The effect of Amazon's arrival on the region continues to be felt in a variety of ways, and that includes the housing market. UrbanTurf plucked out a few numbers that illustrate the effect that the online giant continues to have on the Arlington housing market, three months after the online behemoth announced its plans to come to Northern Virginia. 

  • $558,750 -- The median home sales price in February, the highest on record for Arlington for the month of February.

  • 65% -- The increase in the number of homes that went under contract in Arlington compared to February 2018.
