About Us
Talk About Housing is an online destination dedicated to exploring trends in residential real estate, affordable housing, and more. Led by Fernando Pages, Talk About Housing sets out to gather the best in the business to host events, write editorial content, and drive the discussion around residential real estate in the 21st century. Whether you are a builder, investor, policymaker, or even a layman, Talk About Housing invites you to join this conversation.
Established B2B publishers dominated the discussion around residential real estate until recently, but have struggled to adapt in recent times. This has left talented professionals alone to navigate an uncertain landscape and damaged the long-standing sense of community in the space.
