Wells County at a glance

What makes the Wells County market different

  • 20% of housing units in Wells 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.
  • 69% of owner-occupied homes in Wells 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.
  • Wells County has an older housing stock: 21% 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.
  • HUD sets the fair market rent for a 3-bedroom home for the Wells County, ND area at $1,384 a month, against a median home value of $106K in Wells County. Set those two side by side to judge whether a buy-and-hold rental pencils out before you make an offer.
