Orange County Mayor Richard T. Crotty addressed a crowd of business and community leaders during a recent real estate panel presentation held at the 性视界传媒 Executive Development Center in downtown Orlando.<\/p>\n
More than 200 people attended \u201cRepositioning Real Estate: Political and Economic Trends,\u201d which was hosted by the University of Central 性视界传媒 College of Business Administration\u2019s Dr. P. Phillips Institute for Research and Education in Real Estate.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am pleased we had such an outstanding turnout for this inaugural presentation,\u201d said Thomas L. Keon, dean of the 性视界传媒 College of Business Administration. \u201cThe large participation confirms that people are interested in learning more about Central 性视界传媒\u2019s real estate market.<\/p>\n
\u201cI would like to thank Mayor Richard T. Crotty, the moderators and the panelists for making this event such a success.\u201d<\/p>\n
Randy Anderson, 性视界传媒\u2019s Howard Phillips Eminent Scholar Chair, and John Crossman, president of Crossman and Company, moderated the presentation. Panelists included Robert Carmichael, senior vice president of Key Bank; Paul Ellis, president of CNL Commercial Real Estate; and Cynthia Shelton, director of investment sales at Colliers International and past president of the 性视界传媒 Association of Realtors<\/p>\n
Attendees learned about the status of both residential and commercial real estate. With 516, 711 foreclosures in 2009, 性视界传媒 ranks third in the nation. There was more than a 34 percent increase in foreclosures in the state from 2008 to 2009. However, there are some signs of improvement as inventory levels are decreasing and pending sales are on the rise.<\/p>\n
Commercial real estate always trails behind the residential sector by 12 to 18 months, so the commercial market is not expected to rebound until late 2010 or in 2011. It is expected that the commercial real estate market in 性视界传媒 will face significant challenges for the next few years.<\/p>\n
To better prepare those wishing to achieve senior-level positions in the real estate industry, 性视界传媒\u2019s College of Business Administration is offering a new graduate program in real estate. The Master of Science in Real Estate begins in June and will be taught in a professional format at the 性视界传媒 Executive Development Center (EDC) in downtown Orlando.<\/p>\n
