Description

This is the Home Builders and Remodelers Association's signature annual event.

Join the BRAGB & HBRACM Community in Milford, MA for a reception, dinner and keynote presentation. This event is jointly produced by the Builders and Remodelers Association of Greater Boston and the Home Builders and Remodelers Association of Central Massachusetts.

We are pleased introduce our National Association of Home Builders Chief Economist, Dr. Robert Dietz, Ph.D., who will present analysis and provide open discussion on the federal and state economies and on housing industry trends in Massachusetts for the upcoming year. 

Robert Dietz, Ph.D., is Chief Economist and Senior Vice President for Economics and Housing Policy for the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB). Dr. Dietz will provide an economic and housing forecast for 2026. His talk will cover economic issues and current policies and their effect on the economy. Expect to garner key data points on rates, trends, and forecasts for the coming year.
