Horace is one of the fastest-growing small cities in the metro, just south of West Fargo, with mostly newer homes, a small-town Main Street and its own high school in West Fargo Public Schools. Most Horace buyers are also touring new construction.
What Horace buyers look for
- Newer homes and space: buyers come for newer construction, bigger lots and a small-town feel, about 15 to 20 minutes from Fargo.
- Schools: Horace is served by West Fargo Public Schools, including Horace High and Horace Middle School in town.
- Subdivisions: buyers ask most about Lakeview, Lost River and Terra Gardens, along with Cub Creek and Maple Lake Estates.
Pricing your Horace home
A Horace resale is almost always priced against new construction down the street. I build your price from closed Horace sales, then compare it with what a buyer would really pay to build: lot, upgrades, landscaping, window treatments and special assessments. Finished basements, fences, trees and move-in timing give a resale an edge.
Across the Fargo area in September 2026, the median home sold in 29 days, and homes sold for 99.2% of their final list price but only 98.1% of their original price. Pricing right from the start is how you avoid price cuts. See my Fargo housing market update.
What it costs to sell in Horace
Horace is in North Dakota, which has no real estate transfer tax. Sellers usually pay agent commission, title and closing fees, their share of prorated property taxes, and any repairs or credits agreed to with the buyer. Remaining special assessments are usually paid off or credited at closing, depending on the contract. Read what it costs to sell a house in Fargo-Moorhead.
