The 2016 ForecastThis is an election year. Economists tell us that nothing out of the ordinary typically

happens to the U.S. economy in an election year—even in one as crazy as this one is

turning out to be. That being said, it doesn’t mean the economy will stop growing or

that the housing market will come to a standstill. In fact, according to Windermere’s

Chief Economist, Matthew Gardner, employment is anticipated to grow by 1.6 percent

in 2016, and unemployment should remain below 5 percent. This is what is referred to

as “full employment”, which means that most people who want a job have one. That’s

good news.

Things are also looking good for the housing market in the year ahead. Barring

any unforeseeable events, U.S. home sales will continue to rise modestly in 2016.

A number of West Coast cities have very strong economies that are poised to just

keep growing, so home sales should grow right alongside them. The same is true for

U.S. home prices, which will continue to appreciate in 2016, although not at the same

pace that we saw in 2015. We’re predicting a more modest 5.5 percent increase,

down from 6.8 last year.

Supply and demand continue to be way out of balance in cities throughout the

western U.S. We’re optimistic that an increase in homeowner equity and downsizing

baby boomers will lead to a modest rise in inventory; this should help address the

substantial demand, although not as much as we might hope, or need.

Last, but not least, interest rates. Again, we look to our Chief Economist for insights

and he tells us we should see rates gradually rise to about 4.5 percent by the end

of the year. So, yes, it’s an increase, but not enough to have a significant impact on

home sales.

So there you have it—our forecast for the 2016 housing market and economy. We’re

both optimistic and excited to see where the year takes us.

WINDERMERE .COM 61

T H E N A T I O N A L

ECO N O M I C FO R EC AST

1 The U.S. will continue to expand with real GDP growth of 2.3% in 2016

Although a positive number, the forecasted rate of growth

suggests that we will be modestly underperforming in 2016. On the

up side, oil prices, oil prices are likely to remain well below long-

term averages, which puts more money into consumers’ pockets

in terms of disposable incomes. However, I believe consumers are

likely to continue to save, rather than spend, which will constrain

growth. That said, there is certainly no recession on the horizon—

at least not yet—and a strong dollar will act as a bit of an anchor.

2 Employment will continue to expand but the rate of growth will slow

Look for an increase of 1.6% in 2016. We are rapidly approaching full

employment (generally considered to be when the unemployment

rate drops below 5 percent). As such, growth in employment has

to be driven more by population growth rather than a return to

employment. 2015 saw an average of around 210,000 jobs created

per month and I believe this is likely to slow to an average monthly

gain of 190,000 new jobs.

3 The U.S. unemployment rate will continue to drop and end 2016 at 4.8%

As mentioned above, we are heading toward full employment and,

as such, the national unemployment rate cannot trend much lower.

That said, the less acknowledged U-6 rate (which includes those

working part-time and those marginally attached to the workforce)

will remain elevated at around 8%, signifying there is still some

slack in the economy and room for the rate to drop a little further.

4 Inflation will remain in check with the Consumer Price Index at 1.9%

The Federal Reserve has begun the long-awaited tightening of

monetary policy, and we will likely see the Fed Funds Rate continue

to move higher over the next two years. Inflation has yet to respond

to the low unemployment rate, but it will.

The core rate of inflation should remain in check and the overall rate

could stay below long-term averages as a function of stubbornly

low energy costs. Should we see a shift in OPEC’s position relative

to oil supply, the overall rate of inflation could rise more rapidly. Oil

prices, therefore, will remain in focus during 2016.

T H E N A T I O N A L

H O US I N G FO R EC AST

5 Mortgage rates will rise, but we will still end 2016 with the average 30-year fixed rate below 5%

I am taking the Fed at its word when it says that monetary

tightening in 2016 will be gradual and heavily data dependent.

Accordingly, I expect only a modest uptick in long-term rates in

2016. Furthermore, as long as the Federal Reserve continues to

reinvest the dividends it is receiving from their bond holdings—

which is highly likely—the yield on the key 10-year treasury will

remain low and hold mortgage rates in check. This is only likely to

change after the general election, therefore suggesting that rates

will remain very attractive relative to their long-term averages.

6 Credit quality—which had been remarkably stringent—will relax a little

Access to credit, specifically mortgage instruments, has not been

easy for many would-be homebuyers, but this is set to change. I

believe we will see some improvement, specifically for borrowers with

“near-prime” credit, offering some assistance to first-time buyers.

7 Existing home sales will rise modestly to an annual rate of 5.53 million units with home prices up 4.7%

I anticipate we will see some improvement in overall transactional

velocities in 2016, but unfortunately, demand will still exceed supply.

Prices will continue to rise, but at a more constrained pace than seen

over the past few years. I anticipate we will see more listings come

online as more households return to positive equity in their homes.

8 New home sales will jump —look for a 23% increase in sales and prices rising by 3.4%

I believe builders will start to build to the entry-level buyer, filling a

huge void. Additionally, I expect the total number of new home starts

to increase dramatically in 2016 as banks ease lending and builders

believe the downward trend in homeownership has come to an end.

9 The Millennials will start to enter the marketEarly Millennials are getting older and starting to settle

down, and even with modestly higher mortgage rates, rents are likely

to continue to trend upward, pulling many into homeownership. In

addition, more favorable mortgage insurance premiums, additional

supply from downsizing boomers, and growing confidence in the

housing market will lead to palpable growth in demand from this

important—and substantial—demographic.

I believe 2016 will be a year of few surprises. Because it is an election year, I do not expect to see any significant governmental moves that would have major impacts on the U.S. economy or the housing market.
