High ~ Low – How HIGH or low can you go??
September 10th, 2008 Categories: Alexandria Dirt, Arlington Dirt, Falls Church Dirt, McLean Dirt, Reston Dirt
I thought it would be fun today to look at the incredible range of properties that are currently on the market. The format for today is high/low. Here’s how it works…
Arlington County Virginia
Today in Arlington County there are 795 active listings – they range from a LOW of:
$90,000 – 1br/1ba bank-owned property in “Arlington Heights” condominium complex. This property has been on the market for 126 days![GetMedia[1]](http://thearlingtondirt.com/files/2008/09/getmedia1-small1.jpg)
to a HIGH of:
$8,850,000 – 5br/5ba ~2 acres of riverfront property. This unique home is a 12,000 sq ft contemporary with spectacular views of the river that was originally listed for $9.5M and has been on the market for 607 days.
Fairfax County Virginia

Alexandria City, Virginia

to a HIGH of:

Loudoun County Virginia

$74,900 – 1br/1ba bank-owned condo in Country Club Green condominium complex. This property has been on the market for 20 days.
to a HIGH of:
$7,500,000 – 7br/7ba Georgian home sited on 217 acres including a pool, large barn, sheds and other out-buildings. This home is in Bluemont and has been on the market for 138 days.
I find all of this information fascinating. Not only is it fun to imagine living in some of these super luxurious, high end homes, it’s just amazing at the variety of properties that are currently available for sale in our region. I do think it’s interesting to note that in every single case that I looked at today, the lowest priced property was bank owned; and if the days on market is any indication, they are NOT flying off the proverbial shelf. There are deals out there for those with a strong stomach!
If you’d like to see a mansion or a great deal, please don’t hesitate to pick up the phone and give me a call. I’m game for either end of the spectrum or anywhere in between!
Happy Wednesday

I’ve been meaning to see that 12,000 sq ft riverfront contemporary for awhile now. Have you ever been inside? Must be nice!

Like most markets it sounds like your market is segmented and could be strong or weak depending on situation.

nope Jay – I haven’t been inside – there are a few along McLean’s Gold Coast that are for sale now – that would be an excellent tour!
Have a great day
What a fun post, I like the idea of showing the high and low. Interesting info. for your readers
