Arlington, VA Market Snapshot – Early September 2025

Arlington is like the picky luxury buyer at an open house — hard to impress, but once you do, they’re willing to pay.

Breaking Down the Numbers

• MAI 39: Sellers still call most of the shots, but buyers aren’t desperate.
• Median Price $1.78M: Arlington’s mix leans heavily into high-end single-family homes. That number makes sense when you look at the zip codes.
• 138 active listings: Not a lot for a market this size, which gives sellers an edge.
• 74 median days on market: Luxury buyers take their time — they’re not rushing into million-dollar deals.
• 36% price cuts: Even here, overpricing gets punished.

My Take

For Sellers: Arlington buyers are like job interviewers — they’ve seen dozens of candidates, and they know when you’re overconfident. Price it right, stage it like you care, and they’ll move.

For Buyers: The longer a home sits (30+ days), the better chance you have to negotiate. Don’t be afraid to ask for credits or price adjustments — sellers know the clock is ticking.
