Outlook on Market Growth
The future is bright for the Lake Anna real estate market! In 2025, we expect our market to enjoy growth across key metrics, including the number of homes that will sell, the prices of those homes, the speed of the market, and interest rates on home loans. Whether you’re looking to buy, sell, or hold your property at Lake Anna, there is good news in store for all.
The Lake Anna real estate market expanded in 2024 (it did not slow, as some have suggested). In 2024, 220 homes sold at Lake Anna, marking a 13% increase from 2023, when only 195 homes sold. In 2024, the average sales price was $813,167, and it took sellers 34 days (median) to find a buyer in 2024.
In 2023, the average home sales price at Lake Anna was $835,030, and it took sellers 27 days (median) to find a buyer in 2023. The slightly higher sales price average in 2023 was primarily due to the lower supply of homes available to purchase, which drove up buyer demand and, consequently, home sales prices. As the number of homes for sale climbed in 2024, sales prices eased slightly (2.6%).
Price Pressure to Go Upwards in 2025
We expect the number of home sales at Lake Anna in 2025 to increase by 5%-10%, landing around 230-245 home sales, primarily due to the anticipated reduction in borrowing rates for home loans; experts expect rates to fall to the low or mid-6%s. Lower interest rates will cause more buyers to enter the market, thereby increasing the number of home sales.
We expect home sales prices to increase by 7%-10%. As falling interest rates invite more buyers into the Lake Anna real estate market, this increased competition amongst buyers will create upward pressure on home sales prices at Lake Anna in 2025.
Thinking about selling? Now is the time. While the number of homes for sale has been increasing, Lake Anna’s housing inventory is still below pre-COVID levels; this lower supply of homes for sale is likely to create upward pressure on home sale prices for sellers.
Thinking about buying? Sooner is better than later. As interest rates drop, more buyers will flood the market, which will increase demand and prices. The hot ticket for buyers, therefore, is to make your purchase before interest rates drop further and prices spike. While it may seem counterintuitive to buy at a higher interest rate, in the end you will save money by purchasing your home now – before home prices spike – and then later refinance your home loan into a lower interest rate. Buyers will also have more homes to choose from this year than in the past 4 years.
We expect the value of Lake Anna real estate to continue climbing, likely faster than national appreciation rates.
The supply of Lake Anna real estate is inherently limited because the lake isn’t getting any bigger. When this reality is coupled with (1) the strong buyer demand always coming from Washington DC / NOVA, and (2) the popularity of our short-term rental market amongst investors, Lake Anna property values are likely to continue to skyrocket. That said, if you don’t already have a seat on the Lake Anna real estate rocket ship, I’d buy your ticket soon, because Lake Anna property values are poised to go atmospheric.

Hi! I’m Jennifer Bailey and I partner with entrepreneurs who have massive ideas that could change the world. Most marketing is meaningless. Filled with empty promises, its only job is to bring in new traffic, new leads, and new customers. But I’ve drawn a line in the sand, and I’ve learned that marketing can do so much more than reach business goals and build profit. My methods give businesses the fire and soul they need to reach the right people, set the groundwork for sustainable relationships, and offer true value to the people on both the giving and receiving ends of marketing.
