The sluggish national economy, the continued downward turn of the sub-prime mortgage market and mounting geopolitical risks have prompted uncertainty among investors. As 2007 wound down, the commercial real estate market certainly was not immune to these and other economic factors. But from a broader perspective, commercial real estate fundamentals remain sound and capital continues to flow. In 2008, buyers and sellers of commercial real estate should prepare for adjustments in projected returns and in the asking price of properties. These are among the key topics discussed in the fourth of our podcast series featuring data and insight from the Fourth Quarter 2007 the RERC/CCIM Investment Trends Quarterly. Listen as Kenneth Riggs, CCIM, offers his perspective on where commercial real estate is headed.
