Various Comments of United States Economic Forecast

U.S. Economic fundamentals continue to improve.U.S GDP growth of 2.5% - 2.7%.Unemployment lowering to around 6.5%.Employment growth of around 1.7%.Job gains frequently over 200,000 a month.Mortgage rates climbing toward 5.5%.Federal government fights less economically disruptive.FED stimulus of the economy easing (tapering), but not difficult to crank it back up.

Utah Commercial Real Estate experts are looking for a strong 2014

Sold $1.4 B in industrial investment in 2013. Expect to repeat in 2014.

Office absorption up, vacancies down, rents up, new construction.

Retail added 1M sq. ft. in 2013; looking for continued levels of activity.

Distribution looking for 1.9M new sq. ft. in 2014

Utah Expectation for 2014

Job growth from 3.5% to 3.8%.I expect 4.0% to 4.2% in 2015.I am an optimist.Base this on improved U.S. performance for 2014 and 2015.Unemployment will be low, but still masking the underutilization of Utah labor.Therefore, wage growth could still be below average.Normally in-migration would be a contributing factor, but could still be weak.
