&lt;p&gt;Mike&#039;s at the O&#039;Reilly MoneyTech Conference in NYC. (Shhh - don&#039;t tell him that I know where he hides the key to the Altos Research blog!  And I get to be the first to use our new &amp;quot;intermediate&amp;quot; size AltosChart!)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p /&gt;&lt;p&gt;I came across &lt;a target=&quot;_blank&quot; href=&quot;http://realtytimes.com/rtpages/20080206_hotmarket.htm&quot;&gt;an article from Realty Times&lt;/a&gt; about the Arlington, VA market heating up over the last couple of months.  We certainly saw this coming - both from the conversations with local agents and brokers, but also from the market data we&#039;ve been collecting.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Overall, we&#039;ve seen strengthen in the Northern Virginia market throughout 2007 and into 2008.  Comparing median prices in Arlington, Alexandria, and Vienna since mid-2007 shows all three towns avoided the dip felt by many other real estate markets across the country.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://charts.altosresearch.com/AltosCharts/VA,VA,VA/ARLINGTON,ALEXANDRIA,VIENNA/a,a,a/median_price/a/a/i/d/sf/5624691.png&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p /&gt;&lt;p /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Examining the Arlington real estate market in more detail, we also see strength across the board.  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://charts.altosresearch.com/AltosCharts/VA,VA,VA,VA/ARLINGTON,ARLINGTON,ARLINGTON,ARLINGTON/22201,22204,22206,22207/median_price/A/a/i/e/sf/5624691.png&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p /&gt;&lt;p&gt;22201 - Rosslyn area&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;22207 - Includes the Washington Golf &amp;amp; Country Club&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;22206 - The southern end of Arlington, including the Army Navy Country Club and bordering Alexandria&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;22204 - Between Rosslyn and 22206, including Glencarlyn Park.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style=&quot;background-color: rgb(250, 255, 255);&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No surprise to us to hear that Arlington, VA is a strong market!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p /&gt;
