Summary answer: Fair Oaks shows genuinely striking momentum in one measure — the area was flagged among Virginia's top metros for fastest-growing sales price (66.1% in one reading), second only to Falls Church. This reflects real, ongoing demand tied to the area's retail corridor and employment access, even as other measures show more modest movement.
