Condo market in Falls Church VA The condo market in Falls Church Virginia appears to have responded to the first-time home-buyer's tax credit with a spike in activity and prices just as the tax credit ended. The market fell drastically after the credit ended, returned to levels seen just before the approach of the deadline. Interestingly, the median price of a condo in Falls Church is trending upward, but is statistically at almost the same point as it was this time last year. The number of listings in Falls Church (among all real estate offered) has gone up this month.
