🏘️ FUN FACT FRIDAY
In 1946, Alexandria's Old Town became the THIRD officially designated historic district in the entire United States.

Third. In the whole country.

That's why those cobblestone streets and centuries-old rowhouses still feel the way they do today. 🏡

The Fed is raising the Fed Funds Rate to cool inflation, and that can keep upward pressure on mortgage rates for a while. But you can still make a move that works for you.

It just takes the right strategy.

Buyers need to know their real budget at today's rates. Sellers need a price and plan that fits what buyers can afford right now.

Relief on rates could take some time. If you're thinking about a move, let's put together a game plan built for today's rates, so you'll know your next step.

⚾ ON THIS DAY IN HISTORY
October 8, 1956 | Don Larsen threw the only perfect game in World Series history. 27 batters up, 27 down. Never been matched since.

Some records just don't get broken.

Kind of like finding the perfect house — you know it when you see it. 🏡

Myth vs. Reality: Does the Fed Control Mortgage Rates?

The Fed doesn’t set mortgage rates, but its hikes can keep them higher for a while. The goal is to bring inflation, and eventually rates, down over time. With more hikes likely this year, waiting may not pay off. So, let's map out a plan that works at today's rates.

Leaves fall fast in Northern VA. Cleaning gutters now prevents clogs that can lead to roof damage, foundation issues, and ice dams later in the season.

Some of you are scared home prices are about to crash. Others are hoping they will. But will it happen?

Fannie Mae just asked over 100 housing experts where prices are headed through 2030. And the consensus is prices are expected to rise, not crash.

Even the most pessimistic experts still forecast prices will go up 6.6%.

So, whether you're bracing for a crash or hoping for one, the forecast is clear. While some markets may see small short-term declines, home prices are going to keep going up nationally.

Have questions about what this means for your move, or what’s happening locally? Let's chat.

🏛️ FUN FACT FRIDAY
Before it was Fairfax City, it was called... Providence. Seriously.

The little courthouse town got its start as the Town of Providence, and didn't officially become "Fairfax" until 1874.

Kind of like a home before its first renovation, same great bones, brand new identity. 🏡

👇 What's a local name or landmark that surprised you when you learned its history?
