A Good Season for Condo Buyers
Condo buyers have the most choice this fall. NVAR reported condo and townhouse listings in its Northern Virginia region up 49.7% from a year earlier in September 2026, compared with 5.7% for detached homes. Arlington County had about 3.9 months of supply in September 2026, up from 3.0 a year earlier, according to Bright MLS.
More choice can mean more room to negotiate on price, repairs or closing costs. Arlington prices overall have not fallen, though: Bright MLS reported the county's median sale price for July through September 2026 up 11.1% from a year earlier.
Before every offer, we prepare a home value report from recent sales in the same building and similar buildings nearby, so you know what the home is worth before you decide what to pay.
What to Check Before You Buy a Condo Here
In Virginia, you receive the condo association's resale certificate, and you can cancel within the time the law allows after you get it. Read it closely: the monthly fee and what it covers, the reserve fund, the budget, any special assessments or lawsuits, and the rules on pets, rentals and renovations.
Check the parking and storage that come with the unit, and how the building handles move-ins. For a townhouse or house, the inspection covers the roof, the systems and the structure. We can arrange the inspection, or you can schedule it yourself, and we go over the report with you. If a home is not right for you, we will say so, even if that means walking away.
