Paper Rich in Fairfax County, VA

10,899properties match every layer today · refreshed weekly

Long held, worth twice what was paid, owner lives elsewhere. A lot of paper equity and no one living there: the cost of holding is easier to see than the gain. Equity is a rough comparison of county value to the last sale, not an appraisal and not a mortgage balance.

The recipe

Every layer has to be true

  1. Owned for 15 years or more
  2. County value is at least 2x the last sale price
  3. The owner's mailing address is not the property

A property is counted only when all 3 are true at once.
