What We're Hearing

Affordable Housing: “A variety of new pathways for redevelopment projects in Arlington and around Virginia are poised to open up following the passage of numerous housing-related bills. On the way to Gov. Abigail Spanberger (D) are bills that would allow localities to make an administrative approval process for affordable housing and eliminate rezoning requirements for churches that develop affordable housing on their properties.” (ARLnow) 

Mortgage Rates: “Mortgage rates hit their highest point in five months, and mortgage applications plunged last week as escalating borrowing costs cast a heavier pall over the housing market.” (Axios)
