3. Current Trends in the Real Estate Sector U.S. real estate is a particular focus of interest for many investment professionals in 2013. Demographic analysis suggests that the slow pace of new home construction over the past several years is likely to result in a shortfall of available units in the near future. Inventories are currently below the six-month supply of homes for sale that analysts associate with a healthy market. For this reason, many professionals are expecting home prices to increase in the 5 percent range over the course of the year.real estate
