Apartment, condos sector flat
The market for apartments and condominiums was flat in the first quarter of 2016 according to the National Association of Home Builders. Its Multifamily Production Index was essentially unchanged compared to the previous quarter but the index has held at 50 or above for 17 consecutive quarters.
“Multifamily developers remain cautiously optimistic about the market,” said Andrew Chaban, CEO of Princeton Properties in Lowell, Mass., and chairman of NAHB’s Multifamily Council. “Market conditions remain favorable and demand is still strong, so we expect to remain in positive territory.”
NAHB is expecting construction of multifamily units to remain relatively stable throughout the rest of 2016.
Obama set to stay in Washington rental home
President Obama and family will remain in Washington when they leave the White House according to CNBC. Its sources say that the Obamas will live in the Kalorama neighborhood in a rented mansion until daughter Sasha leaves high school in 2018.
Zillow data puts the rental at $22,000 a month for the 9-bedroom home, which is valued at $6 million and is owned by Joe Lockhart, Bill Clinton’s former press secretary.
