The 2026 CCIM Commercial Real Estate Forecast Compe­tition scheduled for Thursday, February 5, provides one of the best opportunities to learn about the many factors affect­ing Houston’s complex real es­tate marketplace.

The annual CCIM Forecast has become one of Houston’s best attended events for commer­cial real estate professionals. Attendees will hear seasoned industry leaders discuss market conditions as well as earn four (4) hours of CE credit.

Future market trends are predicted with a debate-style com­petition by local experts in various commercial property types, including office, retail, industrial, land, and multi-family. In addition to brokers discuss­ing market conditions, the economic picture for the re­gion and state will be presented by Lonnie Hendry, CRE in a keynote address at noon.

Although the CCIM Forecast event is billed as a competition, the event is more about a shared perspective. The present­ers typically agree on most substan­tive points. But having two presenters approach the same topic from different perspectives provides additional insight into a large, complex set of markets. One presenter may be more op­timistic and the other perhaps more pessimistic, but the format creates a conversation that describes the markets in more de­tail than a matrix of market metrics and prognostications.

Make plans now to attend the CCIM Forecast Competition and gain the knowledge to make better business decisions in the Houston and Texas Gulf Coast commercial real estate marketplace.
