International Real Estate investors
International
investors have become net sellers of commercial real estate this year for the
first time since 2012. There was no country that justified the change, but a
slight decline in purchases that changed the investment equation.
Investors
made direct acquisitions totaling $ 21.3 billion in the first half of 2019, but
sold just over $ 21.4 billion, according to a new report by Real Capital
Analytics.
"Prices
are at record levels in the US Our capitalization rates are at record levels,
and at first glance it would be difficult for investors to put money aside in
the United States." are not what they were a few years ago said Jim
Costello, senior vice president of Real Capital Analytics Blackstone buys US
warehouse buildings in Singapore based GLP for $ 18.7 billion
In the
second quarter alone, acquisitions were down 37% from last year. This is partly
due to the fact that very large contracts were signed last year. The comparison
with this year has therefore been distorted. When international investors buy
assets in the United States , they usually have to put a lot
of money at a time to operate efficiently. The same is true of huge sales.
While
investors are still active, it just becomes more difficult to protect against
all the market risks, especially the exchange rate and the volatility of
interest rates. They bought less so far this year, but they also sold less.
There is no better option when have a property that is flowing money
Investors
are increasing their spending in the office and apartment sectors after making
strong gains in retail trade last year. They are investing more capital in the
New York area; Boston; Seattle; and Las Vegas, but putting less in Los Angeles;
Phoenix; San Jose, California; and Washington, D.C., according to Real
Capital's report.
The
recent decline in interest rates has not yet been taken into account, as the
conclusion of commercial real estate suitable cities transactions can take 20 to 30 weeks, and
interest rates have really started to fall only in last few months.
