Kirk Cousins’ former Va. town house sells quickly (Photos)

By WTOP Staff

WASHINGTON — The house Kirk Cousins lived in while he played for the Redskins was on sale, but thanks to the hot Loudoun County real estate market it’s as gone as the quarterback himself.

Inside Nova first reported that the house was rented by Cousins from former teammate Chris Samuels, and went on sale late last month.

The house, in Ashburn, Virginia, was listed for $515,000, and was listed as “under contract” five days later. It has three bedrooms, three bathrooms and a half-bath.

Cousins played six seasons for Washington, three of them as the starting quarterback. The team used the franchise tag on him twice, but he left as a free agent after last season. He signed with the Minnesota Vikings in March.

Voters are worried about the cost of housing. But Trump wants home prices to keep climbing

By The Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump wants to keep home prices high, bypassing calls to ramp up construction so people can afford what has been a ticket to the middle class. Trump has instead argued for protecting existing owners who have watched the values of their homes climb. It's a position that flies in the face of what many economists, the real estate industry, local officials and apartment dwellers say is needed to fix a big chunk of America’s affordability problem. “I don’t want to drive housing prices down. I want to drive housing prices up for people that own their homes, and they can be assured that’s what’s going to happen,” Trump told his Cabinet on Jan. 29. That approach could bolster the Republican president's standing with older voters, a group that over time has been more likely to vote in midterm elections. Those races in November will determine whether Trump's party can retain control of the House and Senate.
