Fourth Quarter and Beyond Economic Seminar
The last of a series of economic/financial based seminars brought to you by the Education Committee and the Associates’ Council. The market is improving, but how will consumer trends and confidence affect our local market?
Keynote Speaker: David Crowe, Chief Economist and Senior Vice President at the
National Association of Home Builders (NAHB). Dr. Crowe is responsible for NAHB’s forecast of housing and economic trends, survey research and analysis of the home building industry and consumer preferences as well as microeconomic analysis of government policies that affect housing.
Dr. Crowe is also responsible for the development and implementation of an innovative model of the local economic impact and fiscal cost of new home construction, which has estimated the net impact of new housing in over 500 local markets. Past research has concentrated on home ownership trends, tax issues, demographics, government mortgage insurance, local land use ordinance impacts and the impacts of housing on local economies.
