Housing and Commercial Real Estate
The US economy continues robust growth but for how long? What does current low consumer sentiment indicate for the future? With inflation remaining elevated are we in for higher interest rates after the current rate hike pause? Is California becoming the new Rust Belt? What are the prospects for housing and commercial real estate in Orange County? These are all important questions for decision-making by businesses and governments in Southern California. The driving forces behind the answers will be explored in depth during the annual UCLA Anderson Forecast Orange County Economic and Real Estate Outlook held in collaboration with the UCLA Ziman Center for Real Estate and UCI Paul Merage School of Business.
