Thank you to everyone who joined us at this year's Spring Breakfast, and a special thanks to our sponsors and our wonderful keynote speaker—Chief Economist for Zonda and housing expert Ali Wolf—for making the event such a great success! After two years of virtual events, we were thrilled to be back in person. Ali explained the current trends of the national and local housing market, and spoke to what the future of housing might look like in Utah. She was also joined by CEO of RCLCO Fund Advisors, Taylor Mammen, for a fireside chat where the audience had the opportunity to ask specific questions about housing.
