	Overview
	Sales of new and existing homes have plummeted, and price appreciation is starting to tip negative in many markets. How deep will the housing adjustment be, how long will it last, and how much damage will be done to the US economy? Without the US consumer acting as a locomotive, what can power the economy forward? Should Orange County care? Our forecasting team will answer these and many more questions, as they offer forecasts for the national, state and local economies.
