## Resource

The residential market is shifting fast, and Diana O’ Lare and Mollie Carmichael of Zonda Homes break down what’s driving it—from rising rates and affordability pressures to the surge in build‑for‑rent, active adult, and multigenerational living—while highlighting the regions outperforming expectations, the looming boomer wealth transfer reshaping demand, and the policy ideas that could finally move the needle on affordability, giving engineering firms a clear view of what’s coming next.
