The transfers usually involve existing housing, Day noted. Unlike Fauquier where new houses are being clustered along Route 29 in subdivisions between Warrenton and New Baltimore, Rappahannock has no housing developments. Day explains that the considerable amount of building currently taking place is primarily being done by people who bought land earlier and are now constructing homes for themselves.
In other counties, developers design houses or townhouse complexes intending to sell them. Day says she really prefers the “musical farms” situation in Rappahannock. She would rather help negotiate the transfer of existing homes and farms in the county than to see a developer come into Rappahannock and transform the farms into housing complexes.
Day says she’s noticed a recent increased demand for homes in the village. Formerly newcomers all wanted to be “out in the country” she remembers. But “there’s more interest in small town village living now,” she says. The villages have universal appeal. They are attractive to parents raising small children as well as retirement couples, she says.
