When buyers are looking for Falls Church homes for sale, they often ask about the public school choices. While many are familiar with the larger school systems in adjacent Fairfax County or Arlington County, some are not as familiar with the Falls Church City Public Schools system. Let’s start with the first order of business – some homes known as “Falls Church” homes are actually in Fairfax County and go to Fairfax County public schools. Other “Falls Church” homes are in the City of Falls Church, which is its own jurisdiction and has its own public school system.

For those living in the City of Falls Church, there is one public school for each of four separate grade level ranges. These levels are broken out as follows, with a link provided to the website of each corresponding school:

Grades K-1: Mount Daniel Elementary School

Grades 2-4: Thomas Jefferson Elementary School

Grades 5-7: Mary Ellen Henderson Middle School

Grades 8-12: George Mason High School

Now here’s the complicated part – if you are looking for homes near George Mason High School, you will be looking for homes located in the City of Falls Church. This, of course, is not to be confused with homes near George Mason University, which is located in Fairfax County. However, if you are looking for homes near Falls Church High School, you will be looking for homes located in Fairfax County, and NOT in the City of Falls Church. Falls Church High School is part of the Fairfax County Public Schools system, and its boundaries include parts of Fairfax County that go by the name “Falls Church”, “Fairfax”, “Annandale”, and “Vienna”.

The important message here is that if you’re looking at homes you THINK are within the Falls Church City Public Schools system, be careful to check the exact home location and the school boundaries. Professional Realtors, such as those on the Equity Rise Real Estate Team, will be happy to help with that aspect of your search.

Homeowners in the DC area can be thankful for our continued strong market. In fact, homeowners nationwide can appreciate that the numbers continue to rebound, as the Atlantic's "Chart of the Day" interestingly illustrates. However, every story has at least two sides...the jury is out as to whether the "rebound" illustrated actually reflects the artificially slower rate of foreclosures this year.

In financing news, we in the DC area got a bit of good news (in addition to the ridiculously low rates, that is): FHA loan limits were upped back to the previously "temporary" limit of $729,750. That's great news in terms of affordability for homes in the $800,000-$900,000 price range. FHA continues to be a thorn in the side of many condo complexes, though; communities lost their certification earlier this year and many are finding it hard to win approved status. Despite that, the market continues to be more active than usual for this time of year.

Low rates are bringing out buyers and investors, but low inventory keeps them frustrated. Homes at the "right" price ARE selling.

If you know someone looking to move, please contact us. And if you're thinking of selling, contact us for a no obligation market analysis of your home and review of statistics in your local neighborhood. You can"introduce" yourself to us via our HGTV Show "My First Place" airing again on November 25 (this Friday) at 8 am.

This year, once again, we are thankful for all of you—our clients and friends who refer us business. Thank you for your continued support and we wish you a happy and healthy holiday season!

Falls Church City was named the richest county in America, according to an article on Forbes.com. Falls Church City brought home the honor by having a median annual household income of $113,313. But Falls Church isn't the only Washington suburb to make the list of the 10 richest counties in the nation. Loudoun County came in at number two with a median annual household income of $112,021, with Fairfax County taking the number three spot on the list ($104,259). Two other local jurisdictions made the top 10: Howard County, Md., has a median household income of $101,003 and placed 5th, and Fairfax City nabbed the tenth spot on the list with a median household income of $96,232. While many areas of the nation are plagued by unemployment, Falls Church and the surrounding suburbs are home to people who work as government contractors, lobbyists, lawyers, and consultants, with federal dollars stoking the economic engine of the area. The area also boasts strong school systems, which helps attract wealthy residents.
