Price per square foot runs higher in smaller, older houses and on bigger lots, so it compares towns, not individual homes. More towns and every community guide are on the Seller hub.
What moves the price
Five things that put a City of Alexandria home above or below the median.
Buyers and appraisers price the finished space above grade first. A basement adds value, but at a lower rate.
A kitchen, baths and systems done in the last few years show up in the price. Original finishes usually sell below the median.
Backing to trees or a quiet street, versus a busy road or power lines, can move two houses of the same size well apart.
Two homes a street apart can go to different schools. Check yours on the school boundary finder.
