Martinsburg Homes For Sale
Affordable - Accessible - Growing
Martinsburg is the county seat of Berkeley County and offers a variety of life style choices. It is a great place to live. Head west of downtown Martinsburg, and you’re just a few miles from wilderness and the 20,000+ acre wildlife preserve in Hedgesville. Head northeast and you’re in the DC metro area. Head southeast, and you’re about an hour from Dulles airport and Northern Virginia. Although a short drive, homes prices in the Martinsburg area are at least half of what you see in MD – as are property taxes. Plus, the MARC train leaves from the historic Martinsburg Caperton Train Station to the DC area everyday – leaves Martinsburg in the morning and returns in the early evening. No wonder people are exiting those high cost areas and heading to the Martinsburg and surrounding areas. Lower housing costs and a slower pace. We think you’ll love it!

Property taxes, home prices
West Virginia has one of the lowest property tax rates in the country. It ranks 49th from highest to lowest. It’s about half of what you see in MD and a quarter of New Jersey. Lenders know this and approve buyers for a higher price point because the property taxes are so low. So you get more home for the money here and pay lower taxes on that home. So why not drive a little further and save money! The actual tax rate depends on the county. Berkeley has about a .68% and Jefferson and Morgan about a .61% (multiply that by the home value and get an estimate of what you can expect to pay and be amazed at the difference if you’re from some of those higher property tax states. Plus homes are affordable here. The median price is around $230,000 — that’s probably half of what you find in the DC metro area.
