Overall, jobs in construction and real estate have declined by 19% since the recession—hundreds of thousands more than health care has added.

Construction Costs Remain High… and Expected To Go Higher:
Construction Employment in US
Current construction employment is at its historic average, so there is little slack in the labor pool of workers to draw from without putting further upward pressure on wages.

Unaffordability: Why You Should Care • Short-Term: Leads to higher municipal service costs, and eventually higher property taxes. -Municipal workers (police, fire, sanitation, school teachers) can’t afford to live in the municipality that employs them.
• Long-Term: Leads to a contracting spiral of decline -As the municipality becomes less affordable, home sales drop, followed by population and employment declines, tax base contracts, quality of public services erodes…leading to further population and employment losses…and further tax base contraction. -Very difficult to reverse this spiral (ask Detroit).

Summary and Conclusions • GDP Growth and House Price Appreciation expected to continue, but at a decreasing rate. -2016 expected to be a decent year…BUT: -We are closer to the next recession than we are from the previous one. • Will still be several years before housing has completely recovered from the last recession. -Prices are there, but jobs and new home sales are not. -Rising interest rates and labor costs plus next recession won’t help. =>Plan accordingly! • You can’t do much about national cyclical factors, but you can address local structural issues. -Drought and high water costs are avoidable. -Bring rationality to land use policy…get involved!
