If you opted out of attending Future Place this year, you missed out on some golden nuggets. Great friends, new connections, luxury accommodations, housing market updates, a deep dive into Master Planned Communities (MPCs) and a look into the future of housing. Here are some highlights: 🌟 “Trails are important, but make sure they have synergy. Connecting the trails to the schools gives kids a chance to ride their bikes to school.” Jake Wagner, Co-CEO, Republic Property Group 🌟 MPCs should have useful spaces. A big welcome center or clubhouse isn’t beneficial if it’s not a space where homeowners congregate. 🌟 People retire where they vacation. 🌟 Make space for rentals and Build-to-Rent in MPCs. This has proven prevalent in Florida and Texas’ top MPCs. 🌟 100% of the rental inventory in Sunterra is Build-to-Rent. 🌟 “Diversity is needed in MPCs. Otherwise, you end up selling price instead of selling value.” Zac Thompson, President, HistoryMaker Homes 🌟 Town centers and retail space in a MPC should have walkability and bring people together. If there’s space for the babies and the dogs, then you did it right. 🌟 Invest in the big, expensive, 40-year-old trees. It makes a difference. Alison Williams, Partner, Of Place 🌟 3D-Printed Homes are quick, quiet (and oh-so-cool!) and print 24 hours a day, even while the neighbors are sleeping in their homes next door. Graeme Waitzkin, COO, Icon 🌟 Gen Y and Baby Boomers represent the highest percentage of buyers shopping for a new home. 🌟 Dallas & Houston, respectively, remain the Top Housing Markets based on housing starts volume. Dallas beat Houston for the #1 spot in 2016 and has been holding steady. #Zonda #FuturePlace #HousingMarket Ali Wolf Kimberly Byrum (formerly Fiala) Keith Hughes Kyle Cheslock Tim Sullivan Mollie Carmichael

We've had an incredible time in Texas at #FuturePlace where we welcomed 300 of the top builders, developers and partners in the industry! The discussions, insights, and data shared will leave us inspired long after Tim Sullivan's closing remarks. Here are some key takeaways from sessions featuring Zonda experts: 🔑 Economic Outlook for Housing:  Ali Wolf instilled confidence that interest rates will decrease, shared compelling insights on millennials and boomers, and highlighted the enduring fundamental demand in the market. 🔑 Insights from Winning Master Plans:  Mollie Carmichael highlighted winning master planned communities, which we learned have to have village structures to thrive. And, remember –– people retire where they vacation. 🔑 Delta Shifts: Understanding Rent Dynamics in MPCs Kimberly Byrum (formerly Fiala) shared insights on multifamily in master plans and confirmed that there's a premium for multifamily housing in these developments. If we create the place, we'll get the value back. We hope to see you again next year! Save the date for Future Place 2025, happening October 27-29 at the Ritz-Carlton, Las Colinas in Irving, TX.
