| DESCRIPTION:
The 2026 housing market is defined by a persistent stalemate driven by affordability pressures, elevated mortgage rates, and constrained supply, with inflation, labor‑market softness, and rate volatility shaping buyer capacity and confidence. National trends show modest sales gains, but activity remains below normal, while regional divergence has intensified—Northeast and Midwest markets stay tight and resilient, whereas the South and West are softer and more price‑sensitive. California stands out with higher prices, stronger sales, and exceptionally low inventory, fueled in part by luxury‑market demand and AI‑sector growth in the Bay Area. Construction has slowed nationwide, limiting relief to supply, and builders face high costs and weaker demand. Overall, the market is moving, but affordability, locking, and uneven regional dynamics continue to constrain both buyers and sellers.

Instructor: Jacinto A. Munoz, MAI, SRA, AI-GRS, AI-RRS
Appraisers recognize that they have regulatory obligations but understanding which ones apply when doing federally related and real estate related lender work is challenging. A review of sanctions and disciplinary actions taken against appraisers by the Bureau of Real Estate Appraisers makes it clear that many details and nuances of the appraiser laws and regulations are being misunderstood. Common, unintentional errors impact both the reputations of individual appraisers as well as confidence in the competency and ethics of the appraisal profession. This seminar is designed to help you recognize and understand the laws and regulations most important to appraisers practicing in California.
