Condos, Townhouses and Houses Each Have Their Own Comparables
Columbia Heights has condos, townhouses and single-family houses. A website estimate can blend them, but buyers do not. We compare your home only with sales of the same type nearby.
For a condo, we look at the building, the floor, the view, parking, storage, the monthly fee and what it covers. For a townhouse or house, we look at the size, the updates, the condition and the yard. Then we adjust for what makes yours different.
You also decide how much to do first. We show you two prices side by side, one if the home is prepared and one if it is sold as it is. Either way, we list it and handle the sale for you.
Your Assessment and Your Sale Price Are Not the Same
Arlington County mails assessment notices each January. The county says it assesses property at 100% of fair market value as of January 1, and its 2026 residential assessments used sales from September 1, 2024 through August 31, 2025.
By the time you list, those sales may be more than a year old, and the county never sees your updates or the work still needed. Use the assessment as a reference point, not as your price.
What 22204 Sales Show This Fall
Columbia Heights is in ZIP code 22204. Homes there that sold from July through September 2026 averaged 54 days on the market and sold for about 97.2% of their original list price, according to Bright MLS. The median sale price was $625,000, up 0.8% from a year earlier.
That median covers every type of home, so it is a rough guide at best. Type matters a great deal right now: NVAR reported that in September 2026, condo and townhouse listings in its Northern Virginia region were up 49.7% from a year earlier, while detached listings were up only 5.7%. If you own a condo or townhouse, you have more competition than a year ago, and the right price matters more.
Arlington County had about 3.9 months of supply in September 2026, compared with 3.0 a year earlier. Buyers have more to choose from, so a price that is right from the first day gives you the best chance.
Where Your Home Sits Matters
Location inside the neighborhood can move the number. Buyers notice how close a home is to Columbia Pike's shops and bus lines, to the Walter Reed Community Center and Park, and to the library on South Walter Reed Drive, and for a condo, which side of the building it faces. We weigh all of it.
