Brighter Outlook For Housing and Economy - Fannie Mae

Monday, April 19, 2021

Incoming data for March has caused Fannie Mae to again revise its forecast for the year's growth in gross domestic product (GDP). The company's Economic and Strategic Research (ESR) team said a sharp uptick in the economy last month followed a weather-related retreat in February. Most evident was a jump in employment to 916,000 new jobs in March from 468,000 in February, the fastest pace since August 2020. This growth is expected to continue. Auto sales were also up, and consumer confidence surveys jumped to their highest levels since the April 2020 downturn. As a result of these and other heightened indicators, Fannie Mae now sees growth reaching 6.8 percent by the fourth quarter on a year-over-year basis, up from 6.6 percent in the earlier forecast. Expectations for 2022 are unchanged at 3.0 percent.

Jean took time to explain so much to me as a first time single home owner. The entire process went so smooth thanks to Jean and her professional way of dealing with everything. There were no surprises because Jean kept me in the loop the entire time. THANK YOU JEAN for making our dreams come true!
