Compared with the region
The FHFA’s all-transactions index for the Arlington-Alexandria-Reston metro division, which measures repeat sales and refinancings of the same houses, rose 2.6% from the second quarter of 2025 to the second quarter of 2026.

What the numbers are and are not
- Zillow’s index is a modeled typical value for the middle third of homes, not a sale price or an appraisal. Zillow revises past months, so figures here can change slightly when the series is updated.
- The county’s assessments are set as of Jan. 1 each year and are what your property tax is based on. The county’s 2026 average home value, $882,900, comes from its FY 2027 budget.
- The FHFA index tracks price changes, not price levels, and lags by a quarter.
