housing forecast
On Friday, November 13 at 8 am, the Home Builders Association hosted its first-ever virtual Housing Forecast presented by PARR Lumber via Zoom. Attendees joined us from their offices and homes to hear the same high quality presentations which was followed by live Q&A. In this unusual market climate, they heard expert analysis on the Portland Metro’s housing industry as well as the state and national markets.
The 2021 Housing Forecast featured NAHB Chief Economist/SVP Dr. Robert Dietz and Tim Duy, Senior Director of the Oregon Economic Forum. They reviewed local, state and national economic and housing indicators and provided forecasts covering single-family, multi-family and remodeling home construction. The forecast and Q&A session was moderated by Jim Irvine, Senior Fellow in Residence for the College of Urban and Public Affairs at Portland State University. HBA President-Elect Carol Eisenlohr of Toll Brothers Homes provided the opening welcome.
