WSU Center for Real Estate hosts 4th annual Real Estate Roundtable

The 4th annual Real Estate Roundtable will be held from 8:30-11:30 a.m. Friday, Aug. 15, in 203 Rhatigan Student Center at Wichita State University. The Real Estate Roundtable is an invitation-only event, but the media are welcome to attend the opening and closing sessions.

The opening session will include opening remarks by Wichita Mayor Carl Brewer at 8:35 a.m. and an overview of the current state of the housing market by director of the Center for Real Estate Stan Longhofer at 8:40 a.m. The final hour will be devoted to a review of the perspectives presented during the roundtable.

Started as a small gathering of real estate professionals, the Real Estate Roundtable has grown to include more than 125 of the area's top real estate agents, builders, developers, lenders, appraisers and other industry professionals.

Information gathered at the event will be used to help develop the Center for Real Estate's 2009 Wichita Housing Market Forecast, which will be released in September.
