Economic Outlook 2025: Navigating Momentum and Global Challenges

The U.S. economy heads into 2025 with steady momentum, bolstered by robust consumer confidence, easing inflation, and stable financial markets. With real disposable income up 3.1% and a 22.5% rise in the S&P 500 in 2024, consumer spending is projected to grow by 2% to 4%. These factors, coupled with falling interest rates and strong corporate earnings, are positioning the U.S. for continued growth despite global uncertainties.


Key Economic Indicators for 2025

Consumer Strength Fuels Growth

Consumers remain the cornerstone of the U.S. economy, benefiting from gains in wealth, income, and house prices, which rose 6.8% in 2024. This financial resilience supports increased consumer spending and provides a solid foundation for economic stability.

Corporate Confidence Rekindles Hiring

Although job growth slowed in 2024, a favorable economic climate is expected to reignite hiring in 2025. Businesses and households are largely insulated from the full effects of high interest rates due to fixed-rate mortgages and corporate debt secured during the pandemic.


Policy & Market Influences

Government Spending and Regulation

The Infrastructure & Jobs Act of 2021 continues to boost construction, while increased defense spending supports U.S. manufacturing. The avoidance of tax hikes and prospects of lighter regulations in select sectors further bolster economic confidence.

Financial Sector Stability

The U.S. banking sector has strengthened its resilience, reducing the likelihood of a financially led recession. Low consumer loan delinquency rates and reductions in the federal funds rate will further support growth.


Global Risks and Challenges

China’s Economic Slowdown

China’s recession poses the largest global risk, with weak consumer spending and a collapsing housing market threatening emerging markets reliant on Chinese demand for raw materials. While government stimulus is underway, its effectiveness remains uncertain.

European Market Pressures

Germany faces weak demand for manufactured exports, though falling inflation and low unemployment may trigger a consumer recovery.

Strong Dollar Impact

The U.S. dollar’s appreciation by 12% since 2019 challenges U.S. exporters and emerging markets with dollar-denominated debts, potentially limiting global economic recovery.

Federal Budget Deficit

The growing federal deficit could lead to prolonged higher interest rates and mortgage costs. Tariffs on foreign goods, proposed by the re-elected Trump administration, aim to mitigate this issue but lack a clear long-term strategy.


Real Estate Implications

For decades, economic and real estate cycles have been closely linked. Despite recent decoupling, the U.S. economy’s mid-cycle status—with low levels of corporate and consumer debt—suggests the beginning of a new real estate cycle. Tenant demand and falling vacancy rates are expected to drive this resurgence.

Sector Correlation

  • The real estate sector, spanning office, industrial, retail, and multifamily, benefits directly from economic momentum.
  • Declining unemployment and easing vacancy rates point to strengthened demand across asset classes.

Mega Trends to Watch in 2025

Technology Advancements

Expect rapid adoption of artificial intelligence, transforming industries like medicine and logistics. Tech leasing will see a revival, while the growing demand for data centers and a resurgence of nuclear power shape the future.

Labor Market Shifts

Reduced migration amidst tight labor markets may strain industries like construction, agriculture, and hospitality, further emphasizing the need for workforce innovation.

Globalization Reappraisal

The pandemic’s supply chain disruptions have prompted governments to rethink globalization. Potential increases in tariffs and capital controls could reshape international trade and investment patterns.
