Wed, 17 Apr 2024 21:15:15 +0000	How real estate investors should play higher interest rates The real estate sector (XLRE) has been underperforming as uncertainty surrounding potential Federal Reserve interest rate cuts weighs heavily on the industry. To provide insight into the current state of the US housing market, Fundrise CEO and Co-Founder Ben Miller and CenterSquare Senior Investment Strategist Uma Moriarity join Market Domination. Moriarity notes that shelter inflation is a significant component of the continued high inflation data, acknowledging that it is a "lagging indicator." However, she points out that "real-time shelter costs" are lower than what is being reported in inflation prints, suggesting that the fight against inflation is "trending in the right direction." With rate cuts still on the table, Moriarity believes the current high-rate environment is "providing a really good opportunity for investors today" in terms of real estate and homebuilder stocks. Echoing Moriarity's sentiment, Miller highlights that "real estate moves inversely with interest rates." While rates have peaked, he believes "there's much more room for the rates to come down." As rates decline, Miller anticipates it will provide a "huge tailwind for real estate." Additionally, he notes that the real estate sector is beginning to see a normalization, expressing optimism that the sector has "hit the bottom," which could present a favorable buying opportunity for investors.

Tue, 09 Apr 2024 21:54:08 +0000	Office vacancies soar to record high: Expert Office vacancies are rising across America. Moody's Head of Commercial Real Estate Economics Thomas LaSalvia joins Yahoo Finance Live to discuss this trend. LaSalvia states that office vacancies are currently at "a record high," on their way "to peak above 20%" and possibly remain there for years. He attributes this development to office spaces not having enough income to "be able to kick the can" until interest rates lower and refinancing can occur. However, LaSalvia notes that not all properties are in "rough shape." He explains that areas such as Nashville, Tampa, and Kansas City are seeing more offices relocate there. As talent migrates to "more affordable locations," there has been a dispersion of where offices "want to or need to locate" in order to attract this talent.

Fri, 29 Mar 2024 13:00:31 +0000	New York leads 2024 office demand outlook, San Francisco tech sector lags: VTS New global office demand data from VTS forecasts that New York City will hit 30 million square feet of office leasing in 2024. VTS Co-Founder & Chief Strategy Officer Ryan Masiello joins Market Domination Overtime to discuss commercial real estate trends and what they suggest for the broader market. Masiello signals that New York represents a market where the headlines do not meet the reality of what is happening on the ground: the city has led office demand recovery since the onset of the pandemic, he claims. The VTS co-founder explains that the firm's modeling looks across 13 billion square feet of office space managed on the VTS platform. According to this data, Masiello says San Francisco's office demand is showing signs of resilience, though the tech sector is 60% behind its pre-COVID office capacity. If interest rates come down, "tech companies can start growing again," Masiello adds. With the shift to hybrid and virtual labor, office footprints have shrunk only by about 6% from pre-COVID levels, Masielo says. Such work policies aren't impacting the size of companies' office footprints, he adds.

Wed, 21 Feb 2024 22:29:40 +0000	US housing underwent 'coastal Sun Belt revolution': Meredith Whitney Mortgage rates are once again rising, causing grief for many would-be homeowners. Meredith Whitney — dubbed the "Oracle of Wall Street" for predicting 2008's Great Financial Crisis — previously sat down with Yahoo Finance to explain what she called the "Silver Tsunami": how baby boomers aging closer to retirement age will seek to downsize their current living situation, ultimately freeing up a large volume of housing inventory. Meredith Whitney Advisory Group CEO Meredith Whitney joins Yahoo Finance again to give further insight into how the housing market is in a transitional phase and which regions will see the brunt of that transition. Whitney gives historical context and outlines the economics behind why people are moving, and to where:"Over the last 60 years, it's been a coastal Sun Belt revolution and I think what I believe, or I saw, over ten years ago was that people are going to start moving based on state dynamics in terms of better cost of living. No income tax dates. And you've seen that. So Texas, Tennessee, the Carolinas, Nevada, Utah — those have all been the strong states and the weaker states have seen out-migration. That's California, New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Illinois. And so what you see, out-migration jobs have already gone so companies have relocated. Texas is the state with the most Fortune 500 companies. That wasn't the case ten years ago."
