🍦 A Sweet Discovery at the McLean Farmers Market!

This morning I stopped by the McLean Farmers Market, which has just opened for the season at the corner of Fleetwood Road and Elm Street in the heart of McLean, and discovered a local gem - Tysons Creamery! .creamery

Founded by award-winning ice cream maker Catherine Ahearn, Tysons Creamery is known for its handcrafted super-premium ice cream made with fresh ingredients and no artificial colors or flavors. Their creative flavors and small-batch approach make every scoop feel like a special treat. (Tysons Creamery)

I had the pleasure of meeting the team today and learning more about their passion for creating unique, delicious ice cream right here in Northern Virginia. They also offer catering for parties, weddings, corporate events, and community gatherings. (Tysons Creamery)

If you’re visiting the McLean Farmers Market this season, be sure to stop by and give them a try. Support local businesses!

Think housing prices are high because of interest rates?

That’s only part of the story.

Fairfax County is facing a housing shortage that has been building for years.

📍 Here are some surprising facts:

• Fairfax County needs approximately 40,000 new homes over the next 9 years.

• Since 2013, Fairfax added about 50,000 jobs but only 22,000 homes.

• Many young professionals are leaving the area because they cannot afford to buy where they work.

• Only about 13% of newly built homes in recent years have been affordable for the average family.

• The median home price is now around $770,000.

• Rental costs have increased approximately 40% since 2015.

The reality is that housing affordability is not just a Fairfax problem.

It is a regional and statewide challenge that affects buyers, sellers, renters, employers, teachers, nurses, first responders, and local businesses.

What does this mean for you?

✅ Buyers need a strategy and preparation.

✅ Sellers still benefit from limited inventory.

✅ Investors should pay close attention to long-term demand.

The market has changed, but opportunities still exist for people who understand what’s happening.

If you’re thinking about buying, selling, investing, or simply want to understand today’s market better, I’d be happy to help.
