Several respected and highly distinguished economists will gather and share their insights at the Florida Realtors® 2016 Real Estate Trends on Jan. 28, 2016, from 12:30 p.m. to 2:30 p.m.
"We encourage Realtors and others interested in the state's future to come to the Real Estate Trends to see what's in store this year," says 2016 Florida Realtors President, Matey H. Veissi, broker and co-owner of Veissi Associates in Miami. "Learn what trends may be developing for 2016 - the insights you'll gain could help increase your productivity, expand your network and offer future business opportunities."
According to their press in PR NewsWire, the Florida Realtors® 2016 Real Estate Trends session will serve as the highlight of the Florida Realtors' annual Mid-Winter Business Meetings, that will take place at the Renaissance Orlando at SeaWorld, 6677 Sea Harbor Drive, Orlando, Fla., 32821, starting from Jan. 27 to 31, 2016. During the session, the current housing trends will be discussed by Jonathan Smoke, chief economist for Realtor.com. On the other hand, Dr. Elliot Eisenberg, chief economist for Graphs and Laughs, LLC, and a former senior economist with the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB), will share insights on the state of new home construction and the direction of the overall economy, while Dr. Brad O'Connor, Florida Realtors' chief economist, is going to reveal what's next for Florida's residential real estate sector.
"In 2015, we saw very strong growth in both sales and prices for existing homes in Florida, particularly over the first three quarters of the year," O'Connor says. "This growth was a direct reflection of Florida's healthy rate of job creation over the past year, as well as a rising level of in-migration of residents from outside the state. We expect these positive trends in Florida's economy to continue into 2016, which is in stark contrast to much of the rest of the country, as nationwide growth in GDP and employment is expected to remain somewhat sluggish, at best."
