Panel to Address Housing Bubble

Paul Wylie, founder and CEO of Metrocities Mortgage in Sherman Oaks, will join a panel discussion addressing the housing bubble, or lack thereof. The discussion, “Bubble, Bubble, Toil and Trouble: Trends in California Real Estate,” will tackle the elusive subject of whether the runup in housing prices over the past few years constitutes a “bubble” and whether the real estate market is in for a hard or a soft landing now that home sales have slowed considerably. Also slated to speak are. Robert Edelstein, real estate development professor at UC Berkeley’s Haas School of Business, and Christopher Thornberg, principal at Beacon Economic. The event, hosted by the Los Angeles Chapter of Berkeley’s Haas School of Business, will take place Sept. 25 at 6:30 p.m. at the Luxe Hotel in L.A.
