City Spotlight: Haymarket, Gainesville & Woodbridge
County-wide averages only tell part of the story. Here's how three of Prince William County's most-searched cities compare right now:
Haymarket Market Report 55 active
Haymarket carries the highest average price and cost per square foot of the three spotlighted cities. Sold homes averaged $1,063,065 against a $1,069,786 average list price — a sale-to-list ratio of about 99.4%, and homes there are closing in just 18 days on average once listed.
Gainesville Market Report 45 active
Gainesville continues to show the strongest seller's-market signal of the three: homes sold in the past 6 months averaged $894,146 against an $888,757 average list price — a sale-to-list ratio of roughly 100.6%, meaning Gainesville homes are, on average, still selling for slightly more than asking. This matches the pattern seen in the prior report for this county.
Woodbridge Market Report 159 active
Woodbridge has by far the deepest inventory and sales volume of the three (159 active, 527 sold in 6 months) and the most accessible average price. Its sold-price average ($627,048 vs. $625,280 listed, ~100.3%) fits the countywide pattern of homes closing at or above ask. Data flag: Woodbridge's under-contract average ($732,666, cost/sqft $438) remains skewed by the same outlier listings flagged in our last report — including one at $6.5M for just 1,048 sq ft, still active 217 days later — and shouldn't be read as representative of a typical Woodbridge pending sale.
