During the live session, Stone and Conerly will provide valuable insights and analysis on the current state of the economy and its impact on the housing market, delve into the latest economic data and trends, and offer predictions for the upcoming quarter and the balance of 2023 and beyond.
“It’s a strange time for the housing sector, with single-family starts up despite higher mortgage rates and fears of recession,” Conerly said. “Pat and I will explore the real estate market, as well as the prospects for interest rates, inflation, and the economic outlook.”
Participation in WFG’s “Quarterly Economic Outlook" is open to all, but reservations are required and may be made by signing up here. The hour-long webinar includes commentary from both Stone and Conerly, as well as a Q&A session. Those wishing to submit questions for consideration may do so at the time of registration or by emailing wfgagencyevents@wfgtitle.com prior to Friday, September 8th.
During the Q2 2023 webinar in May, Stone and Conerly addressed current market conditions, sharing their thoughts on the economy and the U.S. housing market. They also answered pre-submitted questions from the more than 1,000 industry professionals who registered for the live webinar. Discussion topics included short- and long-range outlooks for the housing and title insurance industries, property value projections, home improvement activity, the use of title alternatives, commercial real estate lending and refinancing trends, recent bank failings, regional real estate activity, the impact of AI on the real estate industry, and suggestions on how business owners can take advantage of the downturn in the economy.

”When we launched our Quarterly Economic Outlook webinar series during the pandemic, our initial goal was to communicate and connect with title and settlement services professionals and provide them with information that would help them be successful,” Stone said. “Since then, attendance has grown to more than 1,000 participants, with a much broader base of participants. It’s incredibly rewarding to know that our attendees find the information we share with them both enlightening and beneficial.”
