Not letting fatigue set in, No. 6 Virginia visits old rival Maryland

A busy start hasn't slowed down No. 6 Virginia as it travels to Maryland for its first road test of the season on Friday night in College Park, Md. The contest between former conference rivals will be the fifth for the Cavaliers (4-0) and just the third for the Terrapins (1-1). Virginia has played twice since Maryland's most recent game. The Cavaliers boosted their season scoring average to 93.0 points per game with a breezy 95-61 home victory against Bucknell on Tuesday -- scoring the first 11 points, building a 22-point advantage at halftime and leading by as many as 37. Virginia finished with 12 3-pointers and 12 steals, reaching double figures in both categories for the fourth time in as many games. "We challenged our guys to be ready, and we talked a lot about how (when) people turn the TV on, or they choose to come to the game to watch us, are they going to get the same Virginia?" second-year coach Ryan Odom said after the team's fourth win in eight days. "Are they going to get Virginia in the way that we play? And I think for the most part we did (against Bucknell). That's a

Washington-area home sales plunge nearly 20% as buyers retreat

The D.C. area's home sales took a nosedive last month, according to a new report from real estate group Bright MLS . The big picture: It's more evidence that area buyers and sellers are staying on the sidelines as rates remain high and economic uncertainty prevails. By the numbers: The number of closed home sales across the Washington region dropped 19.2% in October compared to a year ago, per Bright data. New purchase contracts declined 20.4%. Showings were down 15.2%. Seller activity also slowed, with new listings dropping 6.1%. Meanwhile, active listings jumped 22.1% as buyers continued to watch and wait. And while the median sale price remained relatively stable — $625,000 — it did drop 0.8%, marking the first year-over-year decline in over three years. What they're saying: "Buyers are holding back this fall with rates above 7%," said Bright MLS chief economist Lisa Sturtevant in a release. "Higher-income buyers and cash buyers are still in the market, but it has gotten very difficult for first-time and moderate-income buyers." Yes, but: While buyer activity dropped across all of Washington's jurisdictions, D.C.'s median sale price still saw an increase (3.6%), along with several other markets including Fairfax city (6.2%) and
