The
questions on everyone’s minds as we look to what’s
in store for 2008 are:
• How difficult will the real estate market get and
when will things start to get better?
• What are the bright spots and where can we expect
the market to further deteriorate?
• Will foreclosures rise and will tightening of
lending standards by banks limit the prospect of a
housing rebound anytime this year?
• How will housing slowdowns, price declines,
demographics and a possible recession impact
commercial /industrial development and
leasing/sales?
• Can we look forward to any significant relief on
property taxes and insurance?
•
How will all of this affect the market for
commercial and industrial real estate?
• Lastly, should we expect a recession or just a
lumpy soft landing?
The 2008 don’t miss program has assembled the best
ever array of stellar industry leaders, analysts,
economists and professionals to paint a picture of
what is in store for 2008, both globally and
locally.
Program Chair Lew “don’t shoot the messenger”
Goodkin – who has been forecasting these very
conditions for more than two years -- and his
committee have confirmed an exceptional palette of
experts from across the country and close to home.
Register early to assure your place at the table.
