I'm doing conventional and my employer has already completed the written verification of my employment.

It might be something to do with larger-scale economic factors (city heavily relies on a large employer/industry sector), or might be due to some sort of new local issue, or, again on the employer bit, maybe there's a large number of military families living there that are being transferred (I'm not military, that might not be realistic).Whatever the underlying issue is just do your due diligence finding out what it is.
