📰 News we're reading

• Holston Habitat Homeownership (elizabethton.com) — Holston Habitat for Humanity is now accepting applications for its Homeownership Program, including a new single-family home planned for 1035 Glendale Street in Bristol. Bristol and Johnson City residents have until June 26 to apply, with staff available by appointment to help complete forms and explain how families can qualify for these affordable homes.
   

• Kingsport-Bristol Apartment Vacancy Rate Up - CoreData @ donfenley.com (donfenley.com) — Apartment vacancies in the Kingsport-Bristol area have climbed to 5.8%, meaning more open units and slower rent growth than in recent years. For Bristol renters, that translates into better negotiating power and a friendlier market, while landlords and investors may need to adjust expectations as demand cools despite almost no new construction.
