Up, Up, and Away: Everything Housers Need to Know About Inflation
June 27 @ 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm
You’ve heard it before, You’re hearing it now: Inflation.
It’s a word that we’re all familiar with, but how much do you really know about it?
Inflation gets thrown around a lot as we talk about the cost of living in America. But now more than ever, inflation is being tied to the affordable housing challenges we continue to face. In this webinar, we’ll learn from experts from the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond about what exactly inflation is and how housing plays a role in influencing inflation. Then we’ll hear from Virginia Housing about how they design tools to lessen the impacts of inflation on homebuyers.
