4. The National Economy
Source: NAR
Real Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is a measure of everyone’s income. It is adjusted for inflation.
Nominal GDP is the raw dollar figure not adjusted for inflation
Historically GDP grows by 3% per year. GDP is forecast to grow at less than 2% for 2012.

5. Payroll Job Changes
Source: NAR
Payroll jobs are based on figures reported by companies. 89,000 jobs were added in June. This is like treading water given the
3 million additional people in our country every year. We need to add approximately 100,000 new jobs every month to keep up
with our increase in population.
Property of Lacy Williams, Joyner Fine Properties 5 www.RichmondHousingToday.com
6. Unemployment Rate
Source: NAR
The unemployment rate is the number of unemployed people divided by the number of people in the labor force. The
unemployed people have to be looking for a job to be counted as being in the labor force.
The unemployment rate is forecast to remain at or near 8% for the rest of 2012 and to decrease slightly next year.
Property of Lacy Williams, Joyner Fine Properties 6 www.RichmondHousingToday.com
7. Labor Force Participation Rate
Source: NAR
Source: NAR
The labor Force participation Rate has been falling since the beginning of the Recession. Many went back to school or took
early retirement packages and are therefore no longer counted as part of the labor force. It is highly unusual for the labor force
participation rate to collapse so steeply since late 2008. There will be recent school graduates who will need to re-enter the
workforce as prolonged student loan borrowing is not sustainable.
If the labor force participation rate were to be normal (or if it had not fallen), then the corresponding unemployment rate would
be approximately 11%.

8. Job Losses During Post-WWII Recessions
Source: Keeping Current Matters
This graph shows job losses in every recession since the Great Depression. This recession has been longer and deeper than
any recession since the great depression. But employment is improving and there are signs of recovery. But unemployment is
still higher than the low point of all but 2 post depression recessions.

The stimulus tax credit expired in April of 2010. There was a sharp drop in the number of sales after that but the number of
sales has been rising (with monthly fluctuation) since June of 2010 without government intervention.

10. Housing Starts
Source: NAR
Housing starts measure the number of newly constructed homes. The U.S. Population grows by approximately 3 million per
year (though it is estimated to have slowed to 2 million in 2011). Based on population growth and the need to replace some of
the demolished housing units, most economists believe about 1.5 million housing units need to be built each year, which also
happens to be the historical average (shown with the green line).
In recent years, new home construction has been well below the norm contributing to more job losses in the construction
industry. Multifamily units are primarily for rentals and this sector is experiencing a recovery due to rising rents.
Housing starts have risen by 20% so far this year. Falling inventory means that builders need to ramp up production. But many
smaller builders cannot obtain construction loans. Housing starts are forecast to rise 25% in 2012 and by 50% in 2013.

The supply of houses is determined by the number of active listings divided by the monthly sales rate for the past year.
Inventory began to drop in 2011 and has continued to drop in 2012. We are following a nationwide trend of declining
inventory. In May 2010, there were 7455 houses listed for sale in Greater Richmond and now there are 4392. A normal
