D.C. Developers Doubt Janeese Lewis George's 72,000-Home Pledge Can Survive the Market

Mayor-elect Janeese Lewis George campaigned on protecting tenants and getting 72,000 homes built across Washington, D.C. within five years, but as she prepares to take office in January, the developers who would actually build that housing are skeptical the number adds up. The District's development market has slowed sharply amid federal job losses, unpaid rent, regulatory hurdles and high financing costs, and many in the industry say Lewis George's early promises of denser zoning and faster permitting, however welcome, won't be enough to turn things around.

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
