What Your Home Is Worth in Douglas Park
A free home value from people who walk through your home, not a number from a website.
Your Free Douglas Park Home Value, Compared the Right Way
Your Douglas Park home value comes down to one thing: comparing your house with the right sales. We come to you, walk through the house with you, and then match it with recent sales of homes that are truly like it. Then we tell you what it would likely sell for if you listed it today.
It is free and there is no obligation. You can be ready to sell this month or just curious about where you stand. Either way, we are glad to come by.

Original, Expanded or New: Why It Changes Everything
Douglas Park began to fill in during the late 1920s and grew a great deal during and after World War II, so many of its houses started as bungalows and Colonial Revivals from those years. Since then, a lot of them have been expanded with additions, and a good number of brand-new homes have been built.
Picture three houses on one block: an original bungalow, the same bungalow with a large addition, and a new build. They can sell for very different prices. An online estimate tends to blend them together, which can make an original house look worth more than it is and a new or expanded house look worth less.
We keep them apart. Original homes are compared with original homes, expanded with expanded, new with new. We also look at how well an addition was done, because buyers notice when a house flows and when it does not.
Prepared or As It Is: Two Numbers, Side by Side
Not every seller wants to prepare the house before it goes on the market. Some would rather list it as it is, with little or no work done.
We show you two numbers side by side: what the house could sell for prepared, and what it might sell for as it is. Either way, we list it, market it and handle the sale for you. You see both before you decide, so you are never guessing which way pays you more.
Your County Assessment Is Not Your Sale Price
Arlington County sends out assessment notices every January. The county says it assesses property at 100% of fair market value as of January 1, and its 2026 residential assessments were based on sales from September 1, 2024 through August 31, 2025.
Taxes have to be figured from a set date, so the assessment always looks back at older sales. The county also does not know about the addition you finished last year or the kitchen you redid. Treat it as a reference, not as the price a buyer will pay.
What the Douglas Park Market Is Doing Now
Douglas Park is in ZIP code 22204. Homes there that sold from July through September 2026 took an average of 54 days to sell and received 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.
The median includes every kind of home in the ZIP code, from condos to new detached houses, so it says little about any one house. Property type matters more than ever: in September 2026, NVAR reported condo and townhouse listings across its Northern Virginia region up 49.7% from a year earlier, while detached listings rose only 5.7%.
Arlington County had about 3.9 months of supply in September 2026, up from 3.0 a year earlier. Buyers can take their time and compare, so the opening price carries more weight now. Overpricing at the start usually costs more than it gains.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Douglas Park home value really free?
Yes. It is free and there is no obligation. You don't have to be ready to sell, and we will never push you to list before you are ready.
How much does an addition add to a Douglas Park home's value?
It depends on the size, the quality and how well it fits the house. We compare your home with recent 22204 sales of homes that were also expanded, so the number reflects what buyers actually paid.
Why is my Arlington County assessment different from what my home would sell for?
The county assesses value as of January 1, using older sales. For 2026, residential assessments used sales from September 2024 through August 2025. We use the latest sales and look at your actual house.
Is it worth preparing my Douglas Park house, or should I sell it as it is?
We show you what the house could sell for prepared and what it might sell for as it is. Seeing both side by side tells you which way makes sense, and either way we list it and handle the sale.
