Are you thinking of buying your first home? Or looking to rent in the area? Then mark your calendar for the 15th annual Northern Virginia Housing Expo.
The free event is scheduled for Saturday, April 12, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. It will be held at Meridian High School in Falls Church, next to the West Falls Church Metro station.
Exhibitors, lenders, and realtors will be on hand to speak specifically about home ownership and renting in the city of Alexandria, Arlington County, Fairfax County, the city of Falls Church, Loudoun County, and Prince William County.
The expo offers information, resources, education, and individual financial guidance for first-time buyers and renters. It features an exhibit hall with dozens of booths, plus free workshops. Workshops will cover topics like senior housing concerns and what to know about your credit score. Speaker will also describe the status of the local housing market and the tax implications of owning a home.
Attendees can also sign up for free, one-on-one financial coaching sessions with certified volunteer trainers from local nonprofits. The expo is partnering with Britepaths, a Fairfax-based nonprofit, to provide the private 30-minute sessions. Spanish-speaking counselors will also be available upon request.
The NoVA Housing Expo is hosted by the Falls Church Department of Housing & Human Services. The department strives to make affordable home ownership and rental opportunities available to residents of all income levels.
