What the market numbers mean for your house
Each measure answers a different question and applies to the source, area, and period shown beside it. None sets a price for your particular Arlington house. Condition, needed repairs, whether tenants live there, access, and your timing can all affect the comparison. Include the costs and time you would carry the property while you decide.
Virginia selling costs in Arlington County
Virginia charges grantor tax when a deed is recorded. The seller pays 50 cents for each $500 of the greater of the sale price or value—about 0.1%, or $100 on a $100,000 sale. In Arlington County, the regional WMATA capital fee and congestion relief fee each add 0.1%; with grantor tax, those three charges total $300 on a $100,000 sale. Separate Virginia state recordation taxes and any local recordation tax also apply. The sale contract can shift who pays; exemptions and transfers with little or no consideration can change the amount, so the settlement agent confirms the figures for the sale.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including Virginia state and local recordation taxes, grantor tax and any applicable regional WMATA capital fee, regional congestion relief fee or regional transportation improvement fee.
Your mortgage, liens, back taxes and share of current property taxes are separate from that closing-cost promise.
What you may keep after the sale
The sale price is the gross amount, not the money left after costs. Compare a realistic sale price or written offer with your mortgage payoff, liens, back taxes, current property-tax share, repairs or cleanout, listing costs if you list, and the bills you carry while you wait.
Just an estimate — the actual number could be more or less depending on the home's condition.

Do Arlington market figures tell me what my house is worth?
The shared display labels each available measure with its source, area, and period. Those figures describe market activity or modeled values; they do not price your particular house.
How can condition, repairs, tenants, or timing change my comparison?
Needed repairs, the home’s condition, whether tenants live there, access, and how long you can wait can all change the practical comparison. Put those details beside a listing plan or written cash offer.
Which selling costs apply in Arlington County?
Virginia grantor tax and Arlington’s regional WMATA capital and congestion relief fees can apply, along with separate state and local recordation taxes. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including Virginia state and local recordation taxes, grantor tax and any applicable regional WMATA capital fee, regional congestion relief fee or regional transportation improvement fee. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes and share of current property taxes are separate.
How is the sale price different from the money I may keep?
The sale price is the gross amount. What you may keep depends on costs such as your mortgage payoff, liens, taxes, repairs, cleanout, listing costs if you list, and the bills you carry while waiting. Use the Arlington calculator to change planning assumptions for your comparison.
