Nick Pakulla - Mortgage Lender Loan Officer in MD, DC, VA Could the pending government shut down affect housing? The simple answer is yes. However, the depth of the impact will depend on the length of the shut down and what guidance is released. A short shut down will have a very minor impact, but a month long shut down would have significant impact. Nickhomeloan.com~Site InfoWhoisTrace RouteRBL Check Similar Sites: nickpakulla.com
