In 2008 New York City real estate executives are questioning how long—and how severe—the national economic slowdown will be on New York, and the long-term impact of the capital markets dislocation on their day-to-day business. With a record $47 billion in investment sales activity in 2007, industry executives watched as less than one billion traded hands in Q1 of this year. What’s in store for 2008? And 2009? Could the infusion of foreign capital, due to the record low (and falling dollar) be a significant driver of new activity? How will deals get done in the coming year? What are the alternative financing solutions available in today’s climate?
RealShare New York will present panels of expert speakers to address the current market uncertainty, and the challenges and opportunities that exist in this questionable time period.

Developers are likewise looking for new areas to exercise their skills and real estate consultants see vast new markets in need of developed Western techniques.
There’s a window of opportunity in the new Europe that the early movers are taking advantage of. Learn how they are benefiting from the area’s rapid changes to combine new sources of profits with diversification and good management of risk.
