Is New Kent in a Buyer’s Market or a Seller’s Market? Here’s What the Data Really Says.

One of the questions we hear most often is, “Is New Kent a buyer’s market or a seller’s market right now?”
The honest answer is… it depends.
It depends on where in New Kent you’re looking, what price point you’re in, and what your goals are.

As of December 5, 2025, the overall New Kent market is sitting in a balanced position that is gradually shifting toward buyer-friendly conditions. As inventory increases and buyer demand levels out, we typically see stronger activity heading into the spring — often followed by more competition as both buyers and sellers make their moves.

But when we break it down community by community, the story gets even more interesting.

Patriots Landing: A Strong Seller’s Market

Patriots Landing continues to perform as one of the strongest seller’s markets in the area.
Inventory remains low, demand is steady, and well-priced homes continue to move quickly.

For homeowners here, this means you still hold a meaningful advantage. For buyers, preparation and timing matter more than ever.

Viniterra: A Clear Buyer’s Market

On the opposite end of the spectrum, Viniterra has transitioned into a clear buyer’s market.
Higher inventory levels mean buyers have more choices, more negotiating room, and more time to make thoughtful decisions.

For sellers in Viniterra, strategy becomes crucial: pricing, presentation, and timing directly influence results.

Brickshire, Providence Forge, Lanexa, Quinton, and Greater New Kent: Balanced but Shifting

Many other New Kent communities fall into a balanced-to-buyer-leaning market, where we’re seeing:

• Homes sitting slightly longer

• Increased negotiation between parties

• Opportunities emerging for patient buyers

• A growing need for accurate, strategic pricing for sellers

For both buyers and sellers, these conditions make it especially important to enter the market with a clear plan.

What This Means for Homeowners

If you’ve been considering selling, understanding your neighborhood’s exact market position is essential.
Even small shifts in months of supply can influence your pricing strategy and timing.

We’re happy to provide a no-pressure, data-backed valuation and explain what today’s conditions mean for your home specifically.

What This Means for Buyers

If you’re planning a move this spring, now is the time to prepare.
Buyer-leaning conditions don’t last forever, and competition traditionally increases as the weather improves.

Being pre-approved, informed, and strategically positioned gives you a major advantage when the right home hits the market.
