Fairfax Real Estate Market

Home prices in Fairfax, Virginia, tend to average between $500,000 and $700,000. Homes in this price range tend to have two to four bedrooms and be of moderate size. Much of this construction was developed in the mid-1950s through the present. Colonial- and Victorian-style homes built nearly 100 years earlier tend to be larger and more architecturally striking, but in exchange for their spacious floor plans and historic feel, they typically come with higher price tags between $1 and $1.2 million or more. The community also offers many newly constructed and historic condos and townhomes, and like single-family homes, these homes are typically priced between $500,000 and $700,000.
