Woodbridge’s current Zillow ZHVI typical city home value is $507,906, up 0.2% year over year, while Zillow ZORI typical observed market rent is $2,195 per month, down 0.4%. Those measures imply a 5.2% gross yield before vacancy, management, maintenance, insurance, taxes, financing and capital work. The ZHVI equals 4.8x ACS median household income, and annual ZORI equals 25.1% of that income. This is a compact citywide screen, not a property cash-flow result.
The city has 15,119 housing units; renters occupy 45.6% of occupied units, and the citywide vacancy rate is 5.3%. The median year built is 1986, making property-specific condition review important. ACS surveyed occupied housing reports a $422,400 median home value and $2,101 median gross rent, including selected utilities. ACS and Zillow cover different concepts and periods; do not average them or treat them as matching transaction and lease evidence.
City demand and stock context is mixed. Rent burden affects 47.1% of measured renter households. The housing mix is 56.6% single-family and 15.8% in large multifamily structures. Among vacant units, 45.3% are listed for rent, but this survey context does not count investable listings or prove lease-up speed. Population changed from 4,373 to 43,945, a 904.9% increase between overlapping ACS five-year vintages; it is not annualized and may reflect boundary changes. City median household income is $104,741, while poverty is 9.0% and unemployment is 6.5%; these are descriptive demand constraints, not causal or property-level evidence.
In county context for Prince William County, the property-tax rate is 0.943%; parcel bills, assessments and exemptions still require verification. County listings in Prince William County include price reductions, which can flag seller flexibility but cannot establish city pricing. The national Freddie Mac 30-year mortgage rate is 6.58%, which frames financing conditions but is not a Woodbridge borrower quote. County and national context should inform assumptions without being blended into city denominators.
All figures are aggregated: city data do not reveal an asset’s achievable rent, condition, expenses, legal status or tenant profile, while county and national context do not measure Woodbridge. Before underwriting, verify asking price, comparable sales and signed leases; unit rent and concessions; taxes, insurance, utilities and dues; inspection findings and capital needs; zoning, permits and rental rules; vacancy and collection history; management costs; and loan terms. Recalculate net operating income, debt coverage and cash needs under explicit downside assumptions, not gross yield alone.
