Can you give links? I'm not familiar with the neighborhood.

However, I live in this area, and I personally know a number of people who have lost their jobs with the government in the last few months. Some happen ate empty nesters and are planning to sell and move out of the area to a cheaper cost of living area. I'm wondering if these homes in this neighborhood you are talking about are the same situation

Are they in danger of being redistricted? Maybe people are preemptively bailing.

407 N Bryan, arlington va 22201
411 n bryan, arlington va 22201
2629 n washington blvd, arlington va 22201

It's literally three houses, side-by-side.

Then if you skip a couple houses, there are two more for sale. So out of 7 consecutive houses, 5 are for sale.

Yep, this sort of stuff happens all the time. I get why OP is curious, but most of the time, it's just coincidence.

My block in Potomac all homes built 1975 where homes rarely sell when I bought we had a lot of homes on my block that that sold between 2016 and 2019. I mean 1/2 the block turned over.

Nearly all orginal home owners who died or going to retirement homes. A lot of pent up sales from people who pulled homes from 2008-2015 when homes prices were low.

Guess what no sales since 2019. However, most of new homes owners including me were trade up houses and looking to get into W HS. So we mainly had kids 10-17 and new owners were 45-55. Guess what We are getting old like the folks before us. In 3-5 years my block will be empty nestors and people turning 65 one after another and we may hit another wave of sales.

Same thing happend in Avenil. Built 1991 and last 5 years all the orginal owners one by one dying or retiring. Avenil in 2017 when I looked there was petty old playgrounds and pool kinda empty. They had a lot of sales last five years in hot real estate market as folks died and retired. It is a much younger community in 2025 than it is in 2015. People dont live forever.

Have you ever gone on redfin or zillow and just looked at the map view? You can exclude condos from the map view. You'll find tons of examples of what the OP is referencing throughout the DMV.

Is it proposed as a possible waste management site? I think that’s the most logical explanation as to why everyone is leaving.
