Industrial Watch: March 14, 2020
“If there is a silver lining to be said at all for the coronavirus outbreak, it may very well be that certain investment opportunities may present themselves within commercial real estate. With lowered interest rates, the drop in Treasury yields, and investor fear of a downturn, it could support refinancing and acquisitions in the market. The silver lining is the already strong state of the U.S. economy. Adding fuel to the fire is the upcoming presidential election where an incumbent win could promote positive market activity, and a change in leadership could, historically, encourage a slight slowdown for at least a few months into the new year.” -Adam Abushagur
