REALTOR® EXPO Opening Luncheon
2010 C.A.R. Housing Market Forecast Luncheon
Presented by Leslie Appleton-Young
As 2009 heads to a close, the California real estate market remains one of sharp contrasts. Prices in distressed markets are showing signs of bottoming, as unprecedented demand for highly discounted distressed properties outpaces supply.  Sales, however, are being constrained by a severe shortage of listings.  At the higher end of the price spectrum, financing challenges for jumbo loans coupled with unrealistic seller expectations are keeping activity muted.  Looking ahead to 2010, both the length of the current recession and the outlook for regulatory and legislative remedies are key unknowns. 

Where is the market headed and what are the emerging opportunities out there for REALTORS®?  Prepare for the year ahead by joining C.A.R. Chief Economist Leslie Appleton-Young for the 2010 Housing Market Forecast, where she will share valuable information and insights about California’s housing market, including projected home sales, median prices, housing affordability, and mortgage rates and availability.

Life Would Be Easy If It Weren't For Other People
Presented by Connie Podesta
Let's admit it — sometimes people and situations can be just “slightly” challenging.  Understanding how to communicate effectively during these challenging moments in life can make or break a deal, determine outcomes, and affect our ability to achieve the success we desire, the happiness we seek, and the professional and personal life we deserve. There is no one more qualified to help you understand the fascinating world of human behavior than Connie Podesta.  Connie's amazing insights and entertaining, no-nonsense style will help you learn more about yourself and about how you handle relationships with other people (including a few who "drive us crazy").  She will empower you with the knowledge you need to be wiser, healthier, happier and richer personally & professionally. Now isn't life getting easier already?
