State of the Market: What does 2025 hold in store for Bay Area residential, commercial and retail markets?
Join us at One Market Restaurant on February 11 from 11:45 am - 1:30 pm for an in-depth discussion on recent and anticipated trends in the region’s residential, commercial, and retail real estate markets.
How are hybrid work trends, interest rate uncertainty, and the growth of AI companies affecting office demand, housing choices, and retail activity? What does this mean for commercial leasing and overall market stability? How do trends vary across the region? Are we approaching a “new normal,” or is further disruption ahead?
Three leading brokers will share their insights on today’s market dynamics and what to expect in the foreseeable future.
