I don't care one way or another whether a commission basis is fair or not.

Just numbers that I pulled quickly. I'm sure that you can find others somewhat higher or lower but for ballpark purposes as used they're roughly correct.

For 2014:
"Single Family Detached Units $557,678"
I don't recall now where I pulled the ~$100K. You can see that it's roughly correct by the nationwide median of $67K. As today, being somewhat higher around here. VA median in 1980 was $48K with NoVA typically being about double the state number. State-wide the median now is ~$250K.
