  Overview
  The US real estate market continued to amaze economists through 2005. Even as real prices continue to grow at a historically unprecedented pace, investments in residential structures have remained at their record high. The frenetic pace of overall sales activity in the market has continued to keep the mortgage brokers and real estate agents flush. But there are troubling signs of a slowing market. Interest rates are on the rise, market inventory levels are starting to expand and some of the nation's hottest markets, including those here in California, are starting to turn. The stock price of many of the nation’s largest home builders have started to fall with warnings about softening profits.

Come join the UCLA Anderson Forecast as we analyze what's around the bend for California real estate.
