Washington housing in an election year!

It happens every four years. Home buyers, sellers, and of course Realtors hold their breath. What will be the impact of the Presidential election on real estate?

 

This year is very different. We know there will be a new President. And it looks like there could be coat-tails -- whoever wins the White House, will likely take Senators and Representatives into power with him or her.

 

Already there is homebuying activity in the close-in suburbs, near Federal agencies and Capital Hill. The assumption is, if you can buy before the election, don't wait. There will likely be lots of buyers competing for homes after November 7. All the doom and gloom talk? Forget it. I will email you statistics to prove it.

 

  • Lots of activity in the Suburbia too! National Harbor just opened on the banks of the Potomac River in PG County. 
  • BRAC is short for Base Realignment and Closure. Fort Belvoir is expanding. Government agencies are relocating out of Arlington and some Maryland suburbs to Belvoir. For more information on BRAC click here.
  • Biotech companies are growing in Maryland's I-270 Corridor. The Food and Drug Administration in Rockville is hiring 1,600 new people. For more info on bio-tech in Montgomery County click here.
  • The extension of Metro to Reston Town Center and Dulles has finally gotten Federal funding. Construction is underway. For more info on Metro to Dulles, click here.
  • Volkswagen of America is moving their North American headquarters to Herndon, Virginia. To read a Washington Post article about the move, click here.
