PHOENIX, AZ -- (Marketwire) -- 10/27/12 -- It's been said that virtually every leg of the real-estate sector will show some improvement in the coming year, but a still-slow economic recovery marked by tepid job and income growth will continue to weigh on the sector. What are the expectations for growth in the nation's economy, real estate capital markets, and residential real estate? Will these notions of "promising improvement" change how you operate your business now and in the future?

On Wednesday, December 5, 2012 the Land Advisors Organization will bring together a distinguished group of leaders that will share their most up-to-date data, analysis and insight, enabling us to separate fact from fiction when it comes to the future of our land and housing market.

Keynote speakers at the Fourth Annual Metro Phoenix Land and Housing Forecast include John Burns, CEO of John Burns Real Estate Consulting, Steven Hilton, CEO of Meritage Homes, Mike Orr, Director of the Center for Real Estate Theory and Practice at ASU's W. P. Carey School of Business and Principal at The Cromford Report, Jim Rounds, Senior Economist at Elliot D. Pollack & Company, and Greg Vogel, CEO of Land Advisors Organization.
