Hi Lisa. Condos seem to be a hot market in your area right now. Nice 30 day comparisons with your Market Reports for Condos. The good news is they are selling, and the prices seem to be very consistent.

Yes Jerry, the condo market in Alexandria is pretty stable at the moment.  Alexandria is normally a relatively pricey area, but condo prices are very affordable these days...even for the 1st time home buyer.  With interest rates holding steady as well, it is the perfect time to buy a condo in Alexandria!

Thanks Wandanna!  Yes, it is a great time to buy a condo in Alexandria.  In a strong seller's market like we have seen in the recent past, many first time buyers were priced out of the Alexandria housing market.  However, it is definitely a great time to purchase in Alexandria!
