Housing Continues To Fuel US Economy


There are a number of housing factors that are contributing to the boost in our economy. Many cities are now showing an increase in housing prices. Although inventory is not as robust, many Realtors and agents are experiencing multiple offers on their listings. This would indicate a shortage of properties and a surplus of Buyers.
With all that said, you will see more and more real estate companies hiring for agents. Lenders will increase their staffing for loan originators to funders. Contractors and developers will hire additional workers. Most businesses that rely on the real estate cycle will also see an increase in production. This includes lumber yards, transportation, business services, etc.
I have personally seen more and more new construction in areas where building has generally been non-existent. With declines in delinquencies, defaults and foreclosures this can only mean that the housing industry and related industries will experience a boost in business.
