Economists, investors, brokers, and countless media outlets (including Youtube) share market predictions in January and the preceding months.

I’m not an economist, but lenders not loaning money means only one thing to me.

I am no economist, but I cannot find anyone below the age of 45-65 range that can even complete simple tasks reliably without major drama and attempts to cheat me.

Most of the economists will say that the inflation runs at around 3% a year, which is almost the interest you are paying on these loans. 

A smart mortgage lender friend who follows the top economists in his industry told me he thinks it could be low for anther 4-5 years. 

Another publication to look at for the differences, culturally, between the Bay Area and the Rocky Mountain states, is The Economist mag, which continually has insightful articles on the U.S., as well as the world.

“Basically, the hurricane destroys part of the housing stock,” said Yanjun Liao, an economist...

However, some economists estimate we're still a good five years behind the demand.More recently, natural disasters have destroyed the existing housing stock in two major areas: southeast Texas and the gulf states, and a large portion of the State of Florida as well as portions of Alabama and Georgia.

If you want to understand where I get this prediction look at the recent webinar recording by Zillow economists on youtube and also look at the Minneapolis Association of Realtors video called The Skinny.Basically, the growth will be slower than it has been over the last few years, but no significant drop.  

I’m wondering if there’s a preferred source of news for real estate markets and if anyone recommends reading publications like The Economist, ect.
