Demographic Data of Buyers & Sellers Explored at Joint Event
Nearly a hundred and fifty attendees were in attendance at the newly renovated Lincoln Center for a combined FCBR and CSU Everitt Real Estate Center event on April 3rd to hear from Jessica Lautz, NAR's Research Manager, as she highlighted some of the results from NAR's 2011 Home Buyers & Sellers Profile.
Lautz started by sharing date showing the dramatic increase in the number of buyers who are entering the market with a primary focus of purchasing investment properties. She would go on to share various demographic details of both buyers and sellers. You can view the slides from the presentation by clicking here. Additionally video from the presentation can be found on FCBR's Youtube page.
Dr. Martin Shield, a CSU Economist, followed up the national data by sharing some local data. Shields mostly posed questions to the audience including one that was a follow up to the data showing an increase in investment properties. The basis of his question was whether or not the local market is poised to overbuild student housing in the next few years.
Both presentations feature questions from the audience and by all accounts everyone was very impressed by the amount and types of data shared at this combined CSU & FCBR event.
