Title insurance is boring, but Allied Title & Escrow is here to decode the jargon and make it (somewhat) more interesting. This biweekly feature will explore the mundane (but very necessary!) world of title insurance while sharing interesting stories of two friends’ entrepreneurial careers.
For this week’s edition of Boring Title, we have two segments:
- An interview with DMV Realtor Josh Ross of Ross Residential
- Brief market update
We interviewed Josh Ross of Ross Residential, who is a real estate agent licensed in D.C., MD and VA. Josh gives a brief background of himself and Ross Residential, talks about the impact of the pandemic on real estate, why he chooses to partner with developers and more!

July Market Statistics (From What We’ve Seen)
- 25% increase in home purchase price from June
- 14% increase in purchases as a percent of total deals closed
- 11% increase in purchases opened in first half of July compared to first half of June
Thus far in July, we continue to see homes selling quickly and for record high prices, a reflection of the high buyer demand in the D.C. area housing market. Fairfax and Alexandria reported the highest median monthly sales price in a decade in June 2020, largely due to the limited inventory of listings.
However, it appears seller confidence is rising, and the market could begin to normalize. Purchases as a percentage of total deals closed rose in July thus far. We expect this percentage to continue to rise as the market continues to rebound as sellers continue to enter the market.

Synetic Theater Camps are a wildly fun, highly accessible choice for young people who love moving, playing games, and making memories. Registration is open now for Summer Camps (sessions June 20-August 25) and there are even a few spots left for Spring Break camp, April 3-7.
Located in National Landing, these performance-based camps are designed for students of all ages – no theater or performance experience required.
Led by professional teaching artists, campers learn acting, movement, and technical theater skills through the lens of Physical Theater. Physical Theater incorporates acting, movement, dance, mime, and acrobatics. If you’ve seen a Cirque du Soleil performance, you’ll find many similarities.
Most first-time campers are new to the performing arts, and teaching artists are well-versed in engaging students at all levels. Parents and campers report that one of the best parts of Synetic is the community, with many families returning year after year because they feel a strong sense of belonging.
