February Real Estate Statistics for Zip code 22207 in Arlington, Va.

Leave a comment

In 22207 total volume was down 33% year over year. However, the average sold price continues to go up as well as an increase in the Median sold price. These two numbers are a direct reflection of the limited inventory in this coveted N. Arlington zip code. The Average sold price topped the $1M mark in February 2015. For a variety of reasons 22207 is one of the more expensive zip codes to live in Arlington. Unlike some other zip codes the average days on market dropped year over year from 51 to 48. Increases in inventory tend to create more competition for buyers and you can see that there has been an increase in active listings and new listings year over year. This is a warning to sellers to not get too complacent about the increase in average sold price and that they should be wary of assuming they can get more then comparable properties selling in the last 30 days. That’s not to say you won’t, it’s just something to put in your big bag of variables when deciding how to price your home.

Days on Market way up from last year in Arlington

Leave a comment

Here’s a snapshot of the January real estate market provided by the multiple listing system. Prices and volume were up from last year but the days on market have increased significantly. Hint, hint…if you want to sell your home quickly, consider pricing it at or just below the comps. It is likely to have a significant effect on your days on market.

Arlington, Va drivers beware! New red light safety cameras to be installed

Leave a comment

This just in from the Arlington County Police Department:

ARLINGTON, VA – More red-light safety cameras will be installed at Arlington County intersections in the near future, providing 24-hour enforcement technology to chosen intersections. The additions involve seven cameras at five locations. Construction is expected to start at the intersection of Columbia Pike and George Mason Drive. Cameras will be installed at the following intersections:

  • Eastbound on Columbia Pike at S. Glebe Road
  • Westbound on Columbia Pike at S. Glebe Road
  • Eastbound on Columbia Pike at S. George Mason Drive
  • Northbound on N Glebe Road. at Washington Boulevard
  • Westbound on Lee Highway at N. George Mason Drive
  • Northbound on 23rd Street N. at US Route 1
  • Southbound on 23rd Street N. at US Route 1

There will be a 30 day “grace period” where warnings will be issued before the cameras go live. After the 30 day warning period, red light violators will be issued a $50 civil fine, which is similar to a parking citation and will not be added to the offender’s driving record.

The intersections are chosen based on state code 15.2-968.1 and consider the following factors:

  • Accident rate
  • Red light violation rate
  • Ability of police to apprehend violators safely within a reasonable distance from the violation
  • Pedestrian safety

Red-light safety cameras operate seven days a week and capture images of vehicles from the rear when drivers run a red light at an intersection. All violations are issued after police review of photographic and video evidence. Like other traffic violations, photo red-light violations can be challenged.

In June of 2010, cameras were installed at N. Glebe Road and N. Fairfax Drive; N. Lynn Street and eastbound Lee Highway; Washington Boulevard and Lee Highway; and Fort Meyers Drive and westbound Lee Highway. Since their installation, 34,761 citations have been issued through Dec 31, 2014. Ninety-seven percent of violators do not receive a second violation.

Arlington County contracts with American Traffic Solutions (ATS) as its red-light safety camera vendor.
