Virginia, MN Housing Market Trends

With a population of 8,332, 3,960 total housing units (homes and apartments), and a median house value of $159,183, house prices in Virginia are some of the most affordable in Minnesota as well as the nation.

Single-family detached homes are the single most common housing type in Virginia, accounting for 63.62% of the city's housing units. Other types of housing that are prevalent in Virginia include large apartment complexes or high rise apartments ( 17.46%), duplexes, homes converted to apartments or other small apartment buildings ( 16.31%), and a few mobile homes or trailers ( 1.72%).

People in Virginia primarily live in small (one, two or no bedroom) single-family detached homes. Virginia has a mixture of owner-occupied and renter-occupied housing.

The housing in Virginia was primarily built before 1939 ( 39.93%), making the housing stock in Virginia some of the oldest overall in America, although there is a range of ages of homes in Virginia. The next most important housing age is between 1940-1969 ( 31.15%), followed by between 1970-1999 ( 22.60%). There's also some housing in Virginia built between 2000 and later ( 6.31%).

Vacant housing appears to be an issue in Virginia. Fully 17.81% of the housing stock is classified as vacant. Left unchecked, vacant Virginia homes and apartments can be a drag on the real estate market, holding Virginia real estate prices below levels they could achieve if vacant housing was absorbed into the market and became occupied. Housing vacancy rates are a useful measure to consider, along with other things, if you are a home buyer or a real estate investor.
