What the numbers say

Resideline tracked 677 closed sales in Williamsburg over the last six months, with a median closing price of $494,000. 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 we track, not a complete county record, so treat the count as a large sample of the market rather than every sale that happened.

Median home price in Williamsburg, VA (August 2026)

The median home price in Williamsburg is $494,000, measured across the 677 closed sales Resideline tracked over the last six months.

The Williamsburg angle

Between Richmond and Hampton Roads, Williamsburg draws an unusual mix of retirees, William and Mary affiliates, and tourism sector workers, and the surrounding James City County subdivisions carry most of the residential volume. Our sample tracked 677 closings over six months, about 113 a month, with a median closing price of $494,000. A median just under half a million in a small historic city reflects the heavy weight of golf and retirement communities in the surrounding area rather than the colonial core itself. That mix is worth understanding before treating the median as representative of any one neighborhood.

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. The public scoreboard currently shows 3.21% median error across 6,276+ graded closings, across 50 states.
