CREF Market Intelligence Symposium July 19-20 in New York
The Mortgage Bankers Association CREF Market Intelligence Symposium cuts through the talking-head clutter to provide hard facts about the state of commercial real estate markets–and what we do and don’t know.
The nation’s leading CRE analysts will present data-driven insights about where markets are and where they are likely to go from here. Experts will go beyond opinions to present the latest data and leading models to help attendees understand where we are in the real estate cycle, how to think about property prices in a low rate environment, what the drivers are of demand for and supply of debt, how to identify whether underwriting is tight or loose, what drives loan performance, how investors gauge success in their commercial real estate debt portfolios and more.
The symposium is presented in collaboration with New York University’s Schack Institute of Real Estate.
