Key Takeaways: June 2026 Virginia Home Sales Report
July 22, 2026
Key Takeaways
- The June housing market was busy around the Commonwealth. There were 11,598 closed sales statewide, which is 823 more than last June, a 7.6% influx. Halfway through the year, the year-to-date 2026 market is outpacing the 2025 market by 5.5%.
- The median sales price in Virginia in June was $460,000, up about $14,000 from last June (+3.1%). Home prices continue to climb in most parts of the state.
- Sold dollar volume surged this month in the state’s housing market. There was approximately $6.8 billion of sold volume statewide, an influx of nearly $1 billion of volume compared to a year ago (+16.8%). Higher prices and more sales fueled the volume growth this month.
- More sellers are entering the market in Virginia. There were 26,758 active listings across the state at the end of June, nearly 2,500 more than a year ago, a 10.2% increase.
Outlook
Virginia’s housing market had its busiest spring market in four years, even as mortgage rates climbed in early spring and held firm in the mid-6% range in late spring. Will these trends hold into the second half of the year? Here are some key factors to monitor:
- The housing market has shown resiliency so far in 2026. Much of this is due to more listings coming onto the market which has met some of the pent-up demand. Overall supply continues to be tight at just 3 months statewide, so with these conditions, if more listings continue to hit the market, it will likely support more sales in the coming months.
- Mortgage rates are lower than a year ago, but not by much. It continues to be a rate-sensitive market. If rates drift higher it could slow the market, but if rates remain stable or dip, it could fuel more activity in the market.
