| Dear Members and Friends of CASIA, As we head into the holiday season, I’m excited to share something I think we could all use right about now, a chance to step away from the day-to-day, enjoy each other’s company, and celebrate everything we’ve accomplished this year. Our CASIA Holiday Party is coming up on December 11th, and I truly hope you’ll join us. This year we’re gathering at a brand-new location, Carmine’s di Vega in New Haven, and we couldn’t be more thrilled about it! |
|
|
The move to a new venue is a direct reflection of something worth celebrating on its own. CASIA is growing! Your continued support, involvement, and energy have helped us expand our reach, strengthen our programming, and bring more professionals into our association. With that growth comes bigger opportunities and, yes, bigger celebrations!
This Holiday Party is our moment to enjoy the wins of the year. It’s a night to connect with fellow members, spend time with industry friends, and leave the business talk at the door, at least for a few hours. And we’re adding something extra this year! Guests will be treated to surprise entertainment, so trust me when I say you won’t want to miss what we have planned. So here’s my ask: Register Now and don't forget to bring an unwrapped toy, game, or clothing item (details below)!
Spots are limited, and we want to make sure everyone who wants to attend has a seat at the table. Whether you’ve been with CASIA for years or you’ve joined recently, this is the perfect event to plug in, meet great people, and celebrate the season as part of the association.
I’m proud of what we’ve built together this year, and I’m grateful for the community that makes CASIA strong. I can’t wait to see you on December 11th at Carmine’s di Vega as we celebrate our success, our growth, and the holidays! |

Research Insights from Zonda: |

"New home sales are in a holding pattern The central question facing many prospective homebuyers today is one of timing and confidence: Is now the right time to buy? For many, the answer appears to be “maybe not.” New home sales were largely flat month-over-month and year-over-year in October, reflecting a market where consumers want, or even need, to buy, but are waiting to see how conditions evolve.
This leads to an equally important question for the housing industry: What conditions will give consumers enough confidence to jump back into the market? The answer comes down to some degree of stability across three categories: the job market, mortgage rates, and prices, along with a meaningful improvement in housing affordability. 'The holding pattern we are seeing today from prospective buyers is tied to economic anxieties and the job market,' said Ali Wolf, chief economist for Zonda and NewHomeSource. 'While this makes for a tricky backdrop today, demographics and deferrals provide a nice setup to a stronger market once macro factors stabilize and consumer confidence returns.'" |
