One dot per year: the median sale price of houses that closed January 1 to September 30 of that year, so each year covers the same months.
A median tracks the mix of houses that sold each year, not the value of one house. Bright MLS closed sales pulled by Ahmed Makkiyah between October 2 and October 11, 2026. The Lorton town guide has the townhouse line too.

Per square foot, Lorton houses rank 17th of 17 towns on this list in Fairfax County.
Median sale price per above-grade square foot, houses, January 1 to October 2, 2026. Tap a town to open its estimator.
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 Lorton 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.
