It’s hard to get a handle on where the real estate market is going, but for managers responsible for their companies’ relocation programs, up-to-date knowledge is critical. While there have been many positive signs lately, there are many factors that continue to play a significant role in what we’ll be seeing going forward. Among them are interest rates, mortgage trends, the levels of foreclosures and short sales, and the emerging questions of not just current, but shadow inventory, as well as the effect of man-made disasters.  This session will discuss how these elements affect the real estate market and how they impact your relocation program.

Attendees will learn:
1) The role the recovering economy plays on the market
2) Mortgage trends important to home sale programs
3) The emerging issue of shadow inventory
4) How the oil spill in the Gulf may affect your relocation program
5) Steps your employees can take to be manage the current market conditions
