The Together Report: November 2026

Welcome to The Together Report, your friendly guide to what’s happening in our homes, our market, and our community, from your neighbors at CENTURY 21 Together in Downtown Hampton.

A note from Lakisha and Brian

We have exciting news to share: our doors are opening at our new home, 25 S King Street in Downtown Hampton, and we are always ready for business! The paint is dry, the deliveries are arriving, and our signs are going up. We are laying more than new floors here; we are laying a foundation for our clients, our agents, and our community.

November holds a special place in our hearts. Both of our families have generations of military service, and Brian proudly carried that tradition forward in the U.S. Marine Corps. This Veterans Day, we are honored to thank every veteran and military family who has trusted us to help them find their way home.

As Thanksgiving approaches, we are counting our blessings, and you are among them. Thank you for every referral, every kind word, and the trust you place in us. Home, family, community, and legacy are why we do what we do, and we are so grateful to share them with you.

Market snapshot

Here’s the latest from the Peninsula, and there’s good news for buyers and sellers alike. In October, homes took a little longer to sell, giving buyers welcome breathing room, while supply stayed under two months and sellers continued to receive 95% to 98% of their original asking price.

October 2026	Median sale price	Median days on market	Share of asking price received	Months of supply
Hampton, single-family	$314,000	41	97.6%	1.6
Newport News, single-family	$299,950	40	96.6%	1.6
Hampton, townhomes and condos	$228,450	36	98.1%	0.9
Newport News, townhomes and condos	$215,000	48	94.7%	1.7

Compared with September, the median Hampton single-family price rose from $308,000 to $314,000, while Newport News eased from $315,000 to $299,950. Days on market climbed as the market settled into its fall pace, from 24 to 41 for Hampton single-family homes. Hampton’s townhomes and condos are now the tightest segment in the area, with less than one month of supply. A balanced market typically holds about six months, so well-prepared homes continue to shine.

Even better, mortgage rates are moving in the right direction. The 30-year fixed rate averaged 7.18% on November 5, its third straight weekly decline, and the 15-year rate averaged 6.57%, according to Freddie Mac.

What it means for you

Thinking about buying? This is a wonderful time to look, with rates easing and homes staying on the market a bit longer. Late fall tends to be quieter, so you can tour at a relaxed pace, weigh your options, and negotiate with confidence. Imagine settling in just in time to host the holidays. Your first step is a strong pre-approval, and our trusted lending partners are ready to help on our Lenders page.

Thinking about selling? Supply remains under two months, and today’s buyers are serious and ready to move. A home that feels warm, bright, and welcoming truly stands out this season. That’s where our complimentary Seller Concierge comes in, with professional staging, photography, and marketing materials for our listing clients (subject to qualifications and exclusions).

November homeowner tip: ready your home for winter

A little care now keeps your home cozy all season long and protects its value. Here’s a quick checklist to get ready:

Clear gutters and downspouts once the leaves have fallen.
Replace your HVAC filter and schedule a seasonal service visit.
Disconnect garden hoses and cover outdoor faucets before the first hard freeze.
Test smoke and carbon monoxide detectors as the heat comes on.
Seal drafts around doors and windows to keep warmth in and energy costs down.
