Economic Forecast Meets Real-World Planning at CAI-OC’s April Educational Luncheon
April 10, 2025 Racheal Solomon, DeNichilo Law, APC
CAI-OC’s April Educational Luncheon drew a full house for an engaging and timely program: an economic update for 2025 and how it may impact our industry. With expert insights from Dr. Raymond Sfeir, Director at the A. Gary Anderson Center for Economic Research and the Argyros School of Business and Economics at Chapman University, and Ms. Genae Affrunti, Senior Vice President/Investments and Senior Financial Consultant at Capital Reserve Group, Comerica Financial Advisors, the presenters explained complex economic trends and forecasts for the United States, California, and Orange County economies.
The presenters discussed historic and real-time shifts related to interest rates, infl ation, and the potential economic impacts of higher tariffs and immigration policies by the Trump administration. Following this broad economic overview, the discussion was skillfully narrowed to focus on the practical implications for California’s real estate market and, more specifi cally, association investments. While the presenters emphasized that there is no crystal ball when it comes to predicting the economy, they expressed hope that short-term fl uctuations and disruptions could ultimately pave the way for long-term stability and growth.
Overall, the luncheon successfully connected high-level fi nancial forecasting with real-world decision- making and investment considerations related to our industry. Attendees left with insights not only into national and regional economic shifts, but also how to potentially apply that knowledge to their associations, businesses, and personal fi nancial planning and portfolios.
Want to hear what your industry peers thought and how they are planning ahead in light of the economic forecast? Keep an eye out for the full article featuring expert highlights and candid feedback from CAI attendees. It’s a must-read for anyone looking to understand how others are strategically preparing for what is ahead.
