Below you will see a accounting of each subdivision (or condominium) with listings in Fairfax. This list is compiled from listings currently available today. This list is recalculated throughout the day (and night) to ensure that we're providing fresh data that you may depend on. The information listed below is taken directly from the MLS database, so there are a few quirks to be aware of.
You may find a subdivision listed multiple times.
Firstly that the names of subdivisions (or condominium communities) found below were all put into the MLS database by listing agents. Because humans entered the data, there can be typographical errors. Later, those typographical errors can be corrected and that correction makes it appear that a listing has moved from one subdivision to another when actually the listing was updated.
Not to mention, there may be some variances as to what exactly a particular community is called. If there is just one letter of difference between two entries this will be listed as different communities. Thus, if you really want to get a tally, you have to look at all the variations of the subdivision's name. For example, Midtown condominiums in Alexandria are sometimes entered in as Midtown, Midtowns, Midtown condomiums, Midtown Alexandria, Midtown Alexandria Station.
"I saw a for sale sign posted but the community isn't found below."
Is there another name for this particular community?
Definitely, for the reason stated above, try to you watch out for all typical variations of the spelling.
Is the listing for lease?
This list does not cover rental properties. Therefore, it may be that the sign you saw posted was for a rental property. Furthermore, this tally
exclusively covers listings on the market in Fairfax.
Is the listing coming soon?
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, sometimes a sign is posted because the property is
coming soon. A property that is in coming-soon status is not
yet available and not yet on the market. Only agents have access to information about listings that are in coming-soon status. Also, the Multiple Listing Service does not allow us to list those properties in our tally. If you want to know about coming-soon homes in a specific community, you'll have to email Nesbitt Realty directly.
Is the listing under-contract?
Not to mention, sometimes that a listing is already
under contract when you spot the sign up. Sold or under-contract riders don't go up the second a contract is signed. Not to mention, sometimes that the listing agent is a little tardy with putting up the under-contract signs. For these reasons, it's possible to see a for sale sign up when a property is not available.
Do you need timely updates from a particular neighborhood?
If you want to be notified when a listing 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 us directly. We can provide a licensed real estate adviser that can quickly find the information you need.
You can organize the list by count or alphabetically.
The arrows at the header below are useful for arranging the neighborhoods. Nevertheless, when you sort by tally, just remember the tips above, because the number isn't completely true. Nevertheless, the list is still pretty accurate.
