Home Values In These 9 VA Counties, Cities Among Highest In Nation

VIRGINIA — Virginia's most expensive counties to buy a house are continuing to increase in price, some by more than 6 percent since last fall.

Patch took a look at Zillow data for more than 3,000 U.S. counties, to see which places around the nation have the highest typical home values. There are nine Virginia counties and cities among the top 5 percent of the priciest counties, the data shows.

We also compared how typical home prices in these counties changed from October 2023 to October 2024.

The most recent Zillow Home Value Index data is through the month of September, so it is current as of Oct. 1. The "typical home value" represents the values of all properties in the middle third of the market, not just the sale prices.

In October, three U.S. counties had typical home prices over $2 million: Nantucket County, Mass.; Pitkin County, Colo.; and Teton County, Wyo.
