Doug Duncan, Fannie Mae’s Vice President and Chief Economist, shares his housing market forecast for 2021 and beyond.
According to Duncan, “Over the course of the rest of the year, the quarterly numbers by which the economy grows, will slow. And by the end of 2021, we would expect to be back, just about where we were at the beginning of 2020.”
