"The Future of Housing: What's Next for Housing Demand, Mortgage Finance, and Recovery" Scheduled for April 18 at the Knight Conference Center at the Newseum®

What:   

While the housing recovery has been rather uneven across the country, most metros have seen a bottom in home values and are experiencing some form of home value appreciation. But such volatility can be confusing for those in the market and for policy makers whose decisions are affecting millions of home buyers, sellers and owners. So what is in store for the future of housing demand and mortgage finance? How will the role of investors evolve throughout the housing recovery?

The Forum on the Future of Housing: What's Next for Housing Demand, Mortgage Finance, and Recovery will bring together an esteemed group of national real estate experts, influencers and policy makers to discuss the dynamics that will drive the market in 2013 and beyond.
