Growth is happening right now in Augusta, at Fort Gordon this year alone 1,500 jobs were available but in the next two years we welcome Cyber command. With Cyber command comes more housing construction, more restaurants and more shopping. The major aggregate demand and supply will be the rise in the housing market. House prices are determined by supply and demand, which by 2017 there will be an excess of new home-buyer’s in our city.
An increase in the housing market will let home builders know that there is a higher demand for homes which will cause an increase in home production. This will lead to jobs as well as an increase in prices as builders require commodities. With the purchase of new homes consumers may purchase other consumer goods, like ovens, refrigerators and furniture which will boost the economy.
