Chris helps the firm's clients understand the role demographics play in shaping the demand for housing in the short and long term, as well as demographics' impact on the overall economy. Along with CEO John Burns, Chris co-authored Big Shifts Ahead: Demographic Clarity for Businesses, written to help executives make sense of the seemingly confusing topic of demographics, which is such a big driver of demand. Chris is based in Orange County, California, where he lives with his wife and three young daughters.
In this episode, Tyler and Chris’ discussion focused on how understanding often unclear demographic trends can lead to better predictions about the future. They went in-depth on the effect that COVID-19 has had on numerous demographic trends, including different life stages and generations, retail consumption, interpersonal relationships, immigration, migration, technological advancements and the economy.
They also talked about the four biggest influencers of demographic trends, Big Shifts Ahead’s concept of Surban™ areas, the government stimulus, redefining prime real estate, Chris’ take on the current and future housing market, how society adapts to challenging circumstances and more. Elevate Nation can expect an informative show that clarifies confusing and conflicting demographics!
