Registration Open for Spring Construction Forecast Conference

Registration is now open online for the 2009 Spring NAHB Construction Forecast Conference. During the daylong Conference, held on Thursday, April 23, at the National Housing Center 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 via webcast, will discuss key questions including:

• How will the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 stimulate the economy and spur new residential construction?
• How will the mortgage markets change?
• Will some regions see an earlier recovery?
• When will the housing market reach bottom?

The CFC's panel of expert speakers, including NAHB's new Chief Economist David Crowe, will look at the national and regional markets, the state of the mortgage finance industry and housing prices.

The panels include:

• NAHB Economic and Housing Forecast: David Crowe, NAHB
• The National Outlook : Maury Harris, UBS (invited); James Glassman, JP Morgan Chase
• Regional Patterns: Mark Zandi, Moody’s Economy.com; Bernard Markstein, NAHB
