If you didn’t attend this week’s West region broker breakfast, you missed a great one! Kim Miller from Loberg Construction explained the increased construction costs that the market is experiencing – most of which are tied to labor and materials shortages.

The holiday season will be critical for retail and hotels, though it is too early to tell how the travel will play out during the holidays due to the rise in Covid-19 cases.
