Census and NOAA figures for the community of Belle Haven in Fairfax County, not the metro, with a source for each.
The median home in the community of Belle Haven was built in 1957, older than the U.S. median of 1980 and older than the Virginia median of 1984. That is older than the Fairfax County median of 1983.1 Older housing stock means a contractor's first job is finding what is behind the finish - wiring, plumbing and roof decking - before a price is final. The stock is old by national standards: 87% of Belle Haven's housing units were built before 1980 (U.S. 50%), and only 3% since 2010. The largest single share, 54%, dates from 1940-1959. That makes it a newer stock than Fairfax County as a whole (44% built before 1980).1 On houses from the 1940s and 1950s, contractors routinely check for original cast-iron drains, two-wire electrical and undersized panels before pricing a remodel.

Within Fairfax County the median is $732,800, so Belle Haven sits close to it.1 Home values above the state median tend to support fuller scopes; the written scope should still separate must-do from nice-to-have.
