CCIM/RERC Study Notes "Once-in-a-Lifetime" Opportunity
advertisement A new study by two respected industry
groups notes that any sustained recovery in the commercial real estate
industry in 2010 is limited given continued high unemployment and weak
market fundamentals. However on the upside, the headwinds are creating
a “once-in-a-lifetime opportunity” to buy quality properties.
“The recovery will vary by geographic location and property type,
but for investors seeking to seize market opportunities, 2010 will be
the best time in generations to buy well-priced, quality commercial
real estate,” says Ken Riggs, CCIM, chief real estate economist of the
CCIM Institute and president and CEO of Real Estate Research
Corporation (RERC). “Investors should view 2010 as a once-in-a-lifetime
opportunity to snag key long-term investments.” The quarterly report was released by the CCIM Institute and the RERC.Article Tools

Riggs says that alternative sources of financing in 2010 include newer local banks, the pooling of funds from wealthy individuals, increased owner/user financing, credit unions, regional banks, and insurance companies.
“Who is buying commercial real estate? Private funds are the powerhouse buyers. Also active are the cash-rich or high net worth investors, large institutions and groups, REITS, foreign investors from Canada, China, and Germany, and opportunistic buyers,” says Riggs.
