Falls Church homes I buy
“Falls Church” means two different things: the small independent city and a much larger area of Fairfax County with Falls Church mailing addresses. Taxes, permits and records differ, so I confirm which applies to your house first.
| Home type | Where | What I usually see |
|---|---|---|
| Single-family homes | Inside the City of Falls Church | Older homes, small-lot infill interest, dated systems |
| Single-family homes and ramblers | Falls Church-addressed Fairfax County neighborhoods | Original kitchens and baths, roofs and HVAC due |
| Townhouses and condos | Near Broad and Washington streets and the Metro areas | Association fees and resale packets |

Falls Church details that affect a cash sale
City or county Falls Church
The city says its primary ZIP code is 22046, with a few city properties in 22042, 22044 and 22205, and that most addresses numbered 1400 and up are outside the city. The tax bill is the reliable test.
Source: my Falls Church area guide.
Different tax rates
For fiscal 2027, the City of Falls Church base rate is $1.18 per $100 and Fairfax County’s is $1.12. Taxes are prorated at settlement, so you pay only through your closing date.
Source: my Falls Church area guide; Fairfax County FY 2027 budget release.
Probate court
A will is probated in the circuit court where the owner lived. For city homes that is the Arlington County Circuit Court, which serves the City of Falls Church; for county homes it is the Fairfax County Circuit Court.
What you skip when I buy your Falls Church house
No repairs, no showings and no commission. I pay your closing costs.
No repairs
Original 1950s wiring in a brick rambler, a cracked chimney crown, a basement that takes on water after a storm. I buy the house as it is, with no repair list.
No showings
One walkthrough, in person or by video. No open houses, no lockbox, no weekends spent staging a small house for buyers.
No cleanout
Take the pieces you want. Leave the rest in the basement, attic and detached garage, and the cleanout is mine after closing.
No commission
No commission comes out of your price. The settlement statement shows the City or county tax proration and every other line before you sign.
No inspections
I see the house once and put the offer in writing. It is not cut later over an inspector’s notes on the panel, the chimney or the sewer line.
No closing costs
I pay your closing costs. Your mortgage and any liens are paid from the proceeds; the grantor tax and congestion fee remain seller costs.
Where I buy in Falls Church
All of the City of Falls Church, around Broad and Washington streets, plus the Falls Church-addressed Fairfax County neighborhoods around it, including the Lake Barcroft and Seven Corners areas.

Falls Church prices this fall, City and county
Redfin publishes two views of Falls Church. Its City of Falls Church page covers the independent city, and its broader Falls Church page had about five times as many sales. For the three months ending October 2026:
| Redfin view | Median sale price | Median days on market | Homes sold in October | Sale-to-list |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| City of Falls Church | $831,204 (-28.7%) | 60, up from 27 | 11, down from 15 | 98.4% |
| Falls Church (broader) | $1,014,294 (+14.4%) | 50, up from 29 | 54, up from 50 | 99.6% |
With only 11 City sales in a month, the City median swings with whichever homes happened to close, so the 28.7% drop says more about the mix than about values. The clearer signal is time: in both views the median home took roughly twice as long to sell as a year ago, and on the broader page 43.4% of listings had a price cut, up 12.2 points. If you need a firm date, that is the trade a cash sale avoids.
City tax bills run on a different calendar
The City of Falls Church bills real estate tax on its July-to-June fiscal year. The first half of the fiscal 2027 bill is normally due December 5; this year that is a Saturday, and the City moves weekend due dates to the next business day. The second half is due June 5, 2027. Falls Church-addressed homes in Fairfax County follow the county’s calendar-year bills instead, due July 28 and December 7. At the City’s $1.18 rate, a home at the $831,204 City median pays about $9,808 a year. Either way, the tax is prorated to the closing day on the settlement statement.
Two charges on the deed that stay with the seller
Virginia’s grantor tax (50 cents per $500 of price) and the regional congestion relief fee (10 cents per $100) apply in both the City and Fairfax County. On the $831,204 median they come to about $1,663. They are seller costs and are not part of the closing costs I pay.

My Falls Church record, split by county code
Since 2017 I have closed 17 transaction sides with a Falls Church mailing address: 8 as the listing agent and 9 for buyers. By ZIP code, 6 were in 22042, 5 in 22041, 4 in 22046 and one each in 22043 and 22044.
Four of those sides were in ZIP 22046, the City of Falls Church ZIP code. Census Bureau boundary records place two of them inside City limits: a buyer-side purchase that closed at about $820,000 in July 2017, and a listing I shared with another agent that closed at about $880,000 in May 2018. The other two 22046 sales were listings that closed at about $660,000 in March 2017 and about $1,525,000 in June 2025. Bright MLS codes the 2025 sale as Fairfax County, because 22046 reaches past the City line. All 12 of my coded Falls Church sales carry the Fairfax County code.
Recent closings
Since 2024 I have closed 6 Falls Church sides, with a median of $1,057,500. The highest was a $1,599,000 purchase in 22042 in June 2024, where I represented the buyer, followed by my $1,525,000 listing in 22046 in June 2025. In 2026 I closed two: a $840,000 purchase in 22042 in April and my $1,275,000 listing in 22044 in August.
All were open-market sales, not cash purchases. Call or text me at 703-596-5065.

Selling a house in Falls Church: questions
Is my Falls Church house in the city or Fairfax County?
Check your tax bill. The City of Falls Church is an independent city of about 2 square miles; many homes with Falls Church mailing addresses are in Fairfax County. I confirm it before making an offer.
Do you buy older Falls Church homes that need work?
Yes. I buy as-is, from original ramblers to homes that need a roof, systems or a full renovation, and I never send a repair list.
Where is a Falls Church estate probated?
In the circuit court where the owner lived. City of Falls Church estates go through the Arlington County Circuit Court; Fairfax County estates go through the Fairfax County Circuit Court.
How fast can you close on a Falls Church house?
I can close in as little as 7 days when title is clear, or on any later date you choose. Estates, liens and HOA resale packets can add time, and you will know about any delay before you sign anything.
Do I need to clean out or repair the house first?
No. I buy as-is with no inspections. Take what you want and leave the rest; I handle the cleanout after closing, and I pay your closing costs.
