The housing market in Washington, D.C. is facing a brutal downturn in 2025 as massive layoffs ripple through the city’s workforce. Once a booming real estate hub fueled by government contracts, tech jobs, and political stability, the nation’s capital is now seeing a surge in foreclosures, falling home prices, and a record number of listings sitting unsold.
Thousands of workers in the federal government, defense contractors, tech startups, and law firms have been laid off in recent months — leading to a wave of mortgage defaults and panic selling across the metro area. From Capitol Hill to the suburbs of Arlington, Alexandria, and Silver Spring, the real estate crash is unfolding faster than anyone predicted.
This video breaks down exactly what’s happening in the D.C. housing market, what triggered the layoffs, and how rising interest rates, inflation, and a slowing economy are combining to create a perfect storm. Real estate agents are warning of a buyer’s market, but buyers are backing off, waiting for prices to fall further. Meanwhile, homeowners who bought during the peak are now underwater, and renters are facing steep price hikes as landlords try to recover losses.
