By: CENTER FOR REAL ESTATE STUDIES Our economic expansion is established and is now officially the longest on record. While business cycles don't last forever, we should recognize that the longer an expansion lasts, the more likely it is to stagger. Another sign suggesting that our economy is in the later stages of the business cycle is the extremely low unemployment rate. The yield curve shows signs of inverting from time to time, such inversions are not a guarantee that a recession is coming. They tend, however, to coincide with an increased risk of an economic downturn six months to two years into the future. We feel a recession is unlikely thanks to strong household income growth. Consumer spending is likely to remain solid, but trade uncertainty will be an ongoing drag on real estate investments. Tariffs themselves are harmful to grow. The larger impact occurs because of the rising uncertainty, which brings caution. Tariffs make investors unsure to what may be in the future. Many investors are waiting for greater clarity. We have already seen a significant decline in activity, and more weakness in sentiment indicators is likely in the coming months. ApartmentData.com reports that currently, the residential real estate marketplace is slowing down. This specifically means that single-family homes are becoming scarce. This is likely to drive up prices in areas that are experiencing limited supply and high demand.

Scarcity of affordable homes leads directly to increased demand for rental and lease properties ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Eugene E.
