- The bifurcation in investment trends continued along valuation lines. However, even in LCRE markets, trends proved more nuanced.
- Commercial leasing fundamentals remain poised for expansion this year, boosted by an expanding economy, employment and the tax reform.
- Vacancy rates are projected to continue their decline, except for multifamily properties, where rising new supply is putting downward pressure on rents.
