Driving Factors For West Virginia Real Estate Market

Buyers Flock To Parkersburg

Parkersburg has a median home value that is nearly 15% less than the state average and is prime to attract younger buyers looking for more affordable housing, or even their first home.

Low Inventory

Similar to the rest of the United States, West Virginia is struggling with low housing inventory. Even before the pandemic, the state’s major cities had relatively few listings, so it’s been even worse since the start of COVID, and even since the Pandemic ended.

Moving To The Suburbs

The pandemic and its after effects has shifted the workplace to the home so it wouldn’t be surprising to see residents flee to the suburbs for more purchase power and flexible floor plans.

EquityMax Insight

West Virginia has shown itself as a profitable market for real estate investors looking to flip, wholesale, or rent since the Great Recession. With the state trending in line with the rest of the country in terms of home appreciation, finding attractive profit margins has been harder to come by, however we encourage investors to network with fellow investors and even local REIAs for new opportunities. Additionally, building a rental portfolio in West Virginia has shown to be very profitable for investors navigating the post pandemic effects of low inventory and high demand.

Given that EquityMax does not fund the rehab, we do not look at that component during underwriting.  This leads to a more streamlined approval process and quicker closing timelines.
