Prices: a lower median on a small sample
The September median of $457,500 was 6.4% below August's $489,000 and 17.6% below last September's $555,000 (Bright MLS via FAAR). Last September had only 17 closings, so a few higher-priced sales could have pushed that comparison point up (Bright MLS via FAAR).
The steadier figure is year to date. Through September, the median was $489,900, down 1.0% from $495,000, on 246 closed sales versus 231 (Bright MLS via FAAR). A home near Dahlgren, one off Route 3 toward Fredericksburg and one on acreage near Route 301 all land in the same county median, so your own price depends on the sales closest to you.
Inventory nearly doubled
Active listings reached 135, up 98.5% from 68 a year earlier and up 20.5% from August's 112 (Bright MLS via FAAR). New listings were 46 for the month, and 411 year to date, up 22.3% from 336 (Bright MLS via FAAR).
Months of supply climbed to 5.19, from 4.48 in August (August report) and 2.72 last September (Bright MLS via FAAR). In plain terms, sellers are competing with roughly twice as many listings as a year ago.
Homes are taking longer to sell
Median days on market was 41 in September, up 20 days from August's 21 and 13 days above September 2025 (Bright MLS via FAAR). The year-to-date median is still 18 days, so September stands out as a slower month (Bright MLS via FAAR).
New pending sales fell to 21, down from 26 in August and 32 a year earlier. Showings slipped 11.2% to 357, though year-to-date showings are up 21.1% to 3,679 (Bright MLS via FAAR). Buyers are still looking. They're just taking longer to commit.

What this means if you're buying in King George
- You have room to negotiate. Ask how long a home has been listed. One that has sat may leave room on price, repairs or closing costs.
- Compare across the county. Look along Route 3, Route 206 toward Dahlgren and Route 218, then read my Dahlgren area guide and my Fredericksburg area page for the commute side.
- Get pre-approved first. A strong pre-approval still matters when the right home appears.
