CRE Investor Demand is High: Here’s Why


Investors have all eyes on commercial real estate.

2019 has seen investor demand ramping up as interests from international audiences peaked, but things have currently come to a high point. 

 According to an annual survey conducted by Cornell University, investor appeal is currently greater than it’s been in 7 years.

Why is the Demand So High?

So what happened that caused this spike in investor interest?

First of all, it’s all about reputation.

Real estate has proven itself to be a safe, secure, and low-risk investment option. Real estate assets generate strong returns without many of the gambles inherent to other investments. In addition, CRE has the capacity to cultivate long-term profits even amid economic troubles.

Today’s investment sector is full of slow-starting and low-profit projects - but that’s not the case with commercial assets. CRE rolls out a steady stream of income even when other options aren’t doing so well.

Now that we’ve analyzed the situation, here are 3 things investors should know:

Strong Demand Means Fierce Competition

If investors around the world are hungry for commercial real estate, an already competitive industry just got more intense. This peak in interest will undoubtedly cause a shift in CRE’s supply and demand ratio, where the available assets won’t be able to sustain the influx of supply.

Investors, be ready to gear up to the competition.

Finding a Good Deal Isn’t Going to be Easy

Another aspect of high investor demand is that the good deals get picked off quickly.

Investors need to keep on their toes and be patient until they find the perfect deal. Don’t jump into an investment simply because you feel pressured by competitive buyers. Make sure that you’re using strong discernment and analysis before moving forward.

On the other hand, don’t hesitate on a great offer. If something wonderful comes up, consider taking action before it’s too late. While this is a tricky road to navigate, it’s essential for successful investing.

Collaborate with a CRE Professional

No one has more connections than your local commercial real estateagent. Having an industry pro on your side can give you access to exclusive markets, unlisted properties, special deals, and other perks. There’s no better way to improve an investment’s standing that by teaming up with an experienced professional.

Investors who are looking for commercial real estate assets need to consult a professional. Agents and brokers know how to navigate the CRE market better than anyone, meaning they have what it takes to turn your investment dreams into reality.

If you’re an investor who’s inexperienced in the commercial market, make sure to find a CRE professional that you trust. This person will be your main point of reference throughout the deal and your source for advice and tips.

Investors, get ready to jump into commercialreal estate. What CRE investment trends are you looking out for?

4 CRE Trends We Can Attribute to Millennials

Today’s workforce is undergoing a major shift in population. As of 2017, 56 million Millennials are either working or actively searching for work , making them the largest segment of the U.S. labor force, surpassing Gen Xers in 2016 and this will eventually lead to an impact of office space needs and what companies are looking for with new office leases.   More than one out of every three American workers is a Millennial -- more than Gen Xers and much more than Baby Boomers. And, just as every other generation that came before them, Millennials pride themselves on marching to the beat of their own drum, if you will -- wearing different clothes, listening to different music, and working differently.
