🦺 The cost of buying a new home in Northern VA...and what you get...

💵 Where Are the Most Expensive New Homes?
Since 2025, the average new home in Northern VA sold for nearly $2,100,000 for 5,700SF with 5-6 bedrooms and five full bathrooms. The most expensive new home markets, by a mile, were Great Falls ($4.3M) and Mclean ($4.1M).

🏡 Best and Worst Counties for Lot Size
Arlington offers the worst cost per acre, with the average new home sitting on 0.19 acres and selling for $2.5M. New homes in Fairfax County (0.53 acres), Loudoun County (0.96 acres), and Prince William County (2.67 acres) all offer owners more space and privacy.

🏦 Best Values Are In....
The best value for a new home and lot size are found in Prince William County, particularly in Manassas where 29 new homes sold since 2025 averaging $1.15M for 4,750SF on 1.7 acres. Leesburg is another great target for buyers, with 91 new homes selling since 2025 averaging $1.5M for 5,000+ SF on 0.6 acres.

🚘 Go To Vienna, They Said...
Oftentimes, buyers who are deterred by new home prices in Arlington consider turning their attention to Vienna, assuming they’ll get better prices because it’s outside of the beltway. Unfortunately, that’s not the case. While you get more for your dollar ($396/SF in Vienna vs $467/SF in Arlington), prices for new homes in Vienna are often higher than in Arlington ($2.496M vs $2.474M) because Vienna homes are often bigger (average 1,100SF more) and lots are bigger (0.45 acre vs 0.19 acre).

How often do buyers back out of real estate deals?

It’s taken me over a decade to get my hands on this data for the DMV and I finally have it! Here’s what I found most interesting about contract fall-through rates in Northern VA, DC, and MD Suburbs:

**Northern VA Buyers Are More Committed Than DC or MD Buyers**

-Fall-through rates in Northern VA are 11.4%. In the MD Suburbs it’s 13.8% and in DC it’s 15.2%
-Arlington County buyers are the most committed across Northern VA, with a fall-through rate less than 10%

**Spring Buyers Are More Committed**

-In Northern VA, just 9.6% of contracts fell through, but 12.8% fall through in December
-The lowest fall-through rates are February-June, which overlaps with some of the best times of year to sell

Buying a condo (in Arlington) has become cheaper relative to renting. Buying a detached house has not.

🏢 The average price of an Arlington condo increased by just 6% since 2020, but the average cost of renting a condo increased by 21%. The shift happened in 2022, when interest rates skyrocketed.

🏠 The same cannot be said about a detached single-family home. Since 2020, the average purchase price increased by 26%, and the average rent increased by 28%.

🔑 Key Takeaway: Condo buyers are more rate sensitive than detached home buyers.

🚨 Alert Cash Buyers: Cash buyers are not exposed to higher mortgagte rates and thus benefit the most by the cheaper condo prices relative to condo rents.

Q1 is in the books, and the DMV housing market is telling two different stories.

*In Northern VA, conditions shifted back in favor of sellers*
Buyer demand increased for the first time in a year, while new listing activity softened again. Fewer homes coming to market + stronger absorption = more competition for buyers and more leverage for sellers.

*Meanwhile, the Washington DC condo market continues to struggle*
Demand has declined year-over-year for 16 straight quarters, inventory remains more than double 2020 levels, and average list prices are down nearly 10% from last year.

Real estate headlines and national news rarely tell the full story. Micro-markets matter.

The fight over listings has shifted from theory to reality.

What once looked like a debate over private listings and pre-market marketing has become a much larger battle over who controls listing data, where homes are marketed, and what information buyers and sellers can actually trust.

***Three forces are competing:***

• Brokerages pushing private and phased listing strategies, often centered on controlling exposure and early listing data.
• MLS platforms built as cooperative marketplaces and a shared source of accurate, transparent market information.
• Portals like Zillow, Redfin, Realtor.com, and Homes.com competing for consumer attention while now forming new partnerships to access pre-market inventory.

***Why it matters:***

• Buyers may see fewer homes depending on which agent or platform they use.
• Sellers may lose broad exposure that historically helped maximize value.
• Days on market, price history, and comparable sales data can become less reliable.

***My view is simple: fragmentation is bad for consumers.***

Private listings can absolutely be the right strategy in certain cases. But when fragmented inventory becomes the norm, transparency declines, access becomes less equitable, and market data becomes weaker for everyone.

This is no longer an industry thought exercise. It is happening in real time, and buyers and sellers should understand how quickly the landscape is changing.

I break down the latest moves, the competing incentives, and what it means for consumers in my latest Ask Eli article at www.Ask-Eli.com
