The Lake Anna real estate market is showing steady strength as we head into the spring season. Demand is consistent, inventory remains relatively low, and prices are holding firm.
Here’s what’s happening right now:
- Median Sold Price: $572,000 (up nearly 9% year-over-year)
- Median Price Per Sq Ft: $254
- Buyer Activity: Picking up, especially among Northern Virginia and Maryland buyers shopping for vacation and retirement homes
- Inventory: Slowly increasing, but still well below pre-2020 levels
Waterfront Properties:
Still the most competitive segment. Homes with private docks and big views are in demand. Properties priced under $1.2M with strong water access are seeing the most attention.
Water-Access Homes:
A sweet spot for buyers this spring. Homes with deeded boat slips in neighborhoods like Maple Springs, Windwood Coves, or The Waters are attracting buyers who want lake lifestyle without the price of direct waterfront.
Off-Water Homes:
Appealing to full-time residents or those with lower budgets. Homes under $500K near the lake are selling best when updated and priced fairly.
Spring 2025 Advice for Buyers:
- Be ready to move fast on well-priced waterfront homes
- Explore neighborhoods on both public and private sides of the lake
- Get pre-approved early and work with a local agent who knows the lake rules and community restrictions
Advice for Sellers:
- This is the best season to list—maximize exposure now
- Price right and market strong; overpricing leads to stale listings
- Highlight lake features (dock, slip, water depth) and provide drone photos and video if possible
Looking ahead, we expect steady appreciation through summer. More people are discovering Lake Anna every year, and with new restaurants, and commercial projects underway, demand should remain high.
