NoVA Home Types, part 1: single-family homes.

No shared walls, and the yard is yours. So is the upkeep: lawn, roof, exterior. Sizes and layouts vary a lot from one neighborhood to the next, and many neighborhoods have an HOA while some don't.

Before you write an offer, ask about the age of the roof and major systems, the lot lines, and the HOA rules.

Four kinds of homes you'll see across Northern Virginia, all ones we've filmed:

1. Single-family: no shared walls, your own yard
2. Townhomes: shared walls, multiple levels
3. Stacked townhomes: two-level homes, one over another
4. Condos: you own the unit, and the association handles the building

Not sure which fits how you want to live? We're happy to talk it through.

About the same number of homes came on the market this September as last September.

But 744 fewer got an accepted offer.

New listings: 5,529 last year, 5,514 this year.
Accepted offers: 4,348 last year, 3,604 this year.

That gap is why homes for sale across the D.C. metro jumped 20.1%. Higher mortgage rates are the reason.

Closer to home, we pulled 90 days of Reston and Herndon listings. Homes that sold took a median of 16 days. The active listings have waited about 44 so far.

Want the numbers for your street? Message us or call 703-653-4899. No pressure.

From the archive: a Herndon home tour we filmed in 2023.

We walked the kitchen, the bedrooms, and the backyard with its peach and apple trees. Then we headed into downtown Herndon for a local brewery and a slice of pizza.

That's how we think about a home. It's the house, and it's everything around it.

Thinking about Herndon? We're happy to walk you through it.

Before you bag every leaf this weekend, read this. 🍂

October is the National Wildlife Federation’s Leave the Leaves Month, and the idea is simple: a lot of what lives in your yard over the winter is living in those leaves.

🦋 Most butterflies and moths don’t migrate. They winter in the leaf litter as eggs, caterpillars or chrysalises.
🐝 Bumble bee queens burrow an inch or two into the soil. A leaf layer on top is their insulation.
🐦 More insects in the leaves means more food for birds. (Slide 3 is a hawk Marc photographed this fall.)

The smart version for Northern Virginia:

✅ Leave them in garden beds, under trees and shrubs, along fence lines
🔁 Mow them into the lawn if they’re piling up. A thick wet mat can smother grass
🚫 Keep them off walks, out of the street, and never in a storm drain

Then check the rules. In NWF’s 2026 survey, 52% said an HOA or local rule requires them to remove leaves. Herndon’s vacuum pickup runs Oct 12–Dec 11. Leesburg’s curb pickup started Oct 19.

Listing this fall? Clear what the camera sees. Let the beds keep theirs.

Thanks to Wild Birds Unlimited of Ashburn for the reminder. 🙌

Halloween is next Saturday, so this is the weekend every calendar in NoVA turns into a trick-or-treat trail.

We kept a couple. Then we went looking for the rest: a Broadway musical in Old Town Thursday, barn animals by jack-o’-lantern light at Frying Pan Farm Friday, the 76th Annandale Parade Saturday morning (kids march in costume), real archaeologists with real artifacts at Banshee Reeks, a DJ under the Reston Pavilion Saturday night, and harvest weekend at Mount Vernon.

Six towns. Costumes optional. 📍 Swipe for times — and save it for Friday.

Most weeks the calendar clumps up on Saturday. This one doesn’t.

August 3–9 has something free every single day: Rocknoceros on the plaza in Ashburn Monday, National Night Out Tuesday, ska in Alexandria Wednesday, zydeco at the Government Center Thursday at 5:30 (yes, you can make that one after work), ‘80s covers on the Herndon Town Green Friday, a Beatles tribute under the Reston Pavilion Saturday, and classical on the lawn Sunday night.

Seven days, seven towns, none of it costs a dollar. 📍 Swipe for the whole week — and save it, you’ll want it Wednesday.

Nothing beats handing over the keys at the closing table—especially to first-time homebuyers. 🔑🏡

After a long search, Coco had the privilege of helping these wonderful clients find the home that was truly meant for them. Seeing the excitement on their faces made every showing, every offer, and every step of the journey worth it.

Congratulations on your first home! Wishing you years of happiness and unforgettable memories in this new chapter.

There is no such thing as “the D.C. market” right now.

You’re going to hear that inventory is up 9% across the metro. That’s true. It’s also close to useless on its own — because it’s an average of three markets that have stopped behaving alike.

We ran the numbers on where those extra listings actually came from:

→ The metro added **923** homes to the active market vs. last June
→ Condos supplied **883** of them
→ Townhomes added 200
→ Detached homes went the other way — **160 fewer** houses for sale than a year ago

So if you own a house, your market got tighter this year, not looser. Detached homes are going under contract in 8 days, supply dropped to 2.12 months, and closed sales rose 9.8%.

If you’re shopping for a condo, you have something you haven’t had in a while: time. 24 days on market, 4.22 months of supply — roughly twice the competition a detached seller faces.

Closer to home: Fairfax County (1.86 months) and Loudoun County (1.89) hold the tightest supply of any large jurisdiction in the region — about 30% below the metro figure.

The metro average won’t tell you much. Your property type and your county will.

Swipe through, then tell us which of the three you’re in 👇
