Larry Hoag Center for Real Estate and Finance, The George L. Argyros School of Business and Economics at Chapman University and the University of Southern California Sol Price School of Public Policy, today announced the conference to be held Monday, June 3, from 8:00 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. at Disney's Grand Californian Hotel & Spa at the Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, Calif. Featuring an unparalleled list of industry thought leaders, including California historian Dr. Kevin Starr, architectural historian and urban planning critic Robert Bruegmann and presidential fellow in urban futures at Chapman University, Joel Kotkin, this day-long conference will provide an information packed and dynamic environment for dialogue on today's urban landscape for Orange County's shapers: architects and planners, home builders, real estate professionals and urban planning policy leaders.
Southern California Home Prices Soar in March
As reported by the Associated Press on April 17, Southern California home prices soared in March amidst low inventory levels. The report quotes John Walsh, president of real estate industry research firm, DataQuick, "It's remarkable how much the housing scene has changed in a year. At this point in 2012 there were still plenty of folks sitting on the market's sidelines, waiting to be sure the recovery was real."
The question for Orange County's architects and planners, home builders, real estate professionals and urban planning policy leaders is, "How will our industries lead the rebirth of the local residential market in light of new demographic shifts, anticipated changes in mortgage financing laws, and California's political and historical landscape?" This multi-faceted question is what the No Place Like Home Conference will seek to address.
The No Place Like Home Conference features nationally recognized and respected speakers and panelists representing several submarkets tied to Southern California's real estate market including but not limited to:
• Kevin Starr - Pre-eminent California historian, author of California: A History and Golden Dreams: California in an Age of Abundance, 1950-1963.
• Robert Bruegmann - Historian and critic of architecture, landscape, preservation, urban development and the built environment and author of Sprawl: A Compact History.
