Information and statistics on the latest trends in the Jefferson 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).
Jefferson County currently leans toward sellers, with the market gauge at 41, but conditions are not overwhelmingly in their favor. Months of supply sits at 3.2, slightly tighter than the 3.8 months seen across West Virginia overall, signaling less inventory relative to demand locally than in the state as a whole.
Home values show modest upward pressure over the past year, with the typical home value up about 5 percent year over year to roughly $404,000. At the same time, median list prices have slipped slightly from last year and active listings are down more than 14 percent year over year, suggesting fewer options for buyers even as prices edge higher.
Sales activity has cooled, as homes sold are down about 16 percent and pending sales are off more than 17 percent compared with a year ago. Even with that slowdown, sellers still see support, with about 20 percent of homes closing above list price and the average sale-to-list ratio near 99 percent. Buyers and sellers who want to navigate these mixed signals can turn to Agent Pronto to connect with an experienced local agent who understands this shifting landscape.

“Matthew went above and beyond to make sure that our home sale went smoothly. He made sure everything was taken care of, and that we always knew what was going on. His knowledge of the area and clear communication made the selling process a breeze. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.”
“Knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and passionate are great words to describe Katerina. She made sure my husband and I were as knowledgeable as she is about buying a home. If we did not know the terminology or how a particular detail worked, Katerina made sure to explain it in different ways until we understood. We asked for her opinion on the outer and inner parts of each house we viewed and she answered honestly and provided useful advice. Katerina gave us adequate time to think about our decision and even provided additional resources we could dive into to see what would fit best for our situation. Overall, Katerina has been a great realtor, and it has been a pleasure working with her!”
“Ray Roswell provided exceptional service throughout the process. His assistance in locating a new home, combined with his expertise in the sale of manufactured homes, was invaluable. I confidently recommend him to anyone considering buying or selling a home.”
“Arica was personable and professional She was reassuring , knowledgeable and kind when needed with a great sense of humor Overall a positive experience and would highly recommend her”
“Brett was great to work with from start to finish. We bought from out of state and were moving from Washington for most of the process, so a lot of it happened over email and text. He turned everything around quickly, and when something needed a conversation, he was always available by phone. We didn't meet him in person until right before closing, and it never felt like that slowed anything down. He handled the negotiation well and kept us informed at every step, including updates we might not have gotten otherwise. When our plans changed, he adjusted without any hassle and made sure the details were taken care of so we could focus on the move. He was also patient with our questions and never made us feel rushed. His help didn't stop at closing. He has followed up since we moved in and passed along local recommendations, which means a lot when you're new to the area. We'd recommend Brett to anyone buying in the Des Moines area, especially if you're relocating from out of state.”
“Shelly was an amazing realtor on the file that I had with her. She respond to all communications within a very timely manner. We were able to close our customer in just about 3 weeks. Thank you Shell! I look forward to many more transactions.”
“Wyatt went above and beyond. He kept me updated on the progress. He was always quick to respond to texts, emails, & voicemails. The video was fantastic! Likely the best marketing for selling my place so quickly. He was spot on on the asking amount. He was very confident and quickly quieted my concerns. Everything went according to Wyatt's expectations and timeline. You can't go wrong with Wyatt!”

“Dania and her team were exceptionally professional. They did a tremendous amount of research on comps prior to listing. They have a great number of contacts with buyers in our price range, which was high. They were very careful in staging the home and were always present at showings. Her team created great presentation materials for advertising the home. She is a great communicator and an even better negotiator/strategist. If you want to sell a home, particularly in the higher price range, she is the absolute best.”

Her insight and understanding of the homes in Regina were extremely beneficial. My family and myself are greatly appreciative of all her help in our move to a new city.”
“Pleasure working with her”
“I recently worked with Larry Gordon to sell my home, and the entire experience exceeded my expectations. From our very first conversation, Larry took the time to understand my goals and put together a smart, realistic strategy to get my home sold quickly and for a great price. What impressed me most, was how well Larry communicated throughout the process. He kept me updated at every step, answered my questions promptly, and made sure I always knew what was happening — whether it was scheduling showings, reviewing offers, or handling the paperwork. His market knowledge and attention to detail gave me real confidence that I was in good hands. Thanks to his marketing approach and negotiation skills, my home sold in just 30 days. Larry made what can be a stressful process feel smooth and manageable from start to finish. If you're looking for a knowledgeable, dedicated, and genuinely caring real estate agent, Larry Gordon is the Realitor you want to have on your team.”
