This page is about how many homes changed hands, not what they cost. The two move separately: prices are set by the homes that did sell, and volume tells you how many people managed to transact at all. A market can hold its prices while activity quietly drains out of it.

Here is the honest problem with Isle of Wight County, VA. It records 47 sales in a window and 52 a year earlier. On counts that small, a difference of a dozen houses reads as a double-digit percentage, and a dozen houses is well within the range that a couple of delayed closings can produce. Plenty of sites will print that percentage for you. We would rather tell you the count is real and the trend is not measurable.

The longer view, all measured over the May window so the season is held constant: 57 homes sold two years ago, 52 last year, 47 now. We report those three counts as published and draw no trend through them, for the reason above.

What is on the shelf next to what is selling: 154 homes were on the market in Isle of Wight County, VA, and 47 sold. At that pace it would take about 3.3 months to clear them all. Buyers and sellers are about evenly matched right now.

Every comparison on this page is to the SAME calendar months a year earlier, never to last month. Home sales roughly double between January and May in most of the country, so a month-over-month reading would tell you about the season and nothing about the market.
