Out of 44 sales, October 21, 2025 to October 21, 2026. Concessions are money the seller gave toward the buyer's closing costs; the median is of the 13 sales that recorded one.
By section
Prices differ by section inside Fair Lakes.
Bright MLS files each listing under a subdivision name. Sections with fewer than 10 sales are grouped together, because a median of a handful of sales says little.1
| Section | Sales | Median | Median days on market |
|---|---|---|---|
| Enclave at Fair Lakes | 15 | $998,242 | 7 |
| Fair Lakes Court | 11 | $785,000 | 5 |
| Fair Lakes (no section named) | 10 | $717,450 | 6 |
| 2 smaller sections together | 8 | $782,495 | 5.5 |
"No section named" means the listing agent entered only "FAIR LAKES".

The HOA resale certificate
Each Fair Lakes section has its own association: order from yours when you list.
Fair Lakes townhouse sections each have their own homeowners association and manager. Virginia law has the association give the seller a resale certificate for the buyer, and the seller pays for it.2,3
- Find your association’s manager. Your association’s manager takes the order. At the Enclave at Fair Lakes, that is Gates Hudson Community Management, 703-752-8300.2
- Order early. Virginia gives an association 14 days after it receives the request to deliver the certificate, so ask before your home goes on the market.3
- Ask if a second packet is needed. Some homes belong to more than one association. Ask the manager whether your home needs another certificate as well.3
- Know the price caps. Virginia caps what associations can charge: $176.64 for an electronic certificate, $211.96 for paper, $70.66 for rush or a pre-settlement update and $141.31 for an inspection. The seller pays.4
