Is the housing market slowing down in Staunton, VA?
Yes — sales activity in Staunton, VA is down. 138 homes sold during May 2026, against 190 in the same months a year earlier, a drop of 27%.
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.
The change clears both tests we require before naming a direction: it is more than 3% in relative terms, and it is larger than the ordinary month-to-month variation you would expect on a market that sells 138 homes at a time.
The longer view, all measured over the May window so the season is held constant: 159 homes sold two years ago, 190 last year, 138 now. Activity is meaningfully below where it was two years ago.
What is on the shelf next to what is selling: 291 homes were on the market in Staunton, VA, and 138 sold. At that pace it would take about 2.1 months to clear them all. There are more buyers than homes for sale. Sellers have the edge.
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.
