Arlington: Selling a Home After Divorce
Arlington offers river-to-beach convenience, established neighborhoods, and quick access to downtown. If you’re navigating a divorce, decisions about whether to refinance or sell can feel overwhelming — especially with timing, equity, and paperwork in the mix. Here’s how BK Realty helps Arlington homeowners move forward with clarity.
How BK Realty Helps
We provide a free, court-friendly Broker Price Opinion (BPO) to establish value for buy-outs or sale decisions, walk you through refinance vs. purchase market dynamics, and manage the transaction timeline so both parties stay informed with minimal conflict. Our brokerage has never charged a buyer a commission in 20+ years, and our process is built for transparency and low pressure.
Why Arlington’s Updates Matter to Your Plan
Regency Square → The Nexus at Regency
- Regency Square Mall has been sold to Blackwater Development and renamed The Nexus at Regency.
- The mall interior closed June 1, 2025; select exterior tenants (Impact Church, Dillard’s Clearance, former Sears) continue operating.
- Plans call for demolishing most of the existing mall and building a mixed-use hub with housing and retail; Thomas Duke Architect is leading design.
What it means for you: A project this size can shift buyer interest and affect comparable sales nearby. We incorporate these redevelopment trends into your BPO analysis and pricing plan.
Arlington Expressway Redevelopment
- Older office buildings along the corridor are being converted to residential, including the former FBI HQ and Offshore Power Systems offices.
- Zoning approvals allow for up to ~659 multifamily units across the campus, with planned amenities like dog areas and pickleball courts.
- Mix of market-rate and workforce housing will gradually reshape demand and neighborhood perception.
What it means for timing: Depending on your situation, it may be smarter to list now (ahead of noise) or wait for a milestone. We’ll model both scenarios.
Buy-Out or Sell? We Break Down the Options
- Buy-Out / Refinance: We compare the estimated refi payment to a realistic post-sale purchase plan, modeling closing costs, likely repair asks, and credits so you can agree on a workable path.
- List & Sell: We create a neutral, documentation-rich listing package: a pricing narrative tailored to Arlington micro-pockets (Regency / Arlington Hills / Ft. Caroline), a repairs-vs-as-is decision tree, and an update cadence so both sides see the same information at the same time.
Quick Facts
- Convenient to downtown, JU, and the Beaches via the Matthews Bridge and Wonderwood.
- Mix of 1950s–1970s ranches and newer infill; some HOA pockets near the river and Ft. Caroline.
- Large-scale plans at The Nexus at Regency and office-to-residential conversions along Arlington Expressway are reshaping demand.
