Wow. Credit where credit is due.
Anyone need to know everything about millennials, homebuying, and their spending profiles?

In fact, HousingWire reporter Brena Swanson is now on her way, Winter Storm Thor willing, to an exclusive Goldman Sachs Housing Finance Conference in New York City.
Speakers include the co-head of the investment bank division of Goldman itself, along with mortgage banking representatives from Loandepot, PennyMac and Wells Fargo. Our friend Mel Watt, the director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency will also pop round to deliver the luncheon keynote.
She’ll deliver some coverage for HousingWire.com readers tomorrow, so watch this space.
