Why do I say magical? Because homes here are almost always in demand. The location is very good, close to everything yet there’s a wonderful neighborhood feel. The local elementary school, McKinley, is the glue that binds many of the neighbors and makes this a great place to raise kids. But of course people of all ages live here and enjoy it.
The heart of the neighborhood is Madison Manor Park, which abuts Interstate 66 and the Washington & Old Dominion (W&OD) and Four Mile Run bike paths.
In 2000 The Washington Post published an article about the neighborhood, and the description still holds true.
So you want in? Well, be quick about it. Homes in Madison Manor tend to go under contract pretty quickly. Over the past six months, homes have been on the market an average of only 16 days before getting to a ratified contract. The average sales price for homes in the Madison Manor neighborhood of Arlington VA has been $702,414. The price range is also very interesting to look at, because it tells you that homes in this neighborhood still tend to be priced at roughly the same level: prices have ranged from $520,000 (this was primarily for the land) – $998,000. Most homes, though, are currently priced in the $600,000-$800,000 range.
You want out? Don’t worry, selling your home in the Madison Manor neighborhood of Arlington VA should not be difficult. You’ve got location going for you, so the thing is to make sure your house appeals to what today’s buyers seek. That sort of guidance should be very specific to your home. Any agent can tell you that buyers these days prefer to buy a house that is move-in ready, and that stainless steel and hardwood floors are the preferred finishes. It’s a matter of putting it all together in such a way that you get the most bang for the buck. For that, you should give me a call. I’d love to see your home!
