• Foreclosures Will Take Time to Work Through – Many Sub-primes Will Have Reset by Early 2009– Alt-As will take much longer– Some Areas Face Danger of Prime Mortgages Going into Foreclosure
Because of Falling Prices
• Fiscal Impacts of Declines in Residential Property Values Will Invoke Large Toll on Government Tax Revenues
• Federal Policy Effects – How Long For Current Actions to Turn the Current Situation?
• Increases in Sales A Sign the Tide is Turning?
• Market Recovery Will be a Mix by Geography – Areas with Good Transportation and Access to Jobs, Recovering Soon, Most Areas Will Take Longer
THE OUTLOOK FOR NORTHERN VIRGINIA’s HOUSING MARKET
• Underlying Economic Fundamentals are Still OK– Federal Procurement Moderating Trend to Continue & Will Grow But
Will Not be the Economic Driver as in the Past – Sectors Related to Housing Market Will Take Some Time to Recover
– Will Depend on Housing Market Recovery– Long-term Prosperity/Recovery Will Require Adequate Workforce,
Workforce Housing, Improved Mobility / Traffic Congestion Relief– Need Long-Term Economic Strategy To Build on Region’s Strengths
& Adjust to Any Shifts in Procurement Policy
• Federal Policy Effects – How Long For Current Actions to Turn the Current Situation?
• Recovering Slowly Late 2009 At National Level ?? – Northern Virginia Jobs Will Continue Slow Growth
THE OUTLOOK FOR NORTHERN VIRGINIA’s ECONOMY
