Lawrence Yun, chief economist at the National Association of Realtors®, presented his 2019 housing and economic forecast late last November; Here is what he had to say about 2019.
"Ninety percent of markets are experiencing price gains while very few are experiencing consistent price declines. Looking to next year, Yun shared his forecast for home sales and median home prices. "The forecast for home sales will be very boring - meaning stable.” Commenting on the overall health of the U.S. economy, Yun noted that the economy is "good." He noted that we have low unemployment, record high job openings, historically low jobless claims, job additions for eight straight years and wages beginning to increase. "This type of activity in the economy should support the housing market, even as interest rates rise," said Yun.
