Summary
A new Brookings Institution DMV Monitor report coauthored by Emilia Calma says the Washington-region housing market is weakening after repeated economic disruptions.
Housing costs remain a clear barrier to new job growth, linking the market slowdown to broader regional economic strain rather than housing alone.
The report argues local governments have an opening to help stabilize the regional economy by shaping conditions for future prosperity.
