjoyable as it is supposed to be, then you want Cody Hamilton!”

“Zulay is very attentive and detail oriented. She was always one step ahead of everything. I’ve heard the stories of buying a house and how stressful the process is, but I can honestly say this process was a breeze. There were obstacles and hurdles along the way to purchase our home but she was always one step ahead and made it so stress free. For something that is potentially the biggest purchase of someone’s lifetime, to have Zulay walk us through every step detail by detail and completely shield us from any stress or issue was amazing, she made it so simple and easy it made the buying process enjoyable and memorable for us. I would never hesitate to recommend her to anyone or use her again in the future. I’ve dealt with realtors in the past that have been extremely pushy and over bearing and just didn’t make me feel like they had my best interest in mind, just wanted to close and cash commission. Working with Zulay was a breath of fresh air, nothing felt forced or pushed.”
“she was A1 in everything, i would recomend her yo anyone... she did an awsome job...”
