The annual half-day Trends in Real Estate Seminar returns next week in a new location and with a prominent keynote speaker: Lawrence Yun, the National Association of Realtors chief economist and senior vice president of research.
The Trends seminar annually sees local real estate experts provide an overview of the year that was and a forecast for various markets, including residential, industrial, multifamily, retail and office, as well as a look at the lending market. The event is presented by the Commercial & Investment Division of the Greater Baton Rouge Association of Realtors.
This year’s Trends event will take place at L’Auberge Casino & Hotel, after having been held at the BREC Independence Park Theater in recent years. The event is open to the public, and more than 700 attendees are expected this year. Continuing education credit is available for real estate agents and brokers, appraisers and builders.
“We have a strong market, and Trends is the best opportunity for people to see what the market means for their investments or potential investments,” says Walt Ketchings, 2015 Trends chairman, in a prepared release. “It’s a great way to get a comprehensive market analysis and prognosis.”
Registration is now open for the event. Tickets are $65 in advance, or $75 at the door. Through midnight Thursday, GBRAR is offering readers of Business Report and Daily Report a $10 discount on tickets. They can be purchased online here, using the promo code BIZREPORT.
