Consumers became more accustomed not only to Amazon delivery services, but also to services such as Door Dash, Uber Eats, Grub Hub, etc. • The two types of retail primarily hit hard were restaurants and “Mom & Pop” retail stores. • Grocery stores, liquor stores, pharmacies, and any retail that is more “needs-based” were not hit as hard. • Chain stores also seem to have had an ability to survive easier. 6 Interview Results - Retail • Drive-through businesses have “The retail sector will need been in much higher demand, and chains like Starbucks and Wawa to start to adapt to service are expanding those concepts in industries within shopping the region now. centers, looking to services • Properties in shopping centers that are not anchor spaces and like dentists, offices, etc. not pre-leased for larger chain Development will be retailers may become less designed to accommodate common in the near future. • At the same time, the age of “big retailers that aren’t as box” stores have taken a big hit impacted by COVID or e- and it is unlikely that many of commerce, such as small these stores will be developed in the near future. drive-throughs, not demand for space over 5K sqft.” 7 Interview Results - Office • Currently, the office market has not “There is going to be a been hit quite as hard as the retail huge divesture of office market, but experts say it is coming. space.

  • The Postwar Pattern of Mortgage Interest Rates
    This PDF is a selection from an out-of-print volume from the National Bureau of Economic Research Volume Title: The Postwar Residential Mortgage Market Volume Author/Editor: Saul B. Klaman Volume Publisher: Princeton University Press Volume ISBN: 0-870-14106-6 Volume URL: http://www.nber.org/books/klam61-1 Publication Date: 1961 Chapter Title: The Postwar Pattern of Mortgage Interest Rates Chapter Author: Saul B. Klaman Chapter URL: http://www.nber.org/chapters/c2341 Chapter pages in book: (p. 74 - 98) CHAPTER 4 The Postwar Pattern of Mortgage Interest Rates THE course of mortgage interest rates and its relationship to the flow of mortgage funds are referred to in most chapters of this report. Separate treatment is given here to that subject, so fundamentally important to an understanding of postwar market developments. The influence of shifting market forces on mortgage flows has often been transmitted through changes in mortgage interest rates and yields and in their relationship to yields of other capital market securities.'Little current information on these points has been available, and obtaining data is difficult because of the complexities of interrelationships between mortgage interest rates, other mortgage terms, and the demand and supply of mortgage funds. Obviously, such gaps in our knowledge of this important area- cannot be filled by what follows. We may hope that a future broad-scaled study of interest rates, as suggested by the National Bureau, will include the mortgage field. Meanwhile, a beginning is made here by presentation of new data on conventional mortgage interest rates, by examination of the effects of discounts on FHA and VA loans, and by analysis of the relationship of changes in mortgage yields to changes in the flow of mortgage funds.

  • Real Estate Agents Will Lose Value As Digital Peer-To-Peer Exchange Platforms Couple Exponentially with Technological Advancements by Cusumano, L
    Real Estate Agents Will Lose Value as Digital Peer-to-Peer Exchange Platforms Couple Exponentially with Technological Advancements by Cusumano, L. A Thesis Submitted to REALTOR® University In Partial Fulfillment for the Degree of Master of Real Estate Professor, Dr. Sullivan April 24, 2017 Abstract As technology collides with disruptive innovation, residential buyers and sellers will no longer want or need some or all services offered by a traditional real estate brokerage. Consumers are frequently becoming self-serving as they can now find a vast amount of housing information and apps through their mobile devices. Today’s consumers are more cognizant of the fact that many brokerages throughout the US are now limiting their liabilities to protect their own company and maximize their profits through earning both sides of the commission thus eliminating undivided loyalty, protection, and full representation to the consumer. Furthermore, tech savvy buyers and sellers have watched numerous home programs and videos, have easy access to MLS and many other real estate websites, and will continually seek out money saving solutions while buying and selling their home. Like Uber and Airbnb, digital peer to peer exchange platforms coupled with built in algorithms and artificial intelligence will gain allegiance among future home buyers and sellers, thus creating new real estate models and fewer agents in the industry. Keywords: algorithms, artificial intelligence, augmented reality, autonomous vehicles, buyer agent, designated agency, drones, dual agency, exclusive buyer agent, facilitator, FSBO, for sale by owner, listing agent, peer-to-peer, transaction brokerage, single agent, Uber, virtual reality, wearable technology. i Table of Contents Abstract.

    MARCH 2019 US Real Estate Trends and Updates Austin Skyline 02 US Market Overview On balance, 2019 is expected to bring continued economic strength in the US, as we extend into the longest recorded expansion in US history. While inflation and geopolitical events pose tangible risks, the US economy’s growth is expected to endure through the year as consumer and business confidence remains high. Labor Markets The 2018 US job market was strong with an average of 220,000 jobs added per month in 2018 (21% greater than 2017) with an additional 300,000 jobs added in January 20192. Accordingly, year-end unemployment was very low at 3.9% (versus 4.4% in Midtown on Main, Arizona 2017)3. At these sustained levels, employers are experiencing increased difficulty in finding qualified employees. As noted above, we are starting to see this difficulty finally manifest itself Economy in increasing real wages. 2018 exhibited a healthy 2.9% annual rate of real GDP growth, That said, increasing wages should support consumer spending extending an expansion (118 months) that is now approaching (2.7% growth in 2018), in turn. Indeed, the US consumer the longest in US history (120 months; 1991-2001)1. Most remains quite optimistic: despite year-end stock market volatility, forecasters are predicting slower, but healthy growth over the retail sales continue to grow at a healthy pace. course of 2019 and 2020, as the effects of the 2018 tax-cut and stepped-up government spending begin to fade.

  • Commercial Real Estate Trends & Outlook October 2020
    Commercial Real Estate Trends & Outlook October 2020 National Association of REALTORS® Research Group COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE TRENDS & OUTLOOK October 2020 Report The Commercial Real Estate Trends & Outlook Report discusses trends in the small commercial market or transactions that are typically less than $2.5 million. This report is based on information collected from NAR’s 2020 Q3 Commercial Real Estate Quarterly Market Survey about the commercial transactions of REALTORS® and members of NAR’ commercial affiliate organizations (CCIM, SIOR, RLI, IREM, and the Counselors of Real Estate) during the third quarter of 2020. The survey was sent to approximately 76,000 commercial REALTORS® and members of affiliate organizations during October 1–18, 2020, of which 658 provided answers to at least one question. The survey results indicate the continuing impact of the pandemic on the volume of transactions and on commercial business practices. The impact of the pandemic is still evolving but the survey results are providing an indication of where changes are heading. In the office sector, 62% of respondents reported an increase in companies moving to smaller offices, and 58% of respondents reported an increase in short-term leases of two years or less. In the retail properties market, 52% percent reported they are seeing more vacant malls being repurposed for other uses, such as mixed-use, industrial use, hospitals, or as churches. REALTORS® reported a decline in sales and leasing transactions, except for industrial properties, clearly the strongest leg of the commercial sector. The land market has also been a strong sector, especially sales of land for recreational use, as the pandemic has curtailed leisure activities in the urban areas.
