I think it depends. A house like this below would be nearly a million in Loudoun.

“Home
BRAND NEW & MOVE-IN READY! OFFERED W A 99-YEAR GROUND LEASE WITH INITIAL GROUND RENT OF $1,210 PER MONTH-REQUEST INFO FROM ERIN. OR PURCHASE TRADITIONALLY FOR $880,000.“
Crazy that homes 45 minutes away from Richmond are going that high now. Those prices in those areas are like Loudoun level.
Yep. That house is $880k. And would need to be bought at today’s interest rates. My fully renovated Loudoun home is larger than that and probably worth only $100k more, plus I have a 2.25% mortgage. Moving to Richmond would literally make my expenses go UP.
Also have to consider the cost of living down there and lower taxes.
It’s not cheaper to live down there and the taxes aren’t lower compared to Loudoun.

We have some friends who moved down there and love it. One couple is involved in Democratic politics and the other is a gay couple, and both have found great communities there. Housing down there has gotten more expensive lately but is still ~50% less than comparable properties in northern VA.

But you’re still a “come here”!

Loudoun is so far and wide. In sterling that would be 700k. In ashburn and leesburg that would be nearly a million. Such homes do not exist in western rural farmland loudoun.
They do exist now… lots of homes like that built very recently in Purcellville and Round Hill
A few subdivisions, yes. I have seen some in Hamilton as well. I wouldn’t say very new, some of them have been built since the early 2000s. PP’s point still stands, its still mostly farmland and beautiful pastures and vineyards and breweries, which I love. Two identities enclaved in one county; hard to find such a sight in other places.
