Summary and Conclusions GDP growth slowed in 2016 and early 2017, but this was not unexpected. Job Growth in 2017 has improved in most sectors except retail. Holding steady with our forecasts, but with a significantly wider band of uncertainty – both on the upside and the downside. Near term boost in economic activity may show up in stronger CRE fundamentals. Again, note higher uncertainty both on the upside and downside. More questions than answers in the new administration’s first 100+ days.
