	UCLA Anderson Forecast and The Ziman Center for Real Estate present
	JUNE 2008 ECONOMIC OUTLOOK + REAL ESTATE CONFERENCE
	What Will it Take to Get Real Estate Moving Again?
	Ackerman Grand Ballroom (map) Wednesday, June 18, 2008 7:00am - 12:00pm

	Overview
	A hot housing market just a few years ago gave us very high rates of appreciation, easy access to mortgages, lots of buying and lots of building. Today we have the complete opposite: declining home prices, troubled finance, skyrocketing foreclosures, very little buying and very little building. When is the bottom going to occur and what will get Real Estate healthy again? Should our government focus their attention on foreclosures, on new mortgages, on builders or buyers? Which government interventions will make things better, and which will make things worse?

	In what ways is this Credit/Housing Recession different from previous downturns What will it take to loosen the mortgage market credit crunch? Will it take more than an accelerating economy to reverse the tsunami of foreclosures and turn the housing market around? Will intervention from Washington help or hurt? What is the impact of the credit crunch on commercial valuations? What are the early warning signs that the bottom of this capital markets cycle is near?
