Quick Answer: What Is a McLean Home Worth in 2026?
Last updated October 23, 2026 by Nikki Lagouros, realtor with Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices PenFed Realty
A typical McLean home is worth about $1.8 million today, but in McLean the lot often decides the price as much as the house does. Redfin's September 2026 data shows a $1,807,039 median sale price over three months, down 2.3% from a year earlier, with a median of 38 days on market and a 98.8% sale-to-list ratio. Single-family homes ran about $2,399,000, up 17%, while the price per square foot held near $437. ZIP 22101 had a $1.86 million median and 22102, with more Tysons-edge condos, about $486,000. Your number depends on the lot's size and buildability, the age of the house and which side of McLean you are on.

What Drives Home Values in McLean
Lot size, zoning and buildability
In the R-1 district the minimum lot is 36,000 square feet and density is one home per acre, so two older houses side by side cannot always become three new ones. A level, buildable lot outside a Resource Protection Area is worth more to a builder. See teardowns, large lots and backyard cottages.
Teardown or keeper
Many McLean sales are priced on land value plus whatever the house adds. A dated 1960s rambler on a strong lot can sell close to lot value, while a renovated home on the same street is priced against other finished homes. Nikki prices both ways before recommending a strategy.
Luxury tiers
On Oct. 15, 2026, 143 of McLean's 338 active and coming-soon listings were priced at $2 million or more. The $2 million to $3 million range mostly means about 6,000 square feet on a third of an acre, and $5 million and up means 10,000 square feet or more, most on an acre or more. See McLean luxury homes.
22101 or 22102
East McLean in 22101, around Langley, Chesterbrook and downtown, is mostly single-family. West McLean and the Tysons edge in 22102 mix large homes with condos near the McLean and Tysons Silver Line stations, which is why the 22102 median looks so much lower.
Trees, stormwater and approvals
New homes and additions that disturb more than 2,500 square feet need an infill lot grading plan, and the county's tree canopy rules apply. Buyers planning to build factor those costs and timelines into what they will pay for an older house.
Taxes on high assessments
McLean homes pay Fairfax County's $1.12 per $100 plus stormwater and, inside the McLean Community Center district, $0.023 per $100. On a multi-million-dollar assessment, buyers notice the annual bill.

What the numbers say: McLean single-family values are strong, with a 17% gain in the median, while the townhome and condo medians fell because fewer high-end units sold. Fewer than one in four homes sold above list, and the sale-to-list ratio below 99% shows buyers negotiating on higher-priced homes. The median peaked at about $2 million in June 2026.

McLean Home Values by Area
McLean has two ZIP codes, and they tell different stories. The 22102 median is pulled down by condos near Tysons, even though its single-family median is close to 22101's.
| Area | Median, all homes | Single-family | Townhome | Condo | Median $/sq ft |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 22101 Langley, Chesterbrook, Salona Village and downtown McLean | $1,862,000 | $2,462,000 | $1,135,000 | $1,242,000 | $459 |
| 22102 West McLean and the Tysons edge, near the McLean and Tysons Metro stations | $486,000 | $2,399,000 | $861,000 | $411,000 | $397 |
Source: Redfin ZIP code housing market data, three-month medians ending September 2026, accessed October 23, 2026. "Few sales" means fewer than five sales of that type in the period. ZIP codes cross town and county lines, so a ZIP median is a starting point, not a price for your street.

What Changed in McLean Over the Past Year
The snapshot above runs through September. Redfin's next update, for the three months ending October 2026, points the same way: a median sale price of $1,686,327, down 8.8% from a year earlier, with homes selling in a median of 41 days instead of 50 and a 98.4% sale-to-list ratio. McLean recorded 139 sales in October, compared with 160 the October before. Prices are softer than a year ago, while the typical time on market got shorter.
The Beltway Express Lanes now reach the American Legion Bridge
The 495 Express Lanes Northern Extension (495 NEXT) opened in November 2025. It added 2.5 miles of express lanes, two in each direction, from the Dulles Corridor interchange to the George Washington Memorial Parkway near the American Legion Bridge, with new ramps at the Parkway and the Dulles Toll Road. Fairfax Connector Express Route 798 between Tysons and Bethesda launched in September 2024 as part of the project, and VDOT expected the remaining work to finish in mid-2026.

What Nikki's Own McLean Sales Show
Nikki has closed seven McLean-addressed sales since 2016: six representing the buyer and one representing the seller. Six of the seven were condominium units in 22102, the Tysons-edge ZIP, and they ranged from $238,900 in 2016 to $2,100,000 in 2020. The most recent, in September 2026, was a 22102 condo she listed that sold for $1,040,000.
That spread is why the ZIP table above comes with a warning. The 22102 condo median of about $411,000 sits alongside units that sell for more than $1 million, so the ZIP median says little about any one building. For a building-by-building read on your unit or house, call Nikki at 703-596-5065.

Zestimate, Redfin Estimate or a CMA: Which McLean Number Should You Trust?
Zillow says the Zestimate's nationwide median error is 1.77% for homes on the market and 7.20% for homes that are not listed. Redfin reports 1.91% and 7.49%. "Median" means half of estimates miss by more than that. On a $1,807,000 McLean home, a 7.2% miss is about $130,104 in either direction.
Why online estimates miss in McLean: the algorithms price houses, not land, so they struggle when the lot is the main asset. They cannot tell whether a lot is buildable, whether part of it sits in a Resource Protection Area, or whether the house is a candidate for a teardown. At McLean prices, a 7% miss is more than $125,000. Custom finishes, pools and outbuildings on estate lots are also invisible to them.
A comparative market analysis (CMA) from a realtor who has walked the house fills those gaps. An appraisal is a licensed appraiser's opinion, usually ordered by the buyer's lender.
