benefited from improving market fundamentals and increased market liquidity since mid-2010 to date. Nonetheless broader global financial issues, economic challenges and resolution of a host of issues in Washington still all need to be worked out. Discussion points in this seminar include the impact of the economy, credit markets, and real estate fundamentals and how they all influence commercial real estate investment activity. We’ll talk about the main driving forces involved in the capital markets and the need for liquidity within the commercial real estate market in order to foster transaction activity. We’ll cover the various phases of the property-market cycle, current direction of property prices, and risk/return yields. Jay White is the President of Apex Realty Advisory.
