With that said labor and materials costs suggest new housing can’t go down in price (and old housing as well)With that said I expected a recession between now to q1 2025 and that doesn’t seem to be shaping up.In my market (Rochester, ny) the economy is primarily driven by defense and healthcare so I expect to be largely unaffected by the broader economy.

Keep in mind that defense costs are also covered over an above the liability limits on your policies.
