The Radix team will be at the NMHC annual meeting next week and we would love to see you there. If you’ll be in attendance please reach out. We will be sharing market insight and forecasts as well as upcoming product updates. We are also excited to open several new markets in Radix Research. Our coverage continues to expand across the southeast, Midwest and West Coast, and new markets include Detroit, Columbus, Sacramento, and Huntsville among others.
Evidence of a strong economy continues to permeate the closing reports from 2023. December retail sales were very strong, increasing 0.6% monthly and 5.6% on an annually. The 2023 holiday season was better than expected, proving that the American consumer is healthy and spending. Consumer activity drives nearly three quarters of GDP, and the strong consumer activity is a positive indication for fourth quarter economic output. Prices may be on the rise because of the strong spending, as we saw the December CPI increase faster than estimates. The Personal Consumption Expenditures Index, the measure of inflation preferred by the Federal Reserve, will be released on Friday, providing further indication of pricing pressure across the market.
