INVESTMENTS

Investment sales of commercial

properties rode a rising wave of

capital liquidity in the first half of

2015. Transaction volume — for

properties selling above $2.5 million

— totaled $255 billion, a 36 percent

year-over-year increase, according

to Real Capital Analytics.

With investors gaining confi-

dence, portfolio transactions have

been increasing, accounting for 22

percent of total in the first half of

2015, compared to 18 percent during

the first half of 2014, measured in

dollar volume. Individual transac-

tions remained the largest group,

accounting for 67 percent of sales

volume in the first six months of

this year. Office properties made

up 28 percent of total transactions,

totaling $71.4 billion. Multifamily

was the second largest property type

transacted — $63.2 billion, or 25

percent of total. Retail and indus-

trial properties made up 33 percent

of all transactions combined.

Commercial prices continued their

upward trend, leading some to

voice concerns about a potential

bubble. Based on RCA’s national

Commercial Property Price Index,

prices rose 3 percent year-over-

year during the second quarter of

this year. The advance was driven

by strong appreciation in prices of

office and apartment properties,

both of which have exceeded their

prior 2007 peaks. CBD office prices

jumped 21 percent year-over-year

during the second quarter, posting

the strongest gain. Suburban office

properties rose at the second-fastest

second quarter of 2014. Apartments

recorded a 14 percent price gain, but

retained the second-highest price

level, based on RCA’s CPPI.

Separately, other price indices

reflected similar gains in commer-

cial valuations. The Green Street

Advisors Commercial Property Price

Index rose 11 percent in the second

quarter, reaching a value of 117, the

highest since the index’s inception in

1998. The National Council of Real

Estate investment Fiduciaries Price

Index also rose 11 percent year-over-

year in the second quarter of 2015,

to its highest recorded value, 250.

Capitalization rates for CRE assets

compressed by 30 basis points

compared to a year ago, with a

national average of 6.7 percent in

the second quarter, based on RCA

reports. Transactions of office prop-

erties in CBD markets recorded

the lowest cap rates, at 5.6 percent,

followed by apartment, at 6.0

percent. Retail and industrial prop-

erties also posted sub-7.0 percent

cap rates, while hotel transactions

averaged cap rates of 8.2 percent in

the second quarter.

markets advanced 11.0 percent year-

over-year.

With the shortage of available inven-

tory reported as the number one

concern for NAR members, prices

for Realtors’ commercial real estate

transactions accelerated during the

second quarter of 2015, with prop-

erties trading at average prices 7.0

percent higher compared with the

same period in 2014. The average

transaction price increased from

$1.7 million in the first quarter 2015

to $2.0 million in the second quarter

2015.

Capitalization rates in Realtors’

commercial real estate markets

declined to an average of 7.5 percent

(compared to 6.7 percent for prop-

erties above $2.5 million) across all

property types, an 85 basis point

decline on a yearly basis. Apart-

ments posted the lowest cap rate, at

6.8 percent, followed by hotel prop-

erties with average cap rates at 7.4

percent. Office and industrial spaces

posted cap rates of 7.7 percent

and 7.5 percent respectively. Retail

transactions reported the highest

comparative cap rates—8.0 percent.

LARGE MARKETS

Commercial demand for lease space

found new energy in the second

quarter of 2015, rebounding from

the soft performance of the wintry

first quarter. Even as construction

picked up the pace across all prop-

erty types, the gap between demand

and supply exerted downward pres-

sure on vacancies.

Office net absorption totaled 14.4

million square feet in the second

quarter of 2015, a noticeable bump

from the first quarter’s 6.3 million

square feet, based on JLL data.

Compared with 20.7 million square

feet absorbed in the first half of the

year, new completions totaled 15.5

million square feet over the period.

Overall office vacancies declined

from 15.6 percent in the first quarter

to 15.3 percent in the second quarter.

Based on JLL’s research, office vacan-

cies are expected to drop below 15.0

percent by the end of this year. Rents

for office properties rose 2.5 percent

over the first six months of 2015,

leading to projections that — at the

current demand pace — they will

close the year higher by 5.0 to 6.0

percent from 2014.

Commercial Real Estate Market UPDATE

Industrial space net absorption

continued rising, totaling 102.9

million square feet in the first half of

this year, based on JLL data. Ware-

house and distribution account

for the bulk of the demand (87.8

million square feet), followed by

manufacturing (13.5 million square

feet). Supply also rose, with new

industrial completions adding 83.6

million square feet to total stock.

With demand outpacing supply,

industrial vacancies declined to 6.9

percent, a 14-year low, according to

JLL. With a tight market, industrial

rents rose 5.1 percent.

Responding to broader economic

improvement, retail demand has

been outpacing supply over the

first six months, but the pace lags

the other property types. Demand

increased to 21.2 million square feet

from the first quarter’s 15.4 million

square feet of net absorption,

according to JLL. The majority of

space demand clustered in general retail properties, followed by shop-ping centers. Completions totaled 11.6 million square feet in the second quarter, bringing the total for the first half of the year to 21.0 million square feet. With comple-tions lagging, national vacancies reached 5.9 percent in the second

quarter of 2015, driving retail rents

higher by 1.2 percent.

Demand for multifamily proper-

ties continued on an upward path,

boosted by positive household

formation numbers. Historically,

household formation averaged 1.3

million every year from 1958 to 2007.

Between 2008 and 2013, the average

number of new households dropped

to 579,000 per year, underscoring

the severity of the Great Recession.

In 2014, net household formation

jumped to 2.2 million, as employ-

ment growth encouraged more

young people to strike it on their

own. In the second quarter of 2015,

household formation continued the

upward trends with the addition of

480,000 new households.

Renter occupied housing units

totaled 42.9 million units in the

second quarter of 2015, a 4.9 percent

advance from the second quarter of

2015, based on U.S. Census Bureau

data. National vacancy rates aver-

aged 6.8 percent for rental housing

during the second quarter, 70 basis

points lower than the same period

in 2014. Median rents for rental

units averaged $803 in the second

quarter of this year, 6.2 percent

higher than the previous year.

MARKETS UNDER $2.5 MILLION

In comparison, leasing fundamen-

tals in Realtors’ commercial real

estate markets moved in tandem

with the broad markets during the

second quarter 2015. Leasing volume

during the second quarter rose 5.0

percent compared with the first

quarter 2015. Leasing rate growth

remained steady, rising 3.0 percent

in the second quarter, compared

with the 3.0 percent advance in the

previous quarter. New construction

accelerated, posting a 6.0 percent

gain from the first quarter of this

year, a pace which doubled the 3.0

percent rise recorded in the first

quarter 2015.

Tenant demand for Realtors’ clients

remained strongest in the 5,000

square feet and below, accounting

for 84.0 percent of leased proper-

ties. Lease terms were steady, with

36-month and 60-month leases

capturing 60.0 percent of the market.

Vacancy rates mirrored the regional

and product variations in Real-

tors markets, with most properties

posting availability declines. With

rising new supply, apartments expe-

rienced availability increases, as

the national average rose from 6.0

percent in the second quarter of

2014 to 6.6 percent in the second

quarter of this year.

Office vacancies declined 65 basis

availability posted the largest year-

over-year decline — 246 basis points

— to 10.8 percent. Retail vacancies

declined 137 basis points on a yearly

basis, to 13.2 percent.

OUTLOOK

Fundamentals are projected to

continue strengthening, as vacancies

decline due to increased household

formation, a rising economy, higher

employment, and growing consumer

confidence. With rising demand,

office vacancies are projected to

average 15.8 percent during 2015

and decline to 15.5 in 2016. Indus-

trial vacancies are estimated to drop

from an average of 11.7 percent in

2015 to 11.3 percent in 2016. Retail

availability will continue shrinking,

but at a slower pace. Retail vacancies

are likely to decline from 13.8 percent

in 2015 to 13.4 percent in 2016.

Multifamily vacancies are expected

to average 7.2 percent in 2015 and

7.0 percent in 2016, with availability

on an upswing due to stepped-up

new construction. However, given

the demographics of the millennial

generation, the overall outlook for

multifamily space should continue

to be strong for at least the next five

years.

With capital availability continuing

to improve and sources broadening,

commercial real estate investments

are expected to continue on an

upward trend. At the current sales

pace, sales of large commercial real

estate properties are projected to total

over $500 billion in 2015 and, during

2016, move within striking distance

of prior 2007 peaks, reaching $560

billion.

Prices are poised to continue their

strong advance in the latter half of

2015, as shortage of inventory and

capital liquidity collide. Price growth

is expected to moderate in 2016, as

interest rates are likely to rise.

U.S. Economic OVERVIEW

The economic outlook for the next

year is, to use a term of faint praise,

“adequate” — basically a C+. The

cold facts are that we continue to

have substandard GDP, employ-

ment, and income growth relative

to where we could be. The outlook

for both residential and commercial

real estate markets is positive — but

would be even better with a fully

engaged economy.

For 2015, real GDP growth appears

likely to average out at approxi-

mately 2 percent. Compared to

normal expectations of 3 percent

or better growth, the GDP projec-

tions are mediocre — although

significantly better than the negative

growth during the Great Recession.

Average growth from 2007 to 2014

was slightly over 1 percent, including

several years with negative growth.

In comparison, average growth

from 1991 to 2006 was slightly over

3 percent. The 2 percent difference is

important: over a 10-year timeframe

the total difference between a 1 and

3 percent growth rate is 24 percent.

The relatively slow and erratic

economic growth experienced in

recent years appears to have led to

many of the economic problems

currently in the news:

l Underemployment: We have an

economy characterized by part-

time jobs, lower overall levels of

job participation, and concerns

that millennials are having diffi-

culties achieving a first rung on

the job ladder.

l Income distribution: Many people

have not participated in the rising

economy — developing the “1

Percent” income issue. The

economy is based on the circular

flow of money and goods. Low

incomes cycle into lower than

normal levels of demand,

resulting in low GDP growth.

l Rancor and disagreement: Prob-

lems with the federal budget and

debt ceiling and the inability to

resolve a variety of economic and

tax issues at the legislative level

could lead to decreased consumer

and investor confidence. The

lack of positive agreement on

economic issues may be a factor

in holding the economy back.

THE NAR ECONOMIC FORECAST

The NAR forecast is for continued

slow economic expansion. Rising

GDP and employment should

continue to have favorable impacts

on residential and commercial

real estate markets. The projected

outlook is positive but represents

an economy with relatively slow

growth.

FORECAST RISKS

Forecasts are based on models

of the economic relationships in

the economy and assumptions

concerning the exogenous/unex-

pected/unpredictable variables that

could impact the forecast.

Modeling: Several examples can

illustrate the modeling of economic

interrelationships:

l For example, how will consump-

tion (68 percent of 2014 GDP) be

impacted by changes in the GDP,

household wealth, employment,

and other relevant factors?

l How will investment (16 percent

of 2014 GDP) be impacted by

changes in interest rates, GDP,

financial liquidity, and other

relevant factors?

RISING GDP AND EMPLOYMENT SHOULD

CONTINUE TO HAVE FAVORABLE IMPACTS ON RESIDENTIAL AND

COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE MARKETS.

U.S. Economic OVERVIEW

Although economists may differ to

some degree on the structure of the

many equations and relationships

underlying economic forecasts, the

results are usually surprisingly close.

Assumptions: The key phrase is

“other relevant factors,” frequently

termed “exogenous variables” by

economists. Other relevant factors

in the second half of 2015 could

include changes in the Chinese

economy, variations by central

banks in monetary policy and credit

availability, changes in govern-

ment programs and expenditures,

changes in business confidence,

and the impacts on consumer or

business behavior from changes in

financial markets or other economic

and political developments. While

extraneous to the forecast, econ-

omists need to estimate other

relevant factors prior to making the

forecast. Differences in assumptions

can drive the apparent differences

between forecasts.

The variability of exogenous uncer-

tainties provides the origin of the

famous economics phrases “on the

other hand” or “all other things

being equal.” When economists

talk in this type of jargon, they are

simply stating that a lot of unfore-

seen uncertainties could impact the

forecast — and there is really no way

in which these uncertainties can be

predicted with certainty.

SHORT-TERM UNCERTAINTIES, RISKS, AND PROBLEMS

There are a number of short-term

risks that could negatively impact

the current forecast:

l problems with government

budgeting and debt ceilings;

l continued fluctuations in wealth

related to short-term stock

market gyrations;

l additional negative developments

in the Chinese economy, with

possible extension to other

countries, thereby affecting inter-

national trade; and

l factors negatively impacting

consumer and business confi-

dence.

For the forecast we have assumed

that there will be no abnormal,

dramatic changes in the economy,

such as a government shutdown.

U.S. Economic OVERVIEW

IMPACTS ON REAL ESTATE

The major factors affecting the

real estate markets are job growth,

interest rates, and credit availability.

The outlook for all three is favorable

— although not as favorable as one

would prefer:

l Job growth: The economy needs

to create 125,000 new jobs each

month just to absorb popu-

lation growth. In the past 12

months, monthly job creation

on an enterprise basis has aver-

aged 243 additional new jobs per

month. Job creation is projected

to continue at approximately that

rate.

l Interest rates: Even with

projected increases by the

Federal Reserve, interest rates are

expected to remain attractive for

residential and commercial real

estate transactions.

l Credit availability: Realtors have

reported excessively tight — but

easing — credit in responses

to the Realtor Confidence Index

survey. Surveys of commer-

cial real estate transactions have

also reported the easing of tight

credit. We continue to expect

some easing of credit conditions

even as interest rates modestly

increase.

Commercial real estate generally

follows residential trends, frequently

with a lag of 12 to 18 months. Sales,

construction, and prices appear

to be on an upward trend for both

markets. The current economic

environment appears to be favorable

for real estate.

Overall, the economy is experiencing

positive growth, although still at

a performance level below histor-

ical experience. The major problem

is that economic growth has been

closer to 2 percent than what had

historically been a more normal 3

percent. We are predicting 2 percent

for this year with growth possibly

rising to 2.8 percent next year.

Economic growth does not appear

likely to pick up beyond current

projections in the short run. The

country had a painful emergence

from the Great Recession, largely

due to the massive destruction of

financial assets. Consumer demand

for major segments of the popula-

tion continues to be subpar, simply

because wages and job opportuni-

ties have not recovered their normal

growth. Economists are divided in

opinion concerning the longer run

structural factors possibly impeding

economic growth — such as exces-

sive regulation, inappropriate

incentives in the financial markets, a

short-term managerial focus in many

companies, deficient infrastructure

expenditures, and inappropriate

government debt and spending

levels as well as budget allocations.

None of these problems — if indeed

they do impact the economy —

are likely to be resolved in the next

year, so the outlook continues to be

for a positive economic expansion,

but not an expansion in excess of 3

percent per year.

OVERALL, THE ECONOMY IS EXPERIENCING

POSITIVE GROWTH, ALTHOUGH STILL

AT A PERFORMANCE LEVEL BELOW

HISTORICAL EXPERIENCE.

U.S. Metropolitan ECONOMIC OUTLOOK

The leading market index uses an array of factors to assess the relative health of an individual market. The factors include job creation, unemployment claims, bankruptcy filings, and permits for construction. The first two factors provide an indication of potential business expansion/contraction as well as of labor market health and a leading

indicator of multifamily rental growth. Bankruptcy filings allude to the health of the business environment, while the permits data point to business plans and have an indirect impact on inventories.

The leading indicator is weighted based on both the current measure

as well as its recent trend or lagged measures. These weighted measures are then added to create a score. This score is then ranked relative to a fixed scale where a measure of 85 or better indicates a robust market, 75 to 85 a strong market, 65 to 75 an average market, and a score below 65 coincides with a weak market.
