Are you wondering about Northern Virginia real estate and pondering what has sold recently?

Here's some information about the most expensive home sales in Northern Virginia (Arlington County, Alexandria City, Fairfax City, Fairfax County, and Falls Church City) for October 2008.  All information was obtained through MRIS.

Overall, there were 53 sales topping $1 million during the month of October 2008 (10 more than in September 2008).  It appears that despite the financial crisis, there are still plenty of people in the D.C. metropolitan area with money to purchase their dream homes.
