What Alexandria sellers
should know
-
Exterior work in the old districts needs review
Alexandria's Board of Architectural Review regulates exterior changes in two local historic districts, Old and Historic Alexandria and Parker-Gray, and in buildings the city has designated as 100-year-old buildings. If you plan to replace windows, a roof or siding before listing, check first whether your house falls under the board. Buyers of homes in these districts will want to know what was approved.
-
About a fifth of the city is mapped floodplain
The city says roughly 20% of Alexandria is mapped as floodplain, from low-lying streams and the Potomac. New FEMA flood maps took effect on January 11, 2024, so a zone you remember may have changed. You can look up your address on Virginia's Flood Risk Information mapping tool before you set a price.

Selling a parent's home with tax relief on it
The city offers full or partial exemption, or deferral, of real estate taxes to owners who are 65 or older or permanently disabled, plus a full exemption for qualifying 100% disabled veterans. If you are selling a home where an older owner used this program, ask the Finance Department how the tax account stands before closing.

Frequently asked questions
How fast can you close in Alexandria?
When a cash sale is the right fit, we can close in as little as 7 days, or on the date you choose. Listing with an agent usually takes longer: Alexandria homes have recently sold in about 40 days, plus time to close.
Do you buy homes in a floodplain?
We'll look at any Alexandria home, including ones in a floodplain or with past water damage. The City of Alexandria says about 20% of the city is mapped as floodplain, and new FEMA maps took effect in January 2024, so it helps to look up your address on Virginia's Flood Risk Information tool before you talk to anyone.
What is the property tax in Alexandria?
The City of Alexandria's real estate tax rate is $1.135 per $100 of assessed value, billed in two halves due in June and November. If you're 65 or older or permanently and totally disabled, ask the City about its tax relief program for elderly and disabled persons.
