Economists predict a mostly positive housing market for the coming year.

(RECAP: Today at the International Builders Show, some of the industry’s most prominent economists discussed their financial forecasts for 2014. Multi-family housing starts should, they predict, rise 9% year-over-year for the next two years, and reach nearly 11% over the “normal” (defined by the 1995-2003 average starts) by the end of 2015. Single-family starts, they predict, are headed for an even stronger recovery. Current estimates suggest 32% and 41% year-over-year growth rates for 2014 and 2015, respectively.)
