Intro

In this bonus episode, CBRE's new Global Head of Research, Dr. Henry Chin, discusses the current outlook for commercial real estate for both occupiers and investors.

Key Takeaways on the Economic and Real Estate Outlook

·     Market Sentiment: Real estate fundamentals don’t change overnight. Leasing activity is proceeding across asset classes though some occupiers are delaying decisions until they have more clarity on potential policy changes and their economic impact.

·      Economic Indicators: Monitoring not only job growth and inflation but also softer indicators like travel bookings and restaurant reservations provides a feel of the real economy.

·      Nimble Capital: High-net-worth individuals can move quickly to pounce on attractively priced opportunities.
