As someone deeply involved in the Northern Virginia real estate market, I see firsthand how the need for more housing stretches across every corner of our state—urban, suburban, and rural alike. Our region may have its own character, but the challenge of meeting growing demand is something we share with Hampton Roads and beyond. Rising transportation congestion and an influx of new residents only add to the pressure. In places like Hampton Roads, it’s especially tough for families facing stagnant wages while home prices keep climbing. Expanding housing options at different price points and types would not only help ease affordability concerns, but also boost local jobs and reinforce Virginia’s reputation as a wonderful place to call home. This is a moment for all of us—policymakers, developers, and community members—to prioritize housing supply and work together for solutions that benefit everyone.
