Arlington Real Estate Market In 2009 And 2008
Welcome to the Arlington Real Estate Year In Review
Here’s a look back at the Arlington real estate market in 2009 and 2008 followed by the last monthly real estate report for the year. All data reflects properties listed on the MLS, the Multiple Listing System.
The Arlington real estate market was steady in 2009 with an increase of 3.5% over 2008 sales. Arlington single family sales were particularly strong with an increase in numbers of homes sold of well over 10%. That won’t come as a surprise to anyone who attended open houses in Arlington last year – they were typically mobbed and single families often received multiple offers. That phenomenon continues with one house in Arlington recieving ten offers after last weekend’s open house.
On the other hand, condo sales in Arlington were down almost 5% from 2008 sales. The median price paid for a condo in Arlington in 2009 was $340,500, down from the 2008 median price of $353,625.
