Looking to buy or sell a house in the Nottingham School District in Arlington?

If you are a homeowner in the Nottingham Elementary School District in Arlington, Virginia and are thinking about selling, these numbers might help you decide whether 2011 is the right time or not. 

Despite the generally glum real estate news nationwide, the DC Metro area has fared better than most, and North Arlington is well underway to a recovery, especially in the Nottingham School District!

Looking at the sales figures ending 2010, as you will see in the chart to the right, 2010 saw gains in every aspect of activity - except for days on market, active listings and months supply (and in those cases lower is better!).

Houses in this market were listed for less time and sold very close to list price, much closer than in 2009.

Plus, Nottingham Elementary was just given the Governor's Award of Excellence for 2011.

The Nottingham District is one of the districts in the North West part of the county, in between Tuckahoe and Jamestown Districts.   

There are currently 9 houses listed in the Nottingham District right now, ranging in price from $629,000 for a 3 bedroom 2 bath Cape Cod to $1,649,999 for a brand new 5 bedroom, 5 bath home.

It's a great neighborhood that covers a large part of North Arlington, with different parts that are walkable to Lee Heights Shops, Lee Harrison Shopping Center and the Williamsburg Shopping Center.  There are frequent bus lines thorugh the neighborhood too that get you to the East Falls Church or Ballston Metros in no time. 

Here are two of the houses I sold in this neighborhood last year, right on Nottingham Street!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Call or email me if you are thinking about selling or buying in Arlington this year and want sound, honest real estate advice. This is just one market snapshot of many beautiful neighborhoods here in Arlington.   In 2010, my listings sold for 99% of list price within 13 days on average.  I also negotiated 4% off list price for my buyers.  I live here and know the neighborhoods well!
