Gaston Housing Outlook

Join the Gaston Business Association, the Home Builders Association of Greater Charlotte, and the Gaston Association of REALTORS® for the Gaston Housing Outlook, a timely and data-driven conversation about the future of housing and growth in Gaston County.

This year’s featured speaker is Dr. Lawrence Yun, Chief Economist for the National Association of REALTORS®, who will provide expert analysis on national and regional real estate trends, interest rates, housing inventory, and what economic indicators mean for our local market. His insights will help business leaders, developers, investors, and community stakeholders better understand where the housing market is headed—and how Gaston County fits into the broader picture.

Following the keynote, a distinguished local panel will explore how housing growth intersects with infrastructure, utilities, transportation, and education. Panelists include:

• Jason Wallace, Engineering Manager, Two Rivers Utilities

• Randi Gates, Director of Transportation, City of Gastonia

• Dr. Morgen Houchard, Superintendent, Gaston County Schools

Together, they will discuss the real-world impact of residential growth on our community systems and what coordinated planning means for Gaston County’s continued success.

Whether you’re in real estate, construction, finance, public policy, or simply invested in Gaston County’s future, this event offers valuable insights into one of the most important drivers of our local economy: housing.
