I will be looking at the ratio of New Private Housing Units Authorized by Building Permits for Seattle-Tacoma-Bellevue, WA compared to the All Employees: Total Nonfarm in Seattle-Tacoma-Bellevue, WA (MSA) number.
Currently at market creation (2023/9/1) that number is:
2,166.2 (thousands) of employees
vs
1,181.74244 units
The ratio is:
1.834
At market close I will be looking at the latest FRED information for this data again as a proxy to see how housing growth is keeping pace with job growth.
If the ratio is LOWER at close this market resolves YES.
Otherwise this market resolves NO.
