The news these days seems to have a mix of highs and lows. We may hear that an economic recovery is starting, but weāve also seen some of the worst economic data in the history of our country. The challenge today is to understand exactly whatās going on and what it means relative to the road ahead. Weāve talked before about what experts expect in the second half of this year, and today that progress largely hinges upon the continued course of the virus. A recent Wall Street Journal survey of economist noted, āA strong economic recovery depends on effective and sustained containment of Covid-19.ā Given the uncertainty around the virus, we can also consider what economists are forecasting for GDP in the third quarter of this year. Overwhelmingly, economists are projecting GDP growth in the third quarter of 2020, with 5 of the 9 experts indicating over 20% growth. Lisa Shalett, Chief Investment Officer for Morgan Stanley puts it this way: āIndeed, the āworst everā GDP reading could be followed by the ābest everā growth in the third quarter.ā As we look forward, we can expect consumer spending to improve as well. According to Opportunity Insights, as of August 1, consumer spending was down just 7.8% as compared to January 1 of this year. An economic recovery is beginning to happen throughout the country. While there are still questions that need to be answered about the road ahead, we can expect to see improvement this quarter. #expertanswers #GDP #stayinformed #staycurrent #powerfuldecisions #confidentdecisions #realestate #homevalues #homeownership #homebuying #realestategoals #realestatetips #realestatelife #realestatenews #realestateagent #realestateexpert #realestateagency #realestateadvice #realestateblog #realestatemarket #realestateexperts #instarealestate #instarealtor #realestatetipsoftheday #realestatetipsandadvice #keepingcurrentmatters (at Telluride, Colorado) https://www.instagram.com/p/CD_3P6VjtoJ/?igshid=lia94v0her10
