Ms. Skillington will provide a review and forecast of economic and housing market conditions with an eye on residential construction impacts. Housing is a bright spot for the economy in the wake of the Covid-19 crisis, and he will detail macroeconomic factors affecting housing demand, industry-level detail on supply-side headwinds that are limiting construction sector growth, and share NAHB's economic forecast including future actions of the Federal Reserve. Skillington will also quantify geographic trends affecting housing demand, including the suburban shift - the move to lower density markets - of both single-family and multifamily construction.
