Land and Deliver; Zonda Advisory VP Mark Zawistoski Speaks at BuildRight


Featured afternoon Keynote Mark Zawistoski, VP of Zonda Advisory updated attendees and select elected officials on the current state of real estate, development and home construction to close out the recent BuildRight conference at McMenamins Kennedy School.

Mr. Zawistoki’s presentation highlighted the high demand, low inventory situation that residential construction and real estate finds itself in the Portland Metro area and the nation. Going beyond the numbers, he highlighted the role land use, regulations, and permitting timelines have on the housing market including an overview of the decision making process inherent in the creation of housing from development through financing and ending in construction.

Rather than the traditional “where have we been and where are we going forecast”, Mr. Zawistoki offered a snapshot of the current housing market focusing on data that points to the difficulties we are experiencing and offering an idea of where we need to focus our efforts for change.
