(Updated at 10:40 a.m.) In July, we highlighted a number of recently sold properties in Arlington, ranging from “budget buys” to homes that sold for well over asking price.

As a quick recap, more than 330 homes were recently sold in Arlington, according to Homesnap. On the flip side, 176 new listings hit the market in the past four weeks. In total, more than 654 homes are the market — 423 condos, 191 detached homes and 30 townhomes.

Now, let’s take a look at a few of the most expensive homes sold in July:

As pointed out by a reader, the Somerset Street property, in the Williamsburg neighborhood, was formerly owned by Washington Capitals star Nicklas Backstrom, who bought the house in 2010. It was featured in this video published by the Caps early last year, after Backstrom signed a new five-year, $46 million contract extension. The property was sold on July 13 to a local dentist.
