🏡 **Richmond Metro Market Update | August 2026**
How is our local real estate market looking as we head into fall? Here’s a quick snapshot of **Richmond Metro single-family homes**, including Chesterfield, Hanover, Henrico and Richmond City.
For **August 2026**, we saw **871 closed sales**, **1,027 new listings**, and a **median sale price of $450,000**. ([Alicia and Company][1])
But I always like to look beyond just one month. **Year-to-date through August**, compared with the same period in 2025:
🏠 **Closed sales are UP 2.9%**
💰 **Median sale price is UP 3.0% to approximately $447,870**
⏱️ **Homes are selling slightly faster year-to-date** ([Alicia and Company][1])
**My takeaway:** Month-to-month numbers will always fluctuate, but looking at the bigger picture, the Richmond Metro market continues to show steady activity and modest price growth in 2026.
And remember — real estate is **very local**. What’s happening in Mechanicsville can look different from Midlothian, Short Pump or the City of Richmond. If you're curious about what homes are actually selling for in **your neighborhood**, I’d be happy to take a closer look with you.
