Dumfries, VA Housing Market 2026: Median Home Price, Last 12 Months

In a market the size of Dumfries, individual sales move the needle. The figures below rest on 54 tracked closings over the last 12 months, so read them as the direction of the market rather than a precise price for any one street.

The snapshot

  • Closings tracked, last 12 months: 54
  • Median sold price, last 12 months: $380,000 (low-volume sample)
  • Median sold $/sqft, last 12 months: $247

What the numbers say

Resideline tracked 54 closed sales in Dumfries over the last 12 months, with a median closing price of $380,000. That median is the midpoint of what buyers actually paid, not what sellers hoped to get, which is why it moves differently from the asking prices you see on listing sites. These are the closings Resideline tracks and may differ from complete county or municipal records.

Figures last updated September 6, 2026 from closings Resideline tracked.

Median home price in Dumfries, VA (September 2026)

The median home price in Dumfries is $380,000, measured across the 54 closed sales Resideline tracked over the last 12 months.

How long a sale takes here

  • Listed to under contract: a median of 22 days, across 35 Dumfries closings Resideline tracked in the last 12 months
This is measured from the closings themselves, not from listing inventory. Each sale is timed using its own dates. That is why this count is smaller than the 54 closings above: a sale is counted here only when we hold the dates it needs.

The Dumfries angle

A median is a midpoint, and midpoints are honest only when used as orientation. It cannot say what a specific Dumfries property is worth, because it compresses every tracked sale, strong and weak, into one figure. Build the valuation itself from closed sales matched to the property, then let the median arbitrate whether the result is plausible.

From market read to offer price

A thin market punishes generic pricing; the way to firm up a number here is the specific property and its handful of true comps. The decision still comes down to one property and one number: what it is actually worth and what you should pay. Every Resideline report opens with this same market snapshot for the subject's exact ZIP code, then gives you the property's value, the sold comps behind it, and a market rent estimate. Pricing a specific deal? The free ARV calculator and rental property calculator run the numbers in about a minute.

And we show our work. Every estimate is frozen while the home is for sale and graded against the real closing price after it sells. See the live accuracy dashboard for the receipts, or read how the Area Market Snapshot works.

Run any Dumfries address through Resideline and you will see the local market and the property's value together, in one report.

The local market statistics in this report are calculated from closed sales tracked by Resideline. Transaction coverage may differ from complete county or municipal records. This is a low-volume sample: treat the statistics as directional rather than precise estimates of the entire local market.

Every local market figure on this page is computed from closed sales Resideline tracked in Dumfries over the last 12 months, and is refreshed when the data is. The closings we track within the Dumfries city limits are not limited to listing-service sales: they also include foreclosure deeds, estate and family transfers, and other off-market sales that portal medians exclude, which is why 15% of the 54 closings in this window never appeared on a listing service, and the median of MLS-listed sales alone was $382,500. This is a low-volume market: the figures below rest on 54 closings within the Dumfries city limits, so treat the median as indicative rather than precise.
