Bruce Norris: BEYOND UNCHARTED - 2026 Live Real Estate Report
2026-02-07 | CA
Bruce Norris, founder of The Norris Group and one of the most respected real estate market-timing experts in California, is releasing a major new forecast in Ontario, CA on February 7, 2026:
“Beyond Uncharted: What’s Next Has Never Happened.”
This presentation marks the 20th anniversary of Bruce’s influential California Crash forecast — a report that helped investors recognize major inflection points well before they became widely understood.
Why This Matters for LA South REIA Members
For more than 30 years, Bruce Norris has been known for his data-driven approach to analyzing real estate cycles, often identifying emerging risks and opportunities before they surface in the mainstream.
This upcoming forecast goes far beyond simple price predictions. Bruce examines how today’s unprecedented convergence of forces — including historic affordability constraints, rising consumer and government debt, shifting buyer demographics, regulatory change, and AI-driven disruption — may reshape California real estate in ways we have never experienced before.
For investors, this type of forward-looking analysis can be invaluable when refining strategy, managing risk, and positioning portfolios for the next market cycle.
