Hanover County, VA Real Estate Market Update

November 2022 vs November 2025

The Hanover County housing market continues to adjust from the fast paced conditions of 2022 into a more balanced and strategic market in 2025.  By comparing November data over the past four years, we can see how inventory, pricing and buyer behavior have evolved – and what it means for buyers and sellers today.

🏠︎  New Listings:  Still Limited Supply

New listings remain lower than 2022 levels, even with some year to year fluctuation.

  • 2022:  92 new listings in November
  • 2023:  75 new listings in November
  • 2024:  101 new listings in November
  • 2025:  81 new listings in November

✔️  Fewer new listings mean sellers continue to benefit from limited competition.

✍🏻  Pendings:  Buyer Activity Remains Steady

Despite changing market conditions, homes are still going under contract at healthy levels.

  • 2022:  85 homes under contract in November
  • 2023:  64 homes under contract in November
  • 2024:  107 homes under contract in November
  • 2025:  94 homes under contract in November

📊  Buyer demand in 2025 is stronger than in both 2022 and 2023.

💰  Sales Price vs List Price:  Near Asking Is The Norm

Homes in Hanover County continue to sell very close to the asking price.

  • 2022:  Sellers got 100.1% of their asking price on average
  • 2023:  Sellers got 100.3% of their asking price on average
  • 2024:  Sellers got 101.1% of their asking price on average
  • 2025:  Sellers got 100.1% of their asking price on average

✨  Pricing remains strong, even as the market balances.

👀  Showings Per Listing:  More Selective Buyers

☑️  Homes Closed:  Consistent Activity

Closed sales reflect a stable but less frantic market.

  • 2022:  117 homes closed in November
  • 2023:  98 homes closed in November
  • 2024:  120 homes closed in November
