UrbanTurf is once again taking its semi-regular look at the areas around DC that have seen the highest home price appreciation so far in 2026. Today, we turn to the close-in Northern Virginia zip codes where prices have risen the most.

In the table below, we outline the areas that have seen the largest percentage increase in home values this year, based on year-to-date median sold prices through June, using data from Bright MLS.

The zip code where home values have risen the most so far this year is 22209, covering Rosslyn and the surrounding Arlington submarket, where the year-to-date median sold price has climbed to $740,000, up nearly 59% from a year ago. It's worth noting that every sale recorded in 22209 this year was a condo or co-op and many of the sales were for new condos, not resale units; sold volume in the zip rose almost 36% to $81.9 million on 97 units, up from 81 a year ago, and nearly half of those deals were all-cash.

Not far behind is 22307 in Alexandria, where prices are up over 37% to $780,700. Sales activity there was broad-based, with both attached (up 15%) and detached (up 46%) unit sales climbing, pushing sold dollar volume up 43.5% to $90.6 million on 118 closed sales. 

Vienna's 22180 posted a gain of nearly 24%, continuing a strong run for the close-in Fairfax County suburb; detached sales, which make up the bulk of the market there, rose 13% year-over-year, and total dollar volume climbed 30% to $267 million. McLean's 22101 saw its median sold price rise almost 18% to just under $1.95 million, driven in part by a 41% jump in the average price for attached homes even as detached prices rose a more modest 4.6%.

Great Falls' 22066 rounded out the middle of the list with a 12% increase to a $1.74 million median, even as the number of homes sold there dipped nearly 7% from a year ago — a sign that fewer, pricier estate-style homes are driving the gain. 

Ballston's 22203 closed out the list, posting the most modest gain of the group at 7.8%. It was also the only zip code among the six where total sold dollar volume declined year-over-year (down 3.3%, to $73.1 million), as a 31% drop in detached home sales outweighed a slight uptick in condo and townhome activity.
