US Real Estate Outlook 2019

February 8, 2019

In 2019, we expect growth in the US economy to continue supporting demand for real estate. Even if the pace of growth in real GDP is a little slower than 2018, the momentum is positive, as shown in exhibit 2, and the labor market is strong. Strength in the labor market is an important driver of demand for real estate. In 2018, the US added an average of 200,000 jobs per month. We expect another 2.0 million jobs, or around 165,000 jobs per month to be added in 2019.
