Home price appreciation is something I track closely for my clients across Virginia, and 2026 is shaping up to be an eye-opener for certain Northern Virginia neighborhoods. Rosslyn is projected to lead the way with a 56% increase, followed by Alexandria at 44%, Vienna at 20%, McLean at 17%, and Ashton Heights/Clarendon at 16%. These surges are largely fueled by strong sales activity and a high number of cash buyers. With nearly four decades in real estate and hands-on experience as a licensed builder and retired home inspector, I’m always interested in what drives these local trends. Whether you’re just starting to explore the market or looking to make a strategic move, understanding which areas are on the rise—and why—can make all the difference.
