So What for Marin County Builders?
• Shapes expectations for homeowners, developers and governments
• Interest rates at lower levels should help
• Equity market recovery should help
• Long duration of unemployment and more existing units coming on line may not help new build, might help remodel
• Shifting structure: retail and restaurant losses, also some jobs to re-model and re-configure

What to Watch
• Labor market changes: need to avoid business losses
• Loss of labor force
• Residential contraction of spending on remodeling
• Commercial real estate scramble
•Housing and re-model market movements: where will local residents go?
•Policy: the lift is coming, how we lift is key
• Really about 2021 and forward in terms of confidence
