Listed below you will see a accounting of each subdivision (or condominium) with listings in The Preston. This list is compiled from listings currently available today. The list below is updated every few minutes to make sure that we're supplying fresh information which you can rely on. The data listed below is taken directly from the Multiple Listing Service, so there are a few quirks to be aware of.
You might find a subdivision listed multiple times.
You should know that the names of subdivisions (or condominiums) collected below were all put into the MLS database by listing agents. Because humans entered the data, there can be typographical errors. Of course sometimes, those typographical errors can be corrected and that correction makes it seem like a property has been listed when actually the spelling on a listing was changed.
And, there may be some variances as to what exactly a particular neighborhood is called. If there is just one character of difference between a couple of entries this will be counted as different communities. Hence, when you really need to get a picture, you should look at all the variations of the subdivision's name. Case in point, Midtown condominiums in Fairfax County are by some people known as Midtown, Midtowns, Midtown condomiums, Midtown Alexandria, Midtown Alexandria Station.
"I saw a for sale sign posted but the community isn't listed below."
Is there another name for this particular neighborhood?
Naturally, for the reason stated above, try to you watch out for all typical variations of the spelling.
Is the listing for rent?
This tally does not cover rentals. So, it's possible that the sign you saw posted was for a rental. Furthermore, this tally
only includes listings on the market in The Preston.
Is the listing under-contract?
An active listing is a property that is available and for sale. There are some listings which have a sign posted that are not
active.
For example, from time to time a sign is up because the property is
coming soon. A property that is coming-soon is not
yet available and not yet for sale. Only agents can access to information about properties that are coming-soon. And, the Multiple Listing Service does not permit Nesbitt Realty to count those listings in our count. If you want to know about coming-soon listings in a particular subdivision, you'll have to reach out to us directly.
Is the property under-contract?
In addition, sometimes that a listing is already sold or
under contract when you see the for sale up. Sold notices aren't posted instantly. Also, from time to time that the listing agent is a little tardy with putting up the under-contract riders. For these reasons, you may see a for sale sign up when a listing is not active.
Do you want timely notices about listings from a particular community?
If you want to be contacted when a property is active in a specific community, just let us know. In addition, your agent can also give you specific information on a specific listing when you email Nesbitt Realty directly. We can recommend a real estate professional that can quickly find the information you need.
You can organize the neighborhoods by count or alphabetically.
The arrows at the header below are useful for arranging the subdivisions. Nevertheless, when you arrange by tally, just keep in mind the tips above, because the number isn't 100% true. Still, the list is still pretty accurate.
