About Nelson County

Filings here arrive matched to the owner and the property the same day they're filed.

What makes the Nelson County market different
- 28% of housing units in Nelson County stand vacant, against 10% nationally. An empty house still carries taxes, insurance and upkeep, and owners who inherited one or moved away are often ready to talk about selling.
- Nelson County has an older housing stock: 27% of homes were built before 1940, against 12% nationally. Older homes more often need repairs, a common reason an heir or a stretched owner sells as-is.
- 66% of owner-occupied homes in Nelson County have no mortgage at all, against 39% nationally. An owner with no loan has more equity, which leaves room for a price that works for both sides.
- HUD sets the fair market rent for a 3-bedroom home for the Nelson County, ND area at $1,404 a month, against a median home value of $114K in Nelson County. Set those two side by side to judge whether a buy-and-hold rental pencils out before you make an offer.
- Permits were issued for 4 new housing units in Nelson County in 2025, up 33% from 2024. Rising construction is a sign of demand for housing here.
