The Arlington County housing market in May 2026
Prices in Arlington County edged up to a median of $820,000 in May 2026, 2.6% higher than a year earlier. Homes listed that month had a median asking price of $675,000, and sold for a median of $496 per square foot. The average sale closed at 100.8% of asking price and 42% of homes sold above list, so buyers are still bidding against each other.
There were 543 homes for sale at the end of May, down 3% from a year earlier, or 2.1 months of supply, still on the sellers' side. The typical home that sold had been listed for 29 days, 1 day longer than a year earlier. 57% of homes went under contract within two weeks of listing. Compared with May 2025, owners listed 6% fewer homes and sales were up 12%.
27% of listings had a price cut in May 2026 (3.3 points fewer than a year earlier), a moderate share.
For FSBO outreach, this means many Arlington County owners can still sell on their own, so lead with pricing data and a net-proceeds comparison rather than an offer to list.

Arlington County since 2019
The median sale price averaged about $855,000 from March to May 2026, up 38% from about $618,000 in the same months of 2019.
Prices are at or near their highest level since at least 2019.
Supply has grown well past pre-pandemic levels: about 506 homes were for sale in an average month in spring 2026, against 343 in spring 2019, 48% more.
In spring 2026 the median time on market averaged about 30 days, 15 days longer than in spring 2019 (15 days).
For FSBO outreach, that means more Arlington County owners are competing for buyers than before the pandemic, and more of them are likely to need help.
When Arlington County homeowners list
Listing activity is strongly seasonal in Arlington County. Over the three years to May 2026, new listings peaked in April and May, with April running about 47% above the monthly average, and bottomed out in December, about 66% below it. Homes that sold in May had spent the least time on the market (a median of about 25 days), and those that sold in January the most (about 64 days).
Have your list, scripts and mail pieces ready by March, so you reach new FSBO owners in their first weeks. Sales are slowest around January, so FSBO owners still on the market then have often been waiting for months and tend to be the most open to help.
What sells in Arlington County: homes by type
Condos and co-ops made up 42% of sales in Arlington County in the 12 months to May 2026, followed by single-family homes at 39%. In May 2026, single-family homes sold for a median of $1,450,000, 234% more than condos and co-ops ($434,400), and took 27 days less to sell. Because condos lead the market here, expect many Arlington County FSBO sellers to be unit owners rather than owners of houses.
| Type | Homes sold, 12 months | Share of sales | Median sale price, May 2026 | Median days on market, May 2026 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Condos and co-ops | 996 | 42% | $434,400 | 43 |
| Single-family homes | 919 | 39% | $1,450,000 | 16 |
| Townhouses | 443 | 19% | $646,000 | 22 |

Working Arlington County FSBO leads
- Treat condo owners separately. Condos and co-ops made up 42% of Arlington County sales over the past year and sold for a median $434,400 in May 2026, so tailor your pitch to unit owners, whose buyers weigh monthly association fees alongside the price.
- Time it. Put your heaviest outreach into April and May, when the most Arlington County homes come to market, and ease off in December.
- Bring the numbers. On a $820,000 home, each 1% of commission is about $8,200, the money most FSBO owners are trying to keep, so a net-sheet comparison lands better than a pitch.
- Use the 29-day mark. Half of the Arlington County homes that sold in May 2026 had been listed 29 days or less, so an FSBO still for sale after that is likely stalling.
- Stay compliant and verify. Stop contacting any owner who says "no agents" or "no investors", confirm ownership and liens in Arlington County records before an offer, and add skip tracing for records without a phone number.
