While too little too late, the Federal Reserve finally showed some effort in fighting inflation by hiking interest rates by 50 basis points. Given that the bond market is pushing up interest rates faster than the Fed, many industrial investors have been pondering how much lower cap rates can go in commercial real estate’s hottest market. While no one has an industrial crystal ball, the market may be experiencing that low right now. Among the top 50 metro areas in the U.S., market cap rates on properties of at least 15,000 square feet experienced the smallest annual decrease over the last decade during the first quarter at just 4 basis points to about 6.3 percent. So far during the second quarter, that figure has slipped further to just 1 basis point (CoStar). Although cap rates may soon be on the rise, the industrial market still offers investors many excellent investment opportunities to thrive in America’s new economic environment.
