2:00 p.m. ET
WHO:
- Jerry Howard, CEO, National Association of Home Builders
- David Seiders, Chief Economist, National Association of Home Builders
WHAT:
In recent weeks U.S. mortgage markets have been rocked by uncertainty, and many consumers face new challenges in obtaining financing for home purchases.
What caused the credit crunch, and how long will it last? What is the impact on home building and sales? What can—and should—be done by the Fed, regulators, Congress and the housing industry to improve liquidity in the mortgage markets?
Jerry Howard, executive vice president and chief executive officer of the National Association of Home Builders, and David Seiders, chief economist, will address these questions and more during a media teleconference. Journalists will be given the opportunity to ask questions at the conclusion of the call.
