First, all markets go up and down, including real estate. We’ve just seen a dramatic downturn; it’s inevitable that prices will rise again. In fact, they are already starting to. This is supported by a number of national house price readings recently. But, even if prices don’t rise nationally, they still likely will in the Washington D.C. area simply because the massive federal government spending occuring there now. The DC area may be the hottest jobs market in the country with businesses flocking to be closer to where the action (and money) is in today’s economy. Of course, Prince William County is in Northern Virgina and a suburb of Washington D.C.

Second, Prince William County is a great place to live. It has nice housing, schools, shopping, entertainment and recreation. It’s a great place to raise a family. So, people moving to the DC area for jobs will certainly look at the Prince William County housing market.
