There were 22 properties that went from pending to sold this week in Reston. With 243 properties for sale at here, we’re still only carrying about 2.5 months of housing inventory.
While these numbers would indicate a “Seller’s Market,” the behavior of the buyers is still sluggish for many types of properties. If you have a well-priced single family home with a 4 bedrooms and 3.5 baths you’ll probably be sporting a sold sign before you know it. Other types of property might take a little more patience.
Here are a few of the properties that sold this week.
- 11809 Triple Crown Road. Listed at $875,000; Sold at $875,000
- 1599 Stowe Road. Listed at $819,000; Sold at $810,000
- 11967 Heathcote Court. Listed at $399,900; Sold at $398,000 ($10,000 to buyer in closing cost)

In the last week, 48 New listings were added to the market. This brings the total number of homes for sale to 248.
Only 18 properties went from Active to Pending status. Prices have begun to rise, which will cool the market as affordability becomes an issue for some buyers.
Here are a few of the new listings for this week:
2058 Lake Audubon Ct. 3BR, 3.5 Baths $695,000
11990 Market St. #2111 2BR, 3 Baths $1,499,999

Condo living in Reston is as good as it gets, and Edgewater Cluster is a great example. Located at the intersection of Baron Cameron and Town Center Parkway, these condos offer easy access to major roads, shopping, and entertainment.
Built in the mid-90s, this low-rise condominium complex features primarily two-bedroom units with 1 ½ or 2 baths. The complex is divided into smaller clusters for a community feel.
Many of the units face the large pond, and all are in walking distance of Reston Town Center, Trader Joe’s, and Harris Teeter, as well as Reston Hospital Center and the Reston Regional Library.
The community is in between the Fairfax County Parkway and Reston Parkway, providing easy access to any place you need to go — the Dulles Toll Road and Route 7 are within a few miles.
If you want access to all the Reston Town Center has to offer, Edgewater Cluster is a great value.

This week in Reston, 14 properties went from a Pending status to Sold. This is the second week in a row that the additions to inventory have been slightly more than double the number of properties that successfully settled. This is reflective of the slower May that Reston real estate agents were reporting.
When looking at the number of properties that went from Active to Pending over the last 30 days, the activity is strong but we’ll have to see how that plays out as those homes move through the sales process, there are lots of things that can go wrong between Pending and Sold.
Here are few of the properties that sold this past week:
12025 New Dominion Parkway #G-118. Listed $899,900. Sold $860,000.
1329 Dasher Lane. Listed $880,000, Sold $870,000.
2018 Upper Lake Drive. Listed $785,000. Sold $773,000.
11700 Great Owl Circle. Listed $595,000. Sold $610,000.
1920 Crescent Park Drive. Listed $535,000. Sold $531,000.
1713 Whisperhill Drive. Listed $324,900. Sold $325,000.

In my most recent Just Listed column, I had said that we were adding new listings at about the same rate they were going under contract. I would like to amend that now and just say what a lot of agents have been feeling for the past couple of weeks — the market has slowed a bit.
Only 15 properties went from a pending to sold status last week. That is down by about 50 percent from the week prior. In Reston, that’s not a catastrophe but it is something to be aware of as you think about buying and selling over the summer.
For buyers, it may signal that you can be a little more aggressive in your offers. For sellers, it may mean that this is not the time to push the market in terms of pricing. Here are a few that sold this past week.
- 11604 QUAIL RIDGE CT. Listed at $849,000. Sold at $840,000
- 12160 ABINGTON HALL PL #201. Listed at $425,000. Sold at $425,000
- 2225 GUNSMITH SQ. Listed at $389,900, Sold at $385,000
- 2283 HUNTERS RUN DR. Listed at $319,900. Sold at $308,000
As always, if you maintain awareness of the real market for your home and price it there, you will be rewarded with a quick sale at a great price.

We continue to stay even adding new houses to the market at about the same pace that they are going under contract. Thirty-five new properties were added this week with a total inventory of approximately 240.
The market does have a decidedly slower feel to it unless you happen to be selling a certain type of property — the classic “family” home for less than $675,000, in which case you’ll likely get multiple offers!
Here are a few of the new listings for this week.
11400 WASHINGTON PLZ W #405, 0BR 1 Bath Studio $185,000
2026 BEACON PL, 3BR 4.5 Baths $925,000
11441 WASHINGTON PL W, 3BR 2.5 Baths $585,000

One of the many benefits of living in Reston is having access to the 15 Reston Association Pools in our community. (Even if you aren’t an RA member, you can still get a pass to the RA pools.)
Like most amenities in Reston, the pools were situated throughout Reston with the idea that people could walk to their neighborhood pool — and they do. Every pool features lap lanes, areas to splash around, and plenty of lounge chairs.
But over the years, each pool has developed it’s own personality and attracts people for different reasons. Here’s a lowdown on what each pool offers so you can plan your day in the sun (or shade).
For children of all ages
- Autumwood (11950 Walnut Branch Road, North Reston)
This pool’s large wading area with a fountain is great for toddlers. There is also a covered picnic area and playground nearby. - Glade (11550 Glade Drive, South Reston)
With a 20-foot slide, this pool is a favorite for kids of all ages! Parents can relax in the spa while the kids are sliding or diving off the one-meter diving board. There is also a wading pool for the little ones - Hunters Woods (2501 Reston Parkway, South Reston)
This pool features separate water basketball and volleyball areas, a diving board, and children’s splash area. For the parents, there is a large spa. The pool also features an ADA ramp into main pool. - North Hills (1325 North Village Road, North Reston)
This pool features two shallow play areas, one of which has a fountain. For family day at the pool, there are also picnic tables, a grass beach area, and a picnic pavilion with grills. And don’t forget the spa. - North Shore (11515 North Shore Drive, North Reston)
This heated pool is a family favorite. It opens early in the season and is the last pool to close in September. The pool features a spa, wading pool, ADA ramp to the pool deck, ADA hydrolift chair into the main pool, and shaded upper deck with picnic tables. - Shadowood (2201 Springwood Drive, South Reston)
This is a smaller and quieter pool than Glade, but feature a small slide for the kids. There is also a wading pool and small picnic area. - Uplands (11032 Ring Road, North Reston)
This is the premier pool for families with toddlers. The zero-depth children’s pool (0-3 feet deep) has interactive fountains, a cold-water spa, and an interactive sand pit. The pool also has an ADA in-water wheelchair.
For serious swimmers
- Lake Newport (11601 Lake Newport Road, North Reston)
This is Reston’s only 50-meter pool and is a favorite for serious swimmers. There is also a sand volleyball area, and two one-meter diving boards, a wading pool, and a covered picnic area with grills.
For sun worshippers
With plenty of sunny spots, these pools are great if you want to get some serious rays.
- Dogwood (2460 Green Range Road, South Reston)
- Golf Course Island (11301 Links Drive, North Reston). There is also a large playground with grills next to the pool — perfect for summer parties.
- Lake Audubon (2070 Twin Branches Road, South Reston). In addition to your pool amenities, there is a boat ramp to Lake Audubon nearby if you want to take out your canoe or sunfish.
For shade seekers
If you want to spend the day at the pool without spending a day in the sun, these pools are perfect for you.
- Lake Thoreau (2040 Upper Lake Drive, South Reston)
- Newbridge (11758 Golf Course Square, South Reston)
- Ridge Heights (11400 Ridge Heights Road, South Reston). This pool is heated. It opens early in the season and is one of the last pools to close.

- Lake Thoreau

There were 31 properties sold this week in Reston.
In my Just Listed column last week, I mentioned that we were adding properties at about the same rate as we were selling them.
The current inventory of home is 242 — at the rate those home are being sold we currently have about a two-month supply. This is still a very strong seller’s market, although the slowing increasing days on market does indicate that things aren’t quite as fast as they were a few months ago.
The exception to this would be in the single family homes priced in the mid-$500K to mid-$600K range, where they continue to move very fast.
Here are some of the properties that sold in Reston this week:
11990 MARKET ST. #312. List Price: $749,900. Sold Price: $740,000.
1210 WOODBROOK CT. List Price: $650,000. Sold Price: $640,000.
12368 BROWN FOX WAY. List Price: $640,000. Sold Price: $641,500.
1542 MOORINGS DR #1C. List Price: $280,000. Sold Price: $280,000.
11768 BAYFIELD CT. List Price: $374,500. Sold Price $370,000.

Total property inventory is holding steady in the 225 range. A big improvement over the very constrained numbers we’d been seeing over the past year.
The momentary lull that many agents, myself included were talking about last week seems to be over with more showings and properties going under contract this past week. This week we added 30 new properties for sale. The new listings are almost equal to the number of properties going under contract.
Here are a few of the new listings for this week.
11739D SUMMERCHASE CIR #1739-D 1BR, 1 Bath $204,000
1666 PARKCREST CIR #200 2BR, 1Bath $230,000
1978A VILLARIDGE DR #1978A 2BR 1 Bath $275,000
2151 POND VIEW CT 4BR, 3.5 Bath $430,000

Lovely Lake Audubon is one of Reston’s gems. The South Reston homes built around Lake Audubon are worth a look if you love lakeside living. Lake Audubon Terrace is a good neighborhood to start — about half of the townhomes are direct lakefront property.
These three-level townhomes have three- and four-bedroom models that feature brick and siding. Some of the units have one-car garages, and all have two assigned parking spaces (with plenty of visitor parking available).
The cluster, located on Thrush Ridge Road and Glade Court, was built between 1983 and 1988.
Residents have lake access, complete with a private dock. It is in close proximity to one of Reston’s premier hiking trails, the Turquoise Trail. The Walker Nature Education Center is just down the street. You are just minutes away from nature and all that the Reston Association trails have to offer.
Cluster residents attend Reston’s Sunrise Valley Elementary, Langston Hughes Middle and South Lakes High schools. South Lakes Village Center, with its Safeway store and restaurants, is an easy walk.

I’ve had several calls from agents this past week or so all asking the same question — “Does the market seem quiet?”
We almost whisper this question, as if saying it too loud will somehow make it true. I have to admit to engaging in some of this worry myself. It has been quieter the past few weeks, but when you look at the numbers it’s clear that the market is still very active.
There are 230 properties that are fully active, and 47 new listings. This represents a little more than a 2 month supply of houses in our market, which still translates to a competitive market.
Here are a few of the newly listed properties.
1647 FIELDTHORN DR 2BR 2 Baths $347,500
1402 BELCASTLE CT 4BR 3.5 Baths $925,000
11613 SOURWOOD LN 4BR 3.5 Baths $774,000
