Presenters: Richard Green, director of the Lusk Center for Real Estate at the University of Southern California; Glenn E. Crellin, director of the Washington Center for Real Estate Research at Washington State University; and Jack Kyser, chief economist, Los Angeles County Economic Development Corporation. Moderator: Leslie Appleton-Young, chief economist, C.A.R.
The recession appears to be slowing, and possibly even coming to an end as the state’s median home price rises month over month, the stock market rebounds, lenders return TARP money, and loan servicers modify record-numbers of home loans.  However, escalating job losses, rising mortgage rates, and depressing sales figures in the retail sector, continue to plague the economy.  So just what will be the new normal and what will recovery mean in 2010?

Join C.A.R. Vice President and Chief Economist Leslie Appleton-Young and a panel of renowned economists as the experts weigh in on these and other critical issues. Panelists include: Richard Green, director of the Lusk Center for Real Estate at the University of Southern California; Glenn E. Crellin, director of the Washington Center for Real Estate Research at Washington State University; and Jack Kyser, chief economist, Los Angeles County Economic Development Corporation.
