Suffolk, VA Housing Market 2026: What Homes Actually Sell For

If you invest in or around Suffolk, the number that matters is what homes actually close for, not what sellers are asking. Here is what Suffolk sale prices look like right now, built from the closings Resideline tracked over the last six months, as of September 2026.

The snapshot

  • Closings tracked, last 6 months: 769
  • Median sold price, last 6 months: $380,000
  • Median sold $/sqft, last 6 months: $203
  • Middle half of sales closed between: $299,000 and $489,900

What the numbers say

Resideline tracked 769 closed sales in Suffolk over the last six 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. The middle half of those sales closed between $299,000 and $489,900. That spread matters more than the headline median: where a specific property sits inside it decides whether the citywide number helps you or misleads you. These are the closings Resideline tracks and may differ from complete county or municipal records. 87% of the Suffolk closings we track here are single-family houses, so these figures primarily reflect that segment, and the citywide $/sqft figure primarily reflects that segment as well. Across the 766 closings with usable living area, the middle half sold between $179 and $228 per square foot.

Medians hide the shape of a market. The distribution above covers the closed sales Resideline tracked in Suffolk over the last six months that carry a usable sale date, trimmed to the 5th through 95th percentile, with the middle half of sales closing between $299,000 and $489,900. Among the 57 Virginia markets with a published band, Suffolk's middle-half spread ($299,000 to $489,900) ranks 28th from the narrowest. Where your target property sits inside that spread matters more than the citywide median. Measured as the ratio of the upper to the lower quartile, its middle-half spread ranks in the 45th percentile of the 2,187 US markets in Resideline's national Market Watch set, on data as of September 4, 2026.

How long a sale takes here

  • Listed to under contract: a median of 19 days, across 247 Suffolk closings Resideline tracked in the last six months
  • Contract to closing: a median of 23 days, across 330 Suffolk closings Resideline tracked in the last six months
Both are measured from the closings themselves, not from listing inventory. Each sale is timed using its own listing and contract dates. That is why these counts are smaller than the 769 closings above: a sale is counted here only when we hold both of its dates.

The Suffolk angle

Across 769 closings Resideline tracked in Suffolk over the last six months, the median closed sale price was $380,000, and the middle half of sales closed between $299,000 and $489,900. The band is close to typical for the markets we track and tilted so that more of it sits above the median than below, which means the same comp error costs more when it pushes upward.

From market read to offer price

A market read is the backdrop. 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 Suffolk 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.

Every local market figure on this page is computed from closed sales Resideline tracked in Suffolk over the last six months, and is refreshed when the data is. The closings we track within the Suffolk 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 11% of the 769 closings in this window never appeared on a listing service, and the median of MLS-listed sales alone was $390,000.

How many homes sold in Suffolk last month?

Should a Suffolk offer be anchored on the median?

Anchor on the comps and reference the median. $380,000 shows where the middle of the market sits, but one in four tracked closings landed above $489,900 and another one in four below $299,000, so both ends of the range are ordinary outcomes rather than anomalies. The comps decide which end your subject belongs nearer to.
