Summary answer: Given the City of Falls Church's genuinely high price point and sophisticated buyer pool, I'd recommend a pre-listing inspection more strongly here than in most markets — it lets you address issues on your own schedule rather than risk a deal falling through over a surprise at this dollar amount.
