      Future Trends in Southern California Housing

       
      What is the long-term outlook for Southern California's housing markets? Will lingering foreclosures affect the housing industry's recovery? How might changes in the region's demographics and other factors affect the types of housing built, and where?

      Steve Johnson, Director of the Southern California Region for real estate information company Metrostudy will discuss some of the many factors affecting today's housing industry and what lies ahead at the May 21 Randall Lewis Seminar. The seminar will be held at 5:30 p.m. in Conference Room E, UCR Extension building, 1200 University Ave. in Riverside. (See MAP)

      The seminar is open to the public and is free, but registration (see below) is required.

      Johnson will discuss many of the complex issues affecting housing, and some of the trends expected to shape the industry's future, including the effects of the "green" movement on design, materials, features and pricing strategies; environmental and infrastructure constraints; changes in zoning and development fees and availability of construction financing and mortgage funds. 

      For more than 30 years, Mr. Johnson has been an advisor to home builders, developers, financial institutions, public agencies and private investors throughout the western U.S. He is widely recognized for his creative contributions to many successful projects, with expertise in development strategies for unimproved land, multifamily, adult communities and commercial properties.

      In his role at Metrostudy, Mr. Johnson is responsible for both the strategic Real Estate Information Systems and the Real Estate Consulting Practice, which are highly recognized for assisting a wide array of clients with strategic thinking for real estate.
