Good News: A fast-paced, appreciating market – key to 2010 – 2015 – is not key to success today.
We are smack in the middle of a great, stable market, based in solid fundamentals. Chasing speculation does not carry the day. Best: We can help you find the right opportunity for your financial situation. We bring to the discussion the strengths, weaknesses, opportunity – and a plan – to help meet expectations.
We call this the WIN strategy to success.
Market News:
- Rents and NOI: Both increasing. Translation: With our low cap rates, a simple increase in rents is bringing a 20 X, or more, growth in value. Today’s low rates help with this equation.
- Market segment / sector challenge: Office market has a Dual hit of increasing TI costs and meeting tenants demands / TI expectations.
- Overall Market: Employment growth strong, GDP above expected, wage growth positive with low inflation, due to strong productivity. Outcome: Yield Curve remains relatively flat.
- Federal Reserve: Accommodative. This to helps bring support to the weakness in international markets. The Good News: Low rates offer the great opportunity to accelerated debt re-payment.
- Housing: Supply constraints continue and support a low Cap rate environment.
- Apartment rents: increasing in growth pace. Now approaching 4 % year over year growth. Great for landlords, yet more pressure for some of our renters to move into home ownership.
Call us. We are here ready help, today.
