This Fall's Market for Old Dominion Buyers
If you want a house, there are still fewer choices than in the condo market. NVAR found detached listings in its Northern Virginia region up 5.7% in September 2026 from a year earlier, compared with 49.7% more condos and townhouses. Bright MLS showed Arlington County at about 3.9 months of supply that month, up from 3.0.
Bright MLS also reported Arlington's median sale price for July through September 2026 up 11.1% from a year earlier. With more homes on the market overall, you may have more time to decide and more room to ask for repairs or closing help.
Before you make an offer, we review recent sales of similar homes nearby with you, so the price you offer is grounded in what homes like it have sold for.
What to Check in a Century-Old House
In an older farmhouse or kit house, ask about the foundation, roof, windows, wiring and electrical panel, plumbing, and the furnace, air conditioning and water heater. Look for signs of water in the basement, ask about past additions and whether they had permits, and read the lead-based paint disclosure that comes with homes built before 1978.
In a newer house, ask for the permits and the builder's warranty, and find out how much coverage is left.
A home inspection checks the structure, roof, electrical, plumbing and systems. We can schedule it, or you can arrange it yourself, and we go through the report with you. If a house is not right for you, we will tell you.
