The following articles about real estate trends and the current economic climate show a mixed message of data and market factors, including slowed home building and purchasing based on a housing supply shortage, reduced immigration and increasing mortgage rates, but also a buoyed base of home sales due to soaring rents, rising incomes and an influx of Millennials into the housing and job market. This data reinforces the strategy of investing in private equity loans, added-value real estate, buy-and-hold multi-unit rental properties or simply increasing cash positions to safeguard against a recession. Forecasts by economists and market experts range between an eventual slowdown and market correction to a possible repeat of a housing bubble crisis and market crash in the next few years due to rising inflation and interest rates, overbuying, overvalued property, the return of unconventional lending and the volatility of major foreign markets.
