Distribution of 1-Year Price Outlook
Apartment: higher unemployment, pandemic uncertainty will delay homebuying, increasing demand for multifamily properties
Industrial: on-line delivery due to social distancing and changes in habit will lead to more lead to higher demand for warehouses; because this is a bright sector, more construction expected in this sector
Office: some decline as businesses hire more cautiously , less demand for co-working ; but expect a pickup in demand for financial services, insurance companies, legal offices, banks, software/tech companies as demand for legal , financial and technology services increase as businesses prepare for potential pandemics
Retail: social distancing and online shopping will continue to depress demandfor brick and mortar stores; retail stores will be repurposed for other uses(e.g. fulfillment/distribution centers such as Target and BJ’s).
Demand for apartments and industrial properties expected to increase in 2020-2021
Higher vacancy rates in 2020: Retail (19%), Hotel (22%), Office (13%)Lower vacancy rates in 2020: Apartment (6%), Industrial (6%)
