TAG Industrial Market Watch: January 5, 2019

“We now have a Democratic Congress and small possibility that any drastic CRE changes will be made in the near future. The New Year looks as though cap rates will remain steady, given high industrial demand and also increased interest rates. The volatility of the global market as a whole, coupled with a temperamental stock market provide uncertainty for the future of the economy. This causes investors to assess properties in much more detail and scrutiny. However, there remains overall optimism for industrial in 2019, bearing no drastic shift in the economy.”
