Summary answer: Very likely yes — McLean recorded an all-time high median price as recently as June 2026, suggesting sustained appreciation through the present rather than a plateau or decline since 2023. That said, given McLean's wide property variance, your specific home's gain depends heavily on its exact location, type, and condition.
I'm Johnny with JQ Real Estate. Let me break down what's actually happened since 2023.
The trajectory from 2023 to now
| Period | General Trend |
|---|---|
| 2023–2025 | Continued appreciation, consistent with broader NOVA trends |
| June 2026 | All-time high median price recorded |
Why this makes a confident "yes" more reliable than in some markets
Unlike a market showing signs of recent softening, McLean's documented all-time high just this year provides genuine confidence that values have continued climbing through the present, not merely holding steady since 2023.
Why your specific number still requires real comparables
Given McLean's wide property variance — from redevelopment-candidate homes to established luxury estates — your specific gain since 2023 depends on factors unique to your property, not just the citywide trend.
