💨 Abstract

The article discusses a traffic alert in Arlington, George Washington Pkwy, near VA-27/Washington Blvd, with all lanes blocked due to emergency work. It quickly moved on to highlight the rising mortgage rates, which have increased to 6.75% for 30-year loans and 5.92% for 15-year loans. This hike in rates, coinciding with high home prices, has led to a ongoing sales slump in the U.S
