How Virginia Beach has moved.
Virginia Beach sits at a median home value of $427,121 as of the latest Zillow read, up 3.1% year-over-year — still in appreciation mode, which favors flippers willing to compete on speed.
The sale-to-list ratio of 1.000 signals a balanced market — neither bid wars nor fire sales dominate. 32.0% of closings land below list, leaving room to negotiate on the right deal but no broad discount across the board.
Rents are workable but not generous. ZORI of $2,010/mo against a $427k median gives a 5.65% gross yield — average for the metro tier, requiring tight underwriting on any hold.
Median days-on-market is running around 22 days against 1,327.333 active listings — that’s a fast-moving market. Speed is the moat; pre-arranged proof of funds and a tight buyers list are the difference between getting under contract and getting outbid.
MDR’s composite investor score for Virginia Beach is 50/100 based on rent yield, sale-to-list discount, motivated-seller proxies, and DOM. Lower tier this quarter. Watch list, not deploy list — re-evaluate next read.
