Additional key findings in the September MarketPulse report include:

  • Long-run potential GDP growth is estimated to be approximately 1.75 percent today as opposed to 3.5 percent prior to the recession. 
  • Single-family housing starts have moderated recently, influenced by rising mortgage interest rates.
  • The housing sector has played a pivotal role in driving GDP growth since late 2011, but rising rates will modestly temper the contribution moving forward.
  • Repeat sales is a simple, yet accurate method of estimating home price changes and an efficient use of housing data.
  • While repeat sales models are influenced by foreclosure resales, the impact is reflective of market dynamics.
