Fannie Mae predicts slower growth in GDP in year ahead (WASHINGTON) Full-year 2019 real GDP growth is predicted to slow to 2.3 percent, down from 2018's projected 3.1 percent, due largely to the waning impact of the Budget Reconciliation Act, a widening trade deficit, and moderating business investment growth, according to Fannie Mae's Economic and Strategic Research Group Consumer spending should continue to be the largest positive contributor to headline growth amid consumer confidence that remains near an expansion best. However, business fixed investment growth, a critical driver of the current expansion, slowed significantly in the third quarter and may be further constrained in the near term

by higher tariffs, trade uncertainty, and rising interest rates and input costs. The most notable downside risks to the forecast include the ongoing trade tensions between the U.S. and China and stock market volatility, both of which have the potential to materially impact consumer and business spending. Barring accelerating inflation, the ESR Group expects both mortgage rates and home sales to stabilize in the new year as the economy slows. Purchase mortgage originations should climb, but a more substantial decline in refinances is expected to result in a small drop in total origination volumes. Continued on page 1

Realtors’ charitable pursuits higher than public average (WASHINGTON) Eighty-two percent of Realtors donate money to charitable causes every year, compared to the national average of 56.6 percent of Americans who do so, according to a new report from the National Association of Realtors. The Community Aid and Real Estate Report, known as the CARE Report, provides insight on the monetary and volunteer contributions that general members at-large, broker-owners and association executives of multiple listing services give to society
The report found that all three of these groups donate money and volunteer significant amounts of time in their communities while supporting their local Realtor Associations. Compared to the general members at-large, 81 percent of broker-owners donate money on an annual basis, while 90 percent of association executives or MLS staff donate each year. According to the report’s findings, four-fifths of NAR’s members reported that being involved in their communities is an important component of their business plan.
“The findings in this report highlight what we’ve known all along that Realtors go above and beyond to serve their neighbors,” said NAR President John Smaby, of Edina, Minnesota and broker at Edina Realty. “Realtors across the country not only work to help people achieve the American dream, but they also work hard to make a difference in our communities and make them better places to live.” When it comes to volunteering, 85 percent of association executives and
MLS staff report that they volunteer monthly for a median of 10 hours, as did 77 percent of broker-owners, followed by 66 percent of members atlarge for eight hours.In comparison, just 6.1 percent of Americans volunteer on a regular basis. Of those who donate money annually, broker-owners give a median amount of $1,950, the most of the three groups. Association executives and MLS staff contribute a median amount of $1,250 a year, and general members give $1,000 annually. Realtor associations also donated

Associations also contribute thousands to help community to their communities, with a median annual amount of $5,000 to their communities and $2,500 to NAR. Eighty-nine percent of executive or MLS staff responded that their associations held a fundraiser for their community last year, with 54 percent holding three or more. Eighty percent of broker-owners indicated that they encourage their agents to be involved in their communities and 64 percent of general members at-large reported that their firms encourage them to volunteer. In 2019, NAR will celebrate the 20th
year of the Good Neighbor Awards, which recognizes Realtors who
make extraordinary commitments to improving the quality of life in their communities. Since its inception, the Good Neighbor Awards has recognized more than 200 Realtors for their charitable service, and awarded $1.2 million in grant money. For more information, go to nar.realtor/gna. Seventy-five percent of
respondents identified as general members at-large, 20 percent as broker-owners and six percent as association executives or MLS staff. The survey was sent out in June to 162,474 people, 120,000 were randomly selected Realtors who are not brokers of record and 40,000 were sent to a random sample of designated Realtors. Altogether 4,095 people responded to the survey. The margin of error for the survey is +/-1.5 percentage points at the 95 percent confidence level.

Fannie Mae issues forecast for slower economy in 2018 Continued from page 4 "We expect full-year 2018 economic growth to come in at 3.1 percent – an expansion high – before slowing markedly to 2.3 percent in 2019 and 1.6 percent in 2020," said Fannie Mae Chief Economist Doug Duncan. "Fading fiscal policy, worsening net exports, and moderating business investment all contribute to our projection that GDP growth will begin to slow in 2019." Duncan continued, "The labor market continues to be one of the economy's high points, and with inflation hovering around the Fed's 2.0-percent target, we maintain our call that the Fed will hike rates once more in December and two more times in 2019, despite rising market expectations of fewer hikes amid stock market volatility. “If mortgage rates trend sideways next year, as we anticipate, and home price appreciation continues to moderate, improving affordability should breathe some life into the housing market. “We also expect residential fixed investment to resume a positive growth trajectory amid continued rising housing starts and stabilizing home sales.

Individually, settlements were up by eight percent in Worcester and were down by 9.2 percent in Wicomico and by 44.4 percent in Somerset. Yearto-date settlements across the tri-county area totaled 4,156 as of the end of November, which is about 2.1 percent lower than the same time last year. New listings that went on the market in November were down 7.9 percent and total active listings were down by 17.6 percent compared to the same time last year in all three counties. That translates to 441 new listings and 3,273 active listings. Individually, available units were down by 14.2 percent in Worcester County, by 25.2 percent in Wicomico County, and by 9.1 percent in Somerset County.

$207,258, which is 14.8 percent higher than the same time last year. “We generally see a market slowdown during this time of year, as buyers and sellers focus their attention on their families and the holidays,” said Coastal President Bernie Flax. “However, we are also feeling the side effects of continued mortgage rate increases, which are impacting real estate across the country.” According to Lawrence Yun, chief economist for the National Association of Realtors (NAR), the recent rise in mortgage rates have reduced the pool of eligible buyers. However, Yun added that while the short-term out look is uncertain, he is very optimistic about the long-term outlook. The current home sales level matches sales in 2000. “However, mortgage rates are much lower today compared to earlier this century, when mortgage rates averaged eight percent,” Yun said. “So, while the longterm prospects look solid, we just have to get through this short-term period of uncertainty.” Coastal’s monthly local housing statistics are pulled from the Bright Multiple Listing Service, which represents the activity of over 1,000 local Realtors in Somerset, Wicomico and Worcester counties, as well as 85,000 real estate professionals across the Mid-Atlantic.

Consumers relying on internet more to find homes
(WASHINGTON) Consumers retain the internet as a critical tool during their home-buying process, while buyers continue to use the knowledge and expertise of a real estate agent, according to the National Association of Realtors' “Real Estate in a Digital Age report.” The report examines the process home buyers go through in the initial online search and the role Realtors play connecting with customers in the digital space. "Consumers have the ability to do more home buying research online than ever before. Still, Realtors present tremendous value to buyers from every generation and every background. While consumers have more technological tools at their fingertips, Realtors continue to be a large part of the home buying and selling equation,” said John Smaby, broker at Edina Realty in Minnesota. The report found that finding the right property was ranked as the most difficult step in the home buying process. Since the internet is now the first place many people go for information, it is not surprising that 44 percent of buyers looked for properties online as a first step in the home buying process (the same as 2017). However, 87 percent of
buyers in 2018 purchased their home with assistance from a real estate agent, a share that grows higher for millennials at 90 percent. While 99 percent of millennials and 90 percent of older boomers used online websites in their home search, only 70 percent of the silent generation - those ages 69 to 89 years - did the same. Older boomers used a mobile device at over half the rate of millennials (21 percent compared to 58 percent). When it comes to website listing features, photos and online property information were more important to millennials, while virtual tours and direct contact with a real estate agent were more important to baby boomers. Despite visual content growing in popularity and importance, older home buyers found virtual tours more useful than younger buyers. All buyers typically spent 10 weeks looking for a home, whereas millennials, members of generation X and the silent generations typically spent 8 weeks looking for a
home. Younger and older boomers typically searched for 10 weeks. The Real Estate in a Digital Age report also found greater technology use by Realtors and real estate firms to serve the needs of clients. Realtors prefer to communicate with their clients via email (93 percent) as well as text messages (92 percent) and instant messaging (37 percent). Over 90 percent of Realtors are also using email, laptops/desktop computers, and smartphones daily. “Realtors continue to find ways to make home buying and selling more efficient and accessible for their clients. “As technology use continues to transform and modernize the real estate industry, Realtors are focused on adapting to and remaining at the forefront of this change,” Smaby said. Social media continues to be popular with Realtors, with 76 percent of females active on social media compared to 72 percent of males. Facebook and LinkedIn are the

most utilized social media platforms among Realtors (at 97 percent and 59 percent, respectively) compared to Instagram at 39 percent. The top technology tools that provide the highest quality of leads are social media (47 percent), MLS suite (32 percent), a brokerage’s website (29 percent) and a listing aggregator site (29 percent), according to the report. Realtors found that the three most valuable technology tools used in their business, excluding email and cell phones, were local MLS websites/apps (64 percent), lockbox/smart key devices (39 percent), and social media platforms (28 percent). Nearly 50 percent of all real estate firms cited keeping up with technology as one of the biggest challenges they face in the next two years. For commercial firms, 46 percent cite keeping up with technology as a challenge, while 51 percent of firms with three or more offices said the same. The report looked at the use of drones in real estate and found that 5 percent of Realtors personally use drones, while 23 percent hire a professional, and 17 percent said that someone in their office uses drones.

Keeping your home well maintained will save money
Buying a house can be a thrilling adventure. Staying on top of routine home maintenance? Not so much. Still, having a maintenance plan is the smart thing to do because it will save you money. During the winter, for example, pipes can freeze and poorly maintained furnaces can go out, leading to really expensive headaches. Experts typically recommend that you put aside 1 percent of your home’s purchase price per year for maintenance expenses. For a $300,000 house, that’s $3,000. Divvying up home maintenance tasks by season can help spread out costs and keep things more manageable so you don’t get overwhelmed, says Dan DiClerico, home expert at HomeAdvisor, a home services platform that matches professionals to homeowners.
Here’s a checklist of home maintenance tasks for each season, as well as items to tackle monthly. Monthly to-do items Check and test smoke and carbon monoxide alarms. Snake and clean all drains as necessary — tubs, showers and sinks. Check heating, ventilation and air conditioning, or HVAC, filters and change, if necessary. Clean your dishwasher screen to get rid of trapped food particles that can block water flow and affect efficiency. Wash out and disinfect trash cans to avoid odors and bugs. Examine utility bills for major spikes in usage. Winter Inspect the roof, gutters and downspouts for damage or debris after snow storms. Check the

Ensure all electrical holiday decorations have tight connections and that any exterior decorations are labeled for outdoor use only. Clean the kitchen exhaust hood and air filter of build-up. Check your water heater for leaks and pressure issues. Consider installing a leak detector to prevent costly flooding damage. Eliminate any ice dams on the roof after a snow a big freeze. Spring Check for damage to your roof from winter storms. Get your roof inspected after major storms or hail to check for damage. Blow out your sprinkler systems and restart outdoor water sources.

Examine exterior siding for chips or damage, and repair as needed. Check window and door locks to ensure they lock properly. Check your home for water leaks and/or damage. Dehumidify your home. Keeping your home’s humidity to 30 to 50 percent consistently can keep the growth of moisture-loving dust mites and mold at bay. Fall Drain sprinkler systems and other outdoor water sources and cover outdoor pipes to prevent freezing. Mow and rake your lawn, and winterize your garden.
