The report analyzed if additional first-time homebuyer incentives and more flexibly underwritten loans could reverse declining rates of homeownership in Baltimore.
In today’s Industry Roundup, we take a closer look at this report. We also genetic ancestry, scaling up quantum computers, and a newly discovered South Pole Wall in deep space.
