More About the Manassas Real Estate Market

The real estate market in Manassas started climbing back in 2009 but its growth curve hasn’t been as sharp as other parts of Virginia. There is still a huge inventory of both single-family homes and condos for sale, resulting in a continued buyers’ market.

This charming city played an important role in the Civil War due to the junction of two strategic railroad lines—control of which were sought by both the Union and Confederate forces. This resulted in the Battles of the First and Second Manassas (Bull Run). The city was rebuilt and officially founded after the end of the war and since 1892, has been the county seat.

You’ll find a lot of everything in the local real estate market. There are plenty of historically significant homes for sale, especially in the Old Town section which centers on Main Street.

In-between is a wealth of possibilities, including some detached single-family homes for sale in the $200,000 range. These bargains won’t last forever, but for now, Manassas presents a very intriguing real estate marketplace.
