Our lives changed forever from this whole experience of the government’s declaration of a national emergency, leading to forced shutdowns of businesses and schools, mandated mask wearing, forcing 6-foot distances between people, travel restrictions, fear mongering with case and death counts, and forced vaccines/boosters. Real GDP was +3.2%

Housing markets have begun to improve with the national indices showing year-over-year growth of 3% to 4% recently. We have a long way to go before recapturing the home price highs of 2006 and 2007, but it is a start. The tax bracket changes become permanent and that will allow planning to resume.

Maybe it is nationally, but Bucks County (PA) has yet to participate. We should all be so lucky.

Some interesting finalists would be: M&T and People’s United Old National and First Midwest Webster and Sterling Columbia Bank and Umpqua. Congrats on a brave move and national recognition Jim! Chuck Snyder, chief executive of National Cooperative Bank (NCB). From nowhere, sizable regional players are being created.

Many businesses remain uncertain due to the increased regulatory burden, the drama in the insurance markets due to Obamacare, income tax changes, and a still high unemployment rate at 7%, which serves to keep personal incomes in check and consumer spending under wraps. Just saying. Thanks for reading and Happy New Year!
