Brian Block, managing broker and branch vice president with Re/Max Allegiance in McLean Va., is stoking the interest of prospects with a rap video about the hot real estate market in the Washington, D.C. metro area.

“Inventory of homes for sale is extremely tight in Northern Virginia — at last look there’s just over 1-month supply of homes on the market,” Block says in an Active Rain blog post explaining the motivation for the video. “Same goes for D.C.  In fact, right now, much of the country is having a similar phenomenon in the local real estate markets.”
