New Real Estate Regulations 2026
For the first time since 2019, Virginia’s real estate regulations are getting a major update—and they’ll take effect April 1, 2026.

This page gathers everything you need to get up to speed quickly, from plain‑language explanations to practical resources tailored for Virginia REALTORS®.
