        <Name>Northern Virginia Real Estate -- What Can You Buy for $1 Million?</Name>
        <Summary>A Sampling of Million Dollar Homes in Northern Virginia</Summary>
        <Description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;ONE MILLION DOLLARS!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;It used to be the Holy Grail of &lt;a href="http://www.blockrealestategroup.com/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;font color="#0000ff"&gt;real estate in Northern Virginia&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt; However, with the price appreciation that the Northern Virginia region experienced over the last several years, the inventory of million dollar homes is quite plentiful.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;In fact, combining the inventory of Alexandria, Arlington, Fairfax County, and Falls Church, there are currently 866 single-family homes on the market for over $1 million, representing 21% of all available single family homes for sale.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Are homes selling in the million dollar price range?&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;strong&gt;Yes, they are&lt;/strong&gt;.&amp;nbsp; This year to date, 1003 homes have sold throughout Alexandria, Arlington, Fairfax and Falls Church for over $1 million.&amp;nbsp; Sales have slowed a bit and there have only been 54 million-dollar plus sales for the month of November 2007.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;When people consider relocating to&lt;a href="http://www.brianblock.com/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;font color="#0000ff"&gt; Northern Virginia&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/a&gt; they often ask what type of home they can purchase in different price ranges.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt; Other people who ask about this include current D.C. and Northern Virginia residents who have not been in the housing market for a while and potential investors from other parts of the country.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Here are some examples of single family homes that you can purchase in Northern Virginia for right around $1,000,000.&amp;nbsp; There are still some wonderful homes in this price range. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;strong&gt;ALEXANDRIA&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img title="Alexandria Million Dollar Home" height="142" alt="Alexandria Million Dollar Home" src="http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/2/0/3/6/5/ar119639321056302.jpg" width="219" align="right" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Comprising 5 bedrooms, 4.5 bathrooms, this Alexandria home was built in 2000 &lt;/strong&gt;and features a huge fenced half acre, a family room with cathedral ceiling and stone fireplace.&amp;nbsp;
