Nokesville Real Estate Market May 2012
On average, sellers netting 98.5 percent of the original list price in Nokesville.
Nokesville, VA, is located in the western end of Prince William County where lots over an acre are the norm. In 1989, the Prince William County Board of Supervisors adopted a Comprehensive Plan that, for the first time, formally established an Urban Growth Boundary that became known as the Rural Crescent. The purpose of the Rural Crescent was to help control the urban sprawl from area’s adjacent like Bristow, Gainesville and Haymarket where zoning was denser. While most development approved in the Nokesville area is for lots 10 acres or greater, there are those smaller lots that had approval prior to 1989.
The average sold price in Nokesville has gone up 37.35 percent month over month and experienced a 5.66 percent decrease year over year. That has to do with the shortage of inventory and the wide range of housing prices. From January 1, 2012 to June 20, 2012, 45 homes have sold and settled. Sold prices ranged from $169,000 to $862,500. In 2011, for the same period there were only 25 homes that sold and prices ranged from $69,825-$885,000.
Unlike more densely populated areas of Prince William County, Nokesville did not experience a large number of foreclosures or short sales. Currently, there are only four homes that are being sold as short sales and one active foreclosure. It is also not an area where you will find many homes for rent. Most renters do not want to have to deal with taking care of the large lots.
