If you’re in the real estate industry or simply want to understand the forces shaping Central Texas’ housing market, I hope you’ll make plans to join me at the Central Texas Housing Summit on Sept. 10 at the Austin Board of REALTORS® (ABoR) headquarters.
Hosted by Unlock MLS and ABoR, the Central Texas Housing Summit will be a high-impact morning packed with insights, stats, networking and announcements. Whether you are an agent, broker, investor or housing advocate, you’ll walk away with timely data, expert perspectives and plenty of tools you can use right away to elevate your business. This event is open to both ABoR members and nonmembers.
What to Expect at the Summit
This year’s event will feature a powerful lineup of speakers and panels providing insights into the region’s housing market and beyond. Doors will open at 9 a.m. with breakfast and networking to connect with peers, industry leaders and community partners. Here are some programming highlights to look forward to:
• Kicking off the main program at 9:30 a.m., you’ll hear from Danielle Hale, chief economist at Realtor.com, who will provide a national economic outlook that zooms in on what buyers and sellers can expect in the months ahead.
• Unlock MLS market research advisor Vaike O’Grady will provide an in-depth, hyperlocal look at the Central Texas housing market. She will dive into what’s shifting, what’s holding and what it all means for your clients.
• Next up will be a dynamic panel discussion on city trends and their impact on real estate. This session will bring together key voices to discuss everything from infrastructure and zoning to affordability and development.
• Attendees will also get a first look at the latest Unlock MLS Research Buy vs. Rent Index Report and have the opportunity to learn about a new and exciting ABoR member benefit.
• After the main programming ends, stick around for smaller breakout sessions with panelists and staff. This is your chance to ask questions and dive deeper into topics that interest you.
