About Alexandria's Kingstowne

Kingstowne (22315, 22310) had a solid month in real estate for February 2012. While the transaction totals stayed relatively the same to February 2011 the median sales price increased substantially.

Single Family Homes:

In February 2011, 18 homes sold at a median sales price of $409,450 in comparison to February 2012 when17 homes sold at a median sales price of $589,000.

Townhomes/Condos:

In February 2011, 30 TH/condos sold at a median sales price of $308,000 in comparison to February 2012 when 22 TH/condos sold at a median sales price of $362,450.

There are currently 139 properties under contract, and only 39 of them are short sales. Low interest rates still make it a good time to buy but, there are many potential buyers still cautiously sitting on the fence. Buyers that are willing to move forward are setting themselves up with favorable terms for the long run. Prices aren’t getting any better and holding off for an extended period could drastically affect buyers “bang for their buck.”
