I thought the county will be removing a bunch of houses to widen 66 and that first house looks like it will be right next to the new border.. I don't know what area got approved but this was a year ago, I do believe 66 will be widened - no choice.

I believe this is why there are so many sales in this area, yes. I don't think that means the home is necessarily slated for demo, but it will be closer to the highway than it is now, and there will be construction noise and hassle.

The other issue for OP to consider is that most of the homes in your price range in Vienna - you will be competing against builders who may want to tear down the home and build new. Activity has slowed down, but wanted you to be aware that a lot of those houses expect a builder and not someone who wants to live in them.
