Housing Symposium

The Fresno Housing Symposium is hosted by the Fresno Association of REALTORS® in collaboration with the Gazarian Real Estate Center at California State University, Fresno.

We will bring together leading experts, policymakers, and industry professionals to explore the dynamics shaping our regional housing market. This symposium will dive into critical topics such as housing supply challenges, spatial variations, and growth patterns within the Fresno/Clovis Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA). Together, we’ll examine how these factors influence affordability, development, and the future of housing in our evolving community.

We are honored to feature Oscar Wei, Deputy Chief Economist with the California Association of REALTORS®, who will share key insights into market trends and data shaping California’s housing outlook. Following his address, our distinguished speaker panel — including Councilmember Tyler Maxwell, Ryan De Young, George Gonzalez, and Patty Grissom — will offer diverse perspectives on how local policies, planning efforts, and financial frameworks can help meet the region’s housing needs.

This discussion is designed to foster collaboration, spark innovation, and move us toward solutions for a stronger, more sustainable housing future in the Central Valley.

Let’s get started on this important conversation about building homes, communities, and opportunities for all.
