Haymarket is an area along the north-eastern edge of Prince William County, Haymarket itself is a small town of historical interest that is surrounded by new sub-divisions. Originally selected as the location of an East Coast Disney operation, public outcry prevented Disney from breaking ground. Much of the area that was selected for the theme park was sold off to developers and they have opened several sub-divisions mostly made up of single-family homes constructed on one-quarter or one-third acre lots and townhouse communities. Dominion Valley Country Club and Piedmont Country Club are two gated communities located in the area.

The Absorption Rate is a measure of how long it will take, on average, to sell a home in a particular area or neighbourhood.

The Absorption Rate is calculated by taking the number of homes active and dividing that number by the number of homes sold to give a value of the number of weeks of inventory is available. Tracked over time that number provides a guide to market trends. The actual rates will go up and down during the month as most sales go to settlement in the last 10 days of each month.
