Market Data for Clarendon real estate

Take these graphs with a grain of salt since there are only several months of data from which to draw. Once there are 12 months of data the graphs will be more consequential to compare #s from a year ago.  Every year there are cycles of prices and DOM (days on market) that vary depending on the season.  So if you see some trends don't read too much into them.  The monthly fluctuations are a normal part of real estate.  Just click on the graph to get input on the market taking into account comparisons from a year ago at same time.  Look forward to your questions....And regarding the media sales price for condos in this chart it is likely that a whole set of upper end $ condos got listed in the month of May which distorts this chart a bit. 

Clarendon VA is often thought of as the laid-back, cool kid in Arlington's class of Urban Villages. This is a place where t-shirts, baseball caps, and Volvos prevail over pin-stripe suits and BMWs. You will find a nightlife destination where people can have a tasty yet moderately priced dinner before heading to one of several local bars. Of course, Clarendon VA is much more than that. Not just a hip place to hang out after work, it also offers mid-sized office buildings near the Clarendon Metro station and safe, stable neighborhoods full of single-family homes and tree-lined streets, offering great opportunities to live and work, in addition to 'playing.'

Clarendon VA plays host to businesses of all sorts and sizes, many of them with nationally recognized names. Gold's Gym is the destination of many a nine-to-fiver trying to keep fit, and the Clarendon Market Common shopping center just joined the retail market here, featuring a Barnes & Noble, Crate & Barrel, and Pottery Barn & Cheesecake Factory. But Clarendon VA is probably better known for its local, homegrown businesses. David Tax, owner of the Lazy Sundae ice cream parlor and the recently opened Big Belly Deli, stated simply – "It's a place where small businesses can thrive." This combination of local and national results in a shopping and retail scene that is quite varied and unique.  Another great example is Clarendon Ballroom and other bars that add to the nightlife scene.

The prevalence of small businesses also contributes to the strong sense of community that pervades the area and manifests itself through a variety of neighborhood organizations and special events. One such organization, The Clarendon Alliance, is a neighborhood association that unites residents with business owners, both local and national, to address community issues and concerns and to market the community. Regular events in the Clarendon VA area include a farmers market every Wednesday afternoon during the summer and a year-round antique and collectibles market on Saturdays. There is also an annual 5K race in the spring and the "Clarendon Day" festival in the fall. These other events reinforce the feeling of welcome and camaraderie that can be felt just spending an evening here. Joel Dabu, who has worked for the Clarendon Alliance for two years, may have put it best, saying that Clarendon VA is "like being in the city, but it's just more comfortable here."
