Welcome to the world for CRE forecasting. Here, we present discussions about market predictions, current and future trends as well as what CRE professionals are saying about the overall performance of the commercial real estate industry and how that may help estimate future results. Generally speaking, this type of forecasting is reserved for investors, developers, property managers and other CRE stakeholders who have an obvious interest in how the market is playing out from day to day, month to month and year to year.Â
Articles posted here will have an emphasis on the economic indicators that drive the commercial real estate market. These indicators will put a comprehensive focus on factors that shape the overall economy which then affect the commercial real estate market. Unemployment rates, population trends, interest rates, consumer confidence and other macroeconomic signals are examples of those indicators.
Posts here also touch on the supply and demand factors that drive commerce and, thereby, the commercial real estate market. This is where a CRE professional can find relevant information about what to expect and when as it regards the pertinent economic factors directly affecting their business and investments such as vacancy rates and absorption rates.Â
Specific sectors of the commercial real estate market will also be considered. As an example, the rise of remote work has affected how office and retail spaces are being utilized. While forecasting is adjacent to our goals, we always like to tie back to how the best CRE software can come in handy when managing properties within each of those sectors.
