Would a federal government shutdown affect real estate market growth? That’s one of the topics up for discussion on Wednesday during the Urban Land Institute’s (ULI) semi-annual report.
The Real Estate Consensus Forecast is based on a survey of 49 real estate economists and analysts at 36 of the nation’s leading institutions.
During a media webinar, a panel of experts will discuss survey results and look at the near-term and long-term projections for 27 key economic and real estate indicators. They range from employment figures to transaction volume, housing starts, and commercial property sector performance.
Despite the recent decision by the Federal Reserve to delay raising interest rates, the panel also will provide insights on whether interest rate fears have been allayed or if they anticipate a rate increase later this year.
The forecast findings will touch on industry outlooks for apartment, hotel, office, retail, and industrial/warehouse properties. Look for a news story on the forecast at vabusiness.wpengine.com.
