The advanced estimate for GDP showed an increase of 1.9% in the fourth quarter, a slowdown from the third quarter’s increase of 3.5%.
One expert explained that the slowdown in income growth portrayed in the report could worsen the growing home affordability problem in the housing market, and even lock some potential homeowners out of the market.
