I SURVIVED REAL ESTATE 2025

Industry insiders focus on what's ahead for 2025-2026

The Norris Group Presents: The 18th Annual I Survived Real Estate – LIVE at the Nixon Presidential Library

We’re back! The Norris Group’s award-winning black-tie gala, I Survived Real Estate, returns for its 18th year—LIVE from the Nixon Presidential Library. Since 2008, this event has raised over $1 million for Make-A-Wish, and we’re not slowing down.

This year’s backdrop?


 A California housing market still starved for inventory, mortgage rates hovering above comfort zones, affordability hitting generational lows, inflation and tariffs. Add in global uncertainty, sticky inflation, and the ever-watchful eye of the Federal Reserve—and you’ve got a landscape full of questions.

  • Inventory Drought: California’s housing supply remains critically low
  • Rate Pressure: Mortgage rates linger well above buyer comfort zones
  • Priced Out: Affordability has collapsed to generational lows
  • Global Tensions: War, tariffs, and instability rattle investor confidence
  • Inflation’s Grip: Costs remain stubbornly high, squeezing margins
  • Tariff Troubles: Rising import costs could ripple through construction and development
  • All Eyes on the Fed: Every rate hint could send shockwaves through the market

As always, our expert panel will feature some of the brightest minds in economics, investing, and housing, ready to tackle challenges we didn’t even know we’d have to face—and to help us all prepare for what’s next.

Leading up to the event, The Norris Group Podcast will spotlight both local and national voices shaping the market. If you’re a real estate investor, 2025 is not the year to sit back and watch—it’s a year to be engaged, informed, and ready.

I Survived Real Estate was born out of a crisis. Our mission remains: to unite thought leaders, serve a meaningful cause, and prepare our industry to navigate whatever comes next.
