Question: How much are Arlington’s most expensive homes?
Answer: The first $1M sale in Arlington (recorded in the MLS) was a 4,300 SF penthouse in a Rosslyn condo building, The Atrium, in 1996. Last year, 727 homes sold for $1M or more and there are currently six homes for sale with an asking price over $4M.
Arlington is a very expensive housing market by most measures, except for the “missing ultra high-end,” but just how much money does it take for a home to be considered expensive in Arlington?
Let’s look at how the price of an expensive home in Arlington has changed over the past 25 years. In the first chart, I define an expensive home as homes that fall in the top 10% of sale prices in a given year.
The most notable data point in these charts is that the average price of an expensive home increased by 89% from 1999 to 2004, compared to 38% from 2019 to 2024.
