Get Essential Housing Analysis at Construction Forecast Conference

During the daylong NAHB Fall Construction Forecast Conference on Wednesday, Oct. 22 in Washington, D.C., nationally-recognized housing and economics experts will provide answers to the most critical questions facing the industry today.

Panelists at the conference, which will also be presented on a webcast, will discuss key questions including:

• When will the housing sector stabilize?
• Has the turmoil in the financial markets reached a turning point?
• How will builders survive a credit crunch in acquisition, development and construction financing?
• Which regions are trending upward?
• Is multifamily housing tracking a new demand curve?

Experts will discuss regional and national trends and the housing forecast, government policies, developments in the housing industry — including the government's recent action to place Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac into conservatorship — and the results from NAHB's recent surveys.

The panels include:

• NAHB Economic and Housing Forecast: David Seiders, NAHB chief economist
• The National Outlook: Maury Harris, UBS; and Michael Moran, Daiwa Securities America
• Regional Patterns: Mark Zandi, Moody’s Economy.com; and Bernard Markstein, NAHB
• Mortgage Finance: Doug Duncan, Fannie Mae; and Frank Nothaft, Freddie Mac
