How fast they sold

The median South Riding home sold 7 days after listing.

Houses took a median 7 days and townhouses 7. Price still matters: 14% of sellers lowered the price before a buyer agreed.1

53%sold within 7 days (79 homes)
70%sold at or above the final list price (105 homes; 64 above)
14%lowered the price before the sale (21 homes)
35%paid a concession, median $7,000 (53 homes)

Out of 150 sales, October 20, 2025 to October 20, 2026. Concessions are money the seller gave toward the buyer's closing costs; the median is of the 53 sales that recorded one.

Follow the money

83 South Riding homes sold in the last 180 days, and 4% of them were paid in cash.

A second, newer pull of Bright MLS, from April 24 to October 21, 2026 : houses and townhouses together, condos left out. The median home sold in 7 days at 100.0% of its original list price. The other 96% of buyers did not pay all cash, which usually means a loan and a lender's appraisal. Prices, sold and for sale, ran from $563K to $1.675M, and 16 more homes were for sale or coming soon on October 21, 2026.

Zeros, said plainly: No townhouse sold for more than $887,500. No house sold for less than $783,000. 20 of the 45 houses sold for $1 million or more. No new construction sold.

South Riding's median of $332 per square foot is the lowest of the 8 neighborhoods in the table. Only Kirkpatrick Farms had a lower cash share (0%). Median days = median days on market. Sold vs list = median sold price as a share of the original list price. Cash = share of closed sales paid in cash. Per sq ft = median price per square foot. Source: Bright MLS (Matrix), pulled by Ahmed Makkiyah on October 21, 2026: homes within 5 miles of a point in Chantilly 20152, Coming Soon, Active and Closed in the last 180 days, houses and townhouses only, condos and senior communities left out. These figures cover a shorter, newer period than the 12-month figures above, so the two medians differ. Franklin Farm and Virginia Run sit at the edge of the 5-mile search, so some of their sales may fall outside it.

By section

Prices differ by section inside South Riding.

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

Sales by MLS subdivision name, October 20, 2025 to October 20, 2026
SectionSalesMedianMedian days on market
South Riding (no section named)145$775,0007
Reserve At South Riding (fewer than 10 sales)5$715,0006

"No section named" means the listing agent entered only "SOUTH RIDING". Houses and townhouses are counted together here.

Month by month

The HOA resale certificate

Order the South Riding packet when you list: 14 days standard, 3 business days rush.

Every South Riding home is in the South Riding Proprietary. Virginia law has the association give the seller a resale certificate for the buyer, and the seller pays for it.2,3

  1. Order it online. Use the “Order South Riding Documents Here” link on the Proprietary's disclosure page. Town Hall is at 703-327-4390.2
  2. Plan for 14 days. Standard delivery is 14 calendar days. Rush delivery is 3 business days, for an added fee.2
  3. Clear violations, then ask for the clearance inspection. Once you have the packet and have fixed any violations it lists, submit the Proprietary's “Request Resale Clearance Inspection” form.2
  4. 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

Condominium owners in Amberlea, Lakeside and Town Center order a second packet from their condo association. Condos are not in the sales figures on this page.
