Economic Forecast Predicts Slower Growth
|
|
At a February 13th
Economic Forecast Breakfast
event hosted by the
Construction Association of Michigan
and the
Home Builders Association of Southeastern Michigan
and attended by 250+ industry professionals, keynote speaker Robert Dietz, PhD, presented evidence to support his theory that the residential home building market is still expanding, however, the market growth rate will begin to slow. He notes that while the economy is slowing, risk of recession remains low.
Based on population growth and anticipated ages at which millennials will move out of their family homes, the demand for single family housing is still strong but the decision to buy is coming later in life.
