Summary answer: Selling a rental property in Tysons follows the standard process, but given the market's genuine current softening (down 5.7-14.5% YoY in several measures), it's worth carefully comparing continued rental income — Tysons' genuine appeal to relocating professionals supports steady demand around $3,500/month — against selling into today's softer pricing.

| Decision | What to Consider |
|---|---|
| Tenant status | Occupied sales narrow your buyer pool toward investors |
| Tax treatment | No primary-residence capital gains exclusion on investment property |
