Conference Call to Examine Outlook for Multifamily Housing

A conference call next week will provide insights from a leading analyst of multifamily housing into where the industry is headed at a time of weakening demand.

In examining prospects for the multifamily business over the next six months, Ron Witten, president of Witten Advisors, will discuss, among other things, whether the higher vacancy rates and slow absorption rates of this year’s first quarter will persist for the rest of the year.

He will also offer his outlook for selected hot markets over the next six months.

The conference call, which is scheduled for June 26 at 4:00 p.m. EST, will be the first in the Multifamily Leadership Board Conference Call series.
