The way it hurts ordsprog

The way it hurts is when housing prices peak and then we no longer have this wealth effect that has been driving consumer spending. And so far, housing prices are growing at double-digit rates.

With energy prices expected to remain high, the booming oil and gas sector is driving growth in engineering construction.
