Just Listed highlights Arlington properties that just came on the market. This biweekly feature is written and sponsored by Coral Gundlach Homes.
Hello Arlington!
Coral Gundlach here with Coral Gundlach Homes at Compass in Arlington. I’ve been an Arlington homeowner since 2001 and a Realtor since 2004. I love this real estate market, even though it has its challenges.
Happy May 3! Fortunately, no corny Star Wars jokes are allowed, until tomorrow.
The real estate market in Arlington continues to have plenty of action, though it has calmed a bit with the rise in interest rates. Buyers are still out here looking, but sometimes thinking things over for more than an hour or two. There is a slight uptick in inventory, typical for this time of year but no great influx compared to past years, and we are still historically low.
We currently have a total of 252 listings Active in the MLS in Arlington as of the time I am writing this, and a total of 65 listed or re-listed in the last week. These numbers will likely change by publication.
Detached listings:
Condos and Co-ops:
There are 120 Condos/Co-ops currently active. 113 of those are condos. There were 25 condos and 2 co-ops listed in the last week. 28 went under contract in the last week. For condos, prices range from $235,000 for a 533 square foot one bedroom in The Chatham, built in 1965 with fees of $432/month to $1,395,000 for a 2 bed/2 bath 1,600 square foot 2013 built unit in Gaslight Square. Fees are $730/month.
Townhouse listings:
This week we will dive deeper into details of the townhouse listings and feature my latest listing, a Ballston Townhouse gem in Ballston Oak at 1134 North Stuart Street #1 in the 22201 zip code.
Of the non-condo townhouse segment, there are only 18 active in Arlington. Only 6 of those were newly listed and only 4 went under contract in the last week — 2 Pending, 2 Active Under contract. The new listings range in price from $565,000 for a 2 bed/2 bath in the Barcroft area in 22204, around 1,000 square feet with HOA fees of $158/month to our featured listing which is a 3 bedroom/3 bath, 2017 built townhouse in Ballston for $1,350,000. HOA fees are $192/month.
It is loaded with features that make it feel brand new, a gourmet kitchen with quartz counters, top-of-the-line appliances, an open floor plan, solid oak flooring, and a 2-car garage. The roof deck is extraordinary, with sweeping views, a pergola, rooftop garden and so much space for entertaining in warmer weather.

This question often perplexes those of us in the industry. However, the answer, in its essence, is remarkably straightforward.
The younger generation aren’t collectors. The more you have, the more you have to move, and young people move around a lot these days for work or personal interests. Then there is the patience factor; a great bottle of wine needs time to develop into something grand. Not to mention, the snobbery thing doesn’t sit well with some.
But let’s look at what works on any level of wine appreciation. Wine tastes good and completes and heightens any culinary experience. It can turn even microwaved leftovers into something special. Then, there is the social aspect; wine is meant to be shared, contemplated, and discussed. There is no harm in enjoying a glass by yourself, but wine tastes better when shared in good company.
Understanding wine is easy. Most of it is geography, where the grapes were grown and the wine made. You need to know the basics. No one expects anyone to identify a wine blind and correctly identify it. That’s ridiculous for this discussion.
Wine is history and speaks to our past, (more…)

According to a WSJ (paywalled) scoop this week, and as widely reported in other (non-paywalled) sources, the Biden Administration is weighing a major immigration move: granting a rare form of relief called “Parole in Place” to spouses of U.S. citizens. Our job, as your friendly local immigration lawyers, is to explain what this would mean and how it would work in practice.
First, we have to draw out a basic distinction. U.S. immigration law treats non-citizens quite differently depending on how they came to the United States. To simplify things enormously: if you came through the airport, you’re much better off than if you crossed the border.
If you came through the airport, and you subsequently marry a U.S. citizen, you can apply for a green card based on that marriage.
If you cross the border, and you subsequently marry a U.S. citizen, you can’t apply for a green card directly. (You can, under some circumstance, put into motion a half-decade long process through which you might be able to get a green card after many legal bills get paid and after you make a return trip to your country of origin for a cuticle-chomping interview at the U.S. Embassy, but that procedure is outside the scope of this explainer.)
