The five highest-priced home sales reported in the Virginia Peninsula market for the week ending November 1, 2026, came to a combined $2.23 million. Two of the homes are in Williamsburg, in James City County, and two are in Mathews County, one in Port Haywood and one in North. The fifth is in Hayes, in Gloucester County.
All five are single-family homes, and they span more than a century of building. The oldest dates to 1905 and the newest to 2021, and the settings run from a planned community near Williamsburg to pasture and woodland in Mathews County.
