Join us for an important Industry Meeting, May 19th at Louisiana Culinary Institute! Doors open at 2:30pm and the presentation will start promptly at 3pm, with a Homebuilders Happy Hour at BRQ to follow from 4-5pm.
NAHB's Chief Economist, Dr. Robert Dietz, will provide an overview of economic and housing market conditions with an eye on residential construction impacts as the economy recovers from the virus crisis. Housing was a bright spot during a challenging 2020. Will that continue in 2021? Is inflation accelerating, and what impact will that have on interest rates? Dietz will detail and explore macroeconomic factors affecting housing demand, industry-level measures of supply-side headwinds that are limiting construction sector growth, and the financial health of consumers. His presentation will provide NAHB’s economic forecast including future actions of the Federal Reserve. Bring your questions for a broad discussion of the economic outlook.
