New Years Resolution Listening To The Media

by recentricrealty | Jan 3, 2011 | Space Markets, Uncategorized | 0 comments As the New Year arrives, one of my resolutions is to listen better. Whether it is with my family, friends or business associates, you can never be too good of a listener. As well, it pays to listen to the media. Listening to the media for trends can help guide you on where certain markets are headed. The headlines of stories can tell you a lot about where slow moving markets like commercial real estate are headed. Here is a snapshot of where the commercial real estate market was in early 2010 and where it ended up at the end of 2010. The stories as reported by Costar Group getting the most press in January and February 2010 were noticeably negative. At the end of 2010, the stories as reported by Costar Group getting the most reads in last two months were more upbeat and positive. No one knows tomorrow’s news, but more important, no one knows how market participants will react to the news. You can’t make the market meet your expectations. You have to go where the markets take you. As the old saying goes “The trend is your friend” As our economy continues to slowly improve, investors will get back into the commercial real estate market only when they feel more secure about the industry, and it appears to be happening now.
