Regional Summary Look for regional economic growth to be below its half-century annual average of 3.1 percent and below that of the nation. Port, health-care industries, and tourism are likely to help the region’s economic expansion in 2015 Single-family home prices in 2015 are likely to continue to increase at a moderate pace. –Inventories, sale volume, and days-on-market are all moving in the right direction. Months of supply of existing homes are near their historic average. Lingering distressed volume remains a concern –REOs appear to be one of the driving forces behind lower sale prices.
