Waynesboro Housing Market Update

Market snapshot
According to recent market data, the median sale price was about $262K in January, a year-over-year increase of roughly 9.6%. The median price per square foot has also climbed, reflecting stronger pricing compared to early 2025. However, homes are taking longer to sell, with average days on market around 80 days, up significantly from last year.
Zillow’s latest figures show a typical home value near $265K, up about 1.9% over the past year. Inventory levels at the end of 2025 hovered under 50 active listings, suggesting a relatively balanced environment rather than an extreme seller’s market.
What’s for sale
Current listings show a wide price spread. Entry-level single-family homes are available in the $115K to $200K range, often smaller properties or homes needing updates. Mid-range options cluster between $250K and $380K, including three- to four-bedroom houses with modernized interiors.
New construction remains active, with several homes priced from the mid-$400Ks to just over $500K. Some builders are advertising limited-time incentives on select inventory through March, signaling continued competition for buyers as spring approaches.
In addition, a sheriff’s sale is scheduled in mid-March for at least one residential property, a reminder that distressed inventory still surfaces periodically in Franklin County.
Outlook
With prices up year over year but marketing times lengthening, Waynesboro appears to be shifting toward a more measured spring market. Buyers may have slightly more negotiating room than in early 2025, while sellers still benefit from higher price levels than a year ago.
