Located just minutes from D.C., Arlington, Virginia is an urban city directly across the Potomac River and affords the best views of Washington. Strategically located outside Washington DC., it is both a residential community and an employment centre. Major employers within Arlington include Verizon, MCI-Worldcom, US Air, Marriot, Eastman Kodak, Macy's, Xerox, Nordstrom, Hyatt and many more. Due to the increase in the housing inventory which is as a result of the distress in the mortgage industry that has resulted in shortsales and foreclosures for numerous homeowners, the real estate market in Arlington, following the trend in the rest of the DC metro area, continues to exhibit a large degree of uncertainty. Consequently, buyers, including those with good credits and therefore have obtained approval for attractive loans, are being very cautious in proceeding with purchasing homes. According to Vice President of NAR Research, the uncertainty is created by a situation in which on the one hand a sizable pent-up demand exists as a result of 4 million job gains in the past two years and on the other hand buyers waiting and hoping for lower prices and lower interest rates. The effect of this is a forecast that has become increasingly uncertain. However, one certainty for those who acquire real estate, especially for non-flipping purposes for five or more years is a near guarantee that they will come out ahead.
