OVERVIEW

There has been a lot of news recently about rising prices. Home prices and rents have been rising quickly, but the prices of just about everything—from food to gas to travel—are also higher now than they were a year ago. Is the relatively high level of inflation we are currently seeing temporary? Or will higher prices be with us for the long-term? Join our By the Numbers webinar featuring Virginia REALTORS® Chief Economist to hear about the latest on inflation rates and to receive an explanation of the causes of higher prices. In addition, get as well as an analysis of how higher inflation could impact the housing market and YOUR business.
