Looking back at 2015, the US economy performed relatively well while emerging markets and Europe experienced weakness: China\u2019s GDP growth slowed from the targeted 7.5% to 6.9%; Europe\u2019s recovery remained sluggish throughout the year with extremely high levels of unemployment at 10.7%.<\/p>\n
According to Zillow, aggregate US home values grew by 4.1% year-on-year to an estimated $28.5 trillion. The decrease in the number of homes listed for sale and availability of cheap mortgages are among the factors boosting housing prices; however, the real estate market is full of uncertainty in 2016. The Fed raised rates in December for the first time in nearly a decade which, although signals confidence in the U.S. recovery, may limit the demand in the housing market as the cost of borrowing increases.<\/p>\n
