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:


Attendees will also have opportunities to meet and talk with panelists during the conference.
