NAHB Teleconference Looks at What’s Ahead for Housing
Along with members of the news media, professionals in the home building industry will be able to listen to Jerry Howard, NAHB’s vice president and CEO, and David Seiders, the association’s chief economist, discuss the direction of the housing market, the overall economy and policy issues in a year-end housing forecast conference.
The teleconference will take place on Thursday, Dec. 20 at 2:00 p.m. ET.
Among the questions under discussion:
- Will 2008 see the beginning of a housing recovery?
- How are builders faring in the current housing market?
- Do more major economic challenges lie ahead?
- What role do policy issues play in the housing turnaround?
In the year-end call, Seiders will discuss the role of housing on the overall economy and will share his housing forecast for 2008 and beyond. Howard will cover the builder member perspective and will discuss how political issues will affect the housing market.
Members of the media will ask questions at the conclusion of the call.
