539 Reston sales: what my own record shows
Reston is where I live and where most of my business is. I am #1 in Reston by volume and units sold, and my Bright MLS records show 539 Reston transaction sides since 2016: 229 representing the seller and 310 representing the buyer.
The work is spread evenly across the three Reston ZIP codes: 192 sides in 20191, 181 in 20190 and 166 in 20194. Since 2018 I have closed at least 36 Reston sides every year, with a high of 80 in 2020.
In 2026 so far I have closed 49 Reston sides, 39 of them as the listing agent, at a median price of $790,000. They ranged from $227,500 to $1,410,222. Those were open-market sales, not cash purchases, but they are why I usually know the recent sales on a Reston street, from a Lake Anne cluster to a Glade single-family home, before I walk in.

Reston this fall: prices up, the RA assessment set for 2027
For the three months ending October 2026, Redfin puts the Reston median sale price at $629,562, up 4.9% from a year earlier. Homes took a median of 39 days to sell, up from 35, and 233 sold in October compared with 275 a year before. Prices are holding; buyers are taking a few more days and there are fewer of them.
Reston Association: $900 in 2027
The Reston Association board adopted its 2027 budget on October 22, 2026, raising the annual member assessment to $900, up $10 (about 1%) from $890. That follows a 5% increase for 2026, from $848. RA staff’s five-year forecast, presented in October, projected $954 for 2028 before any further savings.
For a seller, the assessment is normally one more line prorated at settlement, next to the cluster or condo fee and the Fairfax County tax. If you sell early in 2027 after paying the full year, the unused part of the year is usually credited back to you on the settlement statement.

Reston homes I buy
Robert E. Simon launched Reston in 1964 on land he bought in 1961. Nearly every home belongs to Reston Association, and most also belong to a cluster or condominium association. That layered structure is the biggest thing that sets a Reston sale apart. More background: Reston Association neighborhoods.
| Home type | Where | What I usually see |
|---|---|---|
| 1960s and 1970s cluster townhouses | Lake Anne, Hickory, Tall Oaks and other early clusters | Original or modernist designs, flat roofs, dated systems, cluster exterior rules |
| Single-family homes | North Reston, South Lakes and the Glade | Roofs, decks and HVAC due, RA exterior items, downsizing |
| Condos | Near Reston Town Center and the two Silver Line stations | Condo fees and special assessments, relocation |
| Later townhouse clusters | 1980s and 1990s communities across Reston | Dated interiors, cluster reserves and assessments |
Reston details that affect a cash sale
Reston Association and your cluster
RA’s 2026 assessment is $890 a year, and most homes also pay a cluster or condo fee. At resale, RA and your cluster each issue disclosure documents, and RA may note exterior items that do not match approved standards. In a normal sale you would fix them before closing. When I buy, open items are handled in the offer, and I take care of them afterward. See Reston Association fees and rules.
Exterior approvals
Because most exterior changes, from paint colors to tree removal, need RA approval first, repairs take longer in Reston than elsewhere. Selling as-is skips that wait.
Taxes
Reston is unincorporated Fairfax County, so there is no town tax: $1.12 per $100 for FY 2027, plus any special district levy that appears on your bill, all prorated at settlement.
Silver Line condos
Condos near Wiehle-Reston East and Reston Town Center can carry special assessments for building systems. They show up in the resale certificate and are accounted for in my offer.
What you skip when I buy your Reston house
No repairs
A leaking flat roof on a Lake Anne townhouse, original windows in a 1970s cluster, a North Reston deck past its life. I buy the house as it stands today and never send you a repair list.
No showings
One walkthrough, in person or by video. No open houses, no lockbox, and no weekend tours squeezing into your cluster’s visitor parking.
No cleanout
Take what you want and leave the rest, from the storage shed to the boxes in the attic. I handle the cleanout after closing.
No commission
You pay no commission when you sell to me. The settlement statement shows every line, including the Reston Association and cluster prorations, before you sign.
No inspections
I see the house once and make a written offer. It is not renegotiated over items a home inspector would find or over exterior items listed in the RA disclosure packet.
No closing costs
I pay your closing costs. Your mortgage, any liens and any unpaid RA or cluster dues are paid off from the sale proceeds at settlement.
Where I buy in Reston
All of Reston: Lake Anne, Hunters Woods, Tall Oaks, South Lakes, the Glade, North Reston, Reston Town Center, Wiehle-Reston East and every cluster and condo community. I also buy next door in Herndon, Oak Hill and Sterling.

Selling a house in Reston: questions
Reston Association flagged items on my house. Do I have to fix them before selling to you?
No. Open RA or cluster items are handled in my offer, and I take care of them after closing.
What does Reston Association cost?
The 2026 RA assessment is $890 a year, and most homes also pay a separate cluster or condominium fee. Both are prorated at settlement.
Do you buy 1960s Lake Anne and early cluster townhouses?
Yes. Original modernist designs with flat roofs and dated systems are a normal part of what I buy.
Is Reston its own town?
No. Reston is a planned community in unincorporated Fairfax County. You pay county taxes, not a town tax.
Can you buy my Reston condo near the Silver Line if there’s a special assessment?
Yes. The assessment appears in the resale certificate and is accounted for in my offer, so you do not pay it first.
Will the offer change after I accept?
Not unless something material and undisclosed turns up, such as an unknown lien, a title problem or hidden structural damage. My offer is made after I have seen the house, so the things you would expect a buyer to find are already priced in. If anything changes, I explain it in writing with the reason, and you are free to walk away.
What does it cost me to sell to you?
No commission and no closing costs; I pay those. What comes out of the proceeds is what you already owe on the house: your mortgage payoff, any liens, and prorated property taxes or HOA dues. The settlement statement lists every line before you sign.
How fast can we close, and can I choose a later date?
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.
Should I have my own realtor or attorney look at your offer?
I recommend it. Because I am the buyer, I cannot advise you on whether to accept. Your own realtor or attorney can review the contract and the numbers at your cost, and I am glad to answer their questions.
