Whether you are trying to sell your home or are hoping to buy real estate in Chicago, the latest report from Fannie Mae’s Economic & Strategic Research Group shares a positive outlook for your real estate experience.
The data indicates a marked increase in consumer buying since 2010 and a “modest re-acceleration” is predicted for the rest of 2013 due to a stronger labor market and improving financial and housing market conditions. Growth of 2.2% in housing and market conditions for 2013 is further anticipated, which is great news for your Chicago home!
According to Fannie Mae Chief Economist Doug Duncan, a sustainable pace is expected in housing and should “act as a tailwind for the economy throughout the year and into 2014.” The Economic & Strategic Research Group cited continued increased home demand as a possible significant contributor to growth in 2014.
Duncan went on to state, “Our May forecast predicts that the second half of 2013 will be a little stronger than the first half, despite the slowdown during the past couple of months.”
