Current Trends in Real Estate Transaction Activity

Tim Bodner, real estate deals leader at PwC, joined the latest episode of Nareit’s REIT Report to discuss what today's uncertain market environment means for investment patterns and transaction activity.

Bodner described transaction activity across a range of real estate sectors, including office, hospitality, senior housing, data centers, and energy infrastructure, as “fairly robust.” He stressed that the real estate sector is used to operating in periods of uncertainty and cyclical change, while noting that REITs are focusing on what they can control and are “in a good place at this stage, given everything that’s going on.”

He also pointed out that there's a lot of activity around figuring out what's the right scale to have to operate in this new environment, “which likely will lead to more public to public and public to private transaction activity in the REIT space.”
