The Greater Augusta Association of Realtors just released the Q2 2025 housing market stats — and while the numbers are the same ones every Realtor in our area has, my job is to interpret them so you can make smart decisions whether you’re buying, selling, or just curious about your home’s value.
Inventory Rising
Buyers now have more homes to choose from than this time last year:
- Augusta County listings up 18% (165 homes)
- Staunton up 2% (65 homes)
- Waynesboro up 28% (88 homes)
How Fast Are Homes Selling? If I got a dime for every time I am asked this question…
Days on market tell us how quickly homes are going under contract. Staunton is moving fast — down to just 6 days on average — while Waynesboro has slowed slightly to 11 days. If the price is right-don’t blink or you will miss out.
Price Movements
Prices moved in different directions: Staunton saw a 4% dip in median sales price, creating potential opportunity for buyers. Waynesboro prices rose 5%, great news for sellers. Augusta County prices held steady with a slight 1% bump.
Sales Volume Surge
The big winner in total sold dollar volume is Augusta County, jumping 65% over last year.
Why Does this Matter?
Market trends don’t wait. Whether you’re thinking about listing this fall or buying before rates shift, now’s the time to align your plans with the numbers. Let’s talk about your next move. I don’t have a crystal ball. I cannot tell you exactly what will happen next month, next quarter or even next year. What I can tell you is that numbers matter whether you are listing a property to sell OR looking to buy a home in Staunton, Waynesboro or Augusta County. When you match goals to data closing happen!
