For example, population growth varies from state to state, with states in the Sunbelt attracting new residents from other states. It is reasonable to expect faster-growing states such as Arizona and Nevada to continue to see stronger housing markets.
There's an issue lurking that is new to us, and that is the rapid escalation of home prices. Last year, we moved above the national average (in home prices). It won't stop people moving here, but they're going to live further and further out, so far out that their commute represents a significant part of the day and freeway congestion. We'll suffer growing pains as a result of housing prices.
As rates continue to rise, some local markets may see a backing off of prices and a soft landing as appreciation returns to historically normal levels.
Due to population growth, it is reasonable that construction would account for 8.8 percent of all jobs in Western states, somewhat higher than the national average of 5.4 percent.
