The move marks a major new chapter for one of Northern Virginia’s most visible real estate teams and social media brands.

I am excited to officially announce that the Chris Colgan Team has joined Real Brokerage.

The move brings our team of 28 real estate agents to Real and expands the company’s presence throughout Northern Virginia and the greater Washington, D.C., metropolitan area.

Our team is currently on pace to close approximately $150 million in real estate sales this year, serving buyers, sellers and investors across Fairfax, Loudoun, Prince William and Arlington counties, as well as Alexandria and the surrounding D.C. region.

This is a major milestone for our company, but it is also the beginning of our next chapter.

Northern Virginia Housing Market Update: Home Prices and Sales Rise in June 2026

Summary: According to Bright MLS’s June 2026 Washington, D.C. Metro Housing Market Report, closed sales increased 4.4% compared with June 2025, the median sold price rose 3.8% to $675,000 and active inventory increased 9%. Northern Virginia was one of the strongest parts of the region, particularly in Fairfax and Loudoun counties.

The short verdict: Buyers have more homes to choose from, but Northern Virginia is not suddenly a buyer’s market. Detached homes are still selling quickly, townhome prices are beginning to level out and condo buyers are gaining more leverage.

There is a lot of bad real estate information floating around right now.

For more than a decade, one of the most valuable pieces of waterfront land in Northern Virginia has been sitting behind fences.

Not abandoned in the middle of nowhere.

Not tucked away where nobody sees it.

Right there in Alexandria.

The old Potomac River Generating Station in Old Town North has been one of those sites almost everyone around Alexandria knows, even if they do not know the official name. A massive former coal-fired power plant. Industrial. Closed off. Sitting on the Potomac River, just north of Old Town, in a city where waterfront land is some of the most important land there is.

And now, after years of planning, debate, city review, and public meetings, Alexandria…

On March 7th, one of the biggest sports moments of 2025 is hitting the Mid-Atlantic — and it’s happening just an hour from Northern Virginia.

D.C. United is hosting Lionel Messi and Inter Miami CF at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore at 4:30 p.m., a massive move announced alongside the 2025 MLS schedule release. The matchup is expected to draw one of the largest crowds of the entire MLS season… and it’s another major sign of how the D.C. metro region — from Northern Virginia to Baltimore — is becoming a true sports and entertainment powerhouse.

This is more than a game. It’s a regional moment.

If you've been sitting on the sidelines waiting for the market to shift in your favor, I've got news for you.

The latest survey from Bright MLS reveals something we haven't seen in years: buyers are actually getting their offers accepted on the first try. They're taking their time to shop. They're negotiating again. And sellers? They're making concessions that would've been unthinkable in 2021.

But here's what nobody's talking about: this shift isn't creating a flood of new buyers. In fact, many potential buyers are more hesitant now than they were a year ago.

So what's really happening in Northern Virginia? Let me break down the numbers and show you what they mean for anyone thinking about buying or selling right now.

Alexandria Takes the Hardest Hit: What Federal Downsizing Means for Our Real Estate Market

Look, I'm not going to sugarcoat this — Alexandria is feeling the federal downsizing more than any other Northern Virginia suburb right now. A new Brookings Institution report dropped this week, and the numbers tell a story we've been watching unfold in real time.

Here's what's happening: Since January, the Trump administration has cut roughly 300,000 federal jobs nationwide. But here's the thing — while those jobs are concentrated in D.C., the people who hold them? They live here. In our neighborhoods. Over 13,000 federal workers call Alexandria home, and more than 76,000 live in Virginia's 8th Congressional District alone.

The result? Alexandria's…
