Buying and Selling in Northern Virginia
Aldie offers a mix of single-family homes, townhomes, and new construction in communities like Lenah Run, Willowsford, and Westbury Glen. The best way to view listings is through the MLS, which I can set up for you with customized alerts. This way, you see homes the moment they hit the market — often before they appear on Zillow or Realtor.com.
Selling a home here means balancing preparation, pricing, and timing. Start with a professional valuation and a walkthrough to decide what updates (if any) will boost your price. Decluttering, deep cleaning, and small cosmetic fixes usually give the best ROI. I also provide market data and staging guidance to help your home stand out and attract serious buyers quickly.
South Riding has great family-friendly neighborhoods with strong schools, parks, and community amenities. Popular areas include Cedar Hunt, South Village, and Toll Brothers-built sections. The right fit depends on lifestyle — whether you want walkability, more space, or a quieter setting. I help buyers compare neighborhoods based on commute, schools, and long-term value.
As of 2025, single-family homes in Ashburn typically range from the mid-$800s to over $1.2M, with townhomes averaging in the $600s. Prices vary based on neighborhood (Brambleton vs. Broadlands vs. Ashburn Village), square footage, and updates. I track market data monthly so buyers and sellers know exactly where values are trending.
Yes! Loudoun and Fairfax have several active new construction communities. Builders like Toll Brothers, Stanley Martin, and NVHomes offer everything from townhomes to estate homes. Keep in mind that the builder’s sales rep works for the builder — not you. Having a Realtor® on your side ensures you get fair terms, upgrades, and protections in your contract.
Getting your home market-ready doesn’t have to mean a full remodel. In Aldie, the biggest impact often comes from simple updates: fresh neutral paint, updated fixtures, deep cleaning, decluttering, and boosting curb appeal with trimmed landscaping and power washing. These small steps help buyers see the full potential of your home and lead to stronger offers.
I’ve also created a special Aldie Home Prep Checklist that outlines everything you need to do — room by room. If you’re a neighbor considering selling, I’d be happy to share it with you. Just reach out and I’ll send it your way.
Buying here usually starts with getting pre-approved by a lender, then we build a search strategy around your lifestyle and budget. (I even have a list of lenders to help get you started!) From touring homes to making offers and negotiating, I walk clients through each step so they always know what’s next. I also explain options like new construction and rent-backs that are common in this market.
Aldie is known for new construction and larger homes, but there are still more affordable options in townhome communities like Amberlea or Stratshire Crossing. The key is setting up alerts so you see new listings the moment they go live. I help clients weigh affordability with long-term value in Aldie’s fast-moving market.
