A total of 9,758 homes were sold in Virginia during April, an uptick of 424 transactions (a 4.5% increase) from one year earlier.

According to data from the Virginia Association of Realtors (VAR), year-to-date closed sales are up 5.8% while sold dollar volume is at $5.5 billion, an 8.9% jump from April 2025. There were 10,579 pending sales in April, a 6.2% increase from the prior year, and year-to-date pending sales are up 7.8% over the same period.

There were 17,111 new listings in April, a 10% increase from last year, and 23,867 active listings statewide, which is roughly 1,800 more listings than one year ago. VAR noted this was one of the strongest months of inventory growth since before the pandemic-era supply shortages. The statewide median days on market was 10 days.

The statewide median sales price in April was $439,945, an increase of roughly $15,000 or 3.5% from one year ago. More than half of local markets (59%) across the state enjoyed year-over-year price growth.

“April’s numbers reinforce just how resilient Virginia’s spring market has been,” said VAR’s Chief Economist Ryan Price. “More sellers and more buyers are stepping into the market this year, even as mortgage rates have climbed since late February. Closed sales, pending sales, and new listings are all outpacing last year, home prices continue to rise, and homes are still selling quickly—signs that demand remains strong across much of the Commonwealth.”
