The nonprofit Urban Land Institute and PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP have released the report "Emerging Trends in Real Estate 2010." This 76 page report on commercial real estate includes these highlights:
- Multifamily "is the only place with a hint of hope, because of demographic demand. Scarce construction sets the stage for a strong rebound in any economic turnaround. There could be a shortage of apartments by 2012.(p. 12)
- Portland ranks among the top US markets to watch for multifamily investment.(p. 28)
- Multifamily ranks as the top prospect for real estate investment in 2010 (p. 41)
- Pent up demand grows for apartments. Twenty-somethings who moved back in out of necessity want out of parents homes as soon as employment prospects improve. This huge generation Y cohort of young adults should be avid renters as they delay marriage and kids to build careers. (p. 43)
- On the supply side, the apartment development pipeline will run dry. (p.43)
- Multifamily investments historically provide the best risk-adjusted returns among property types - and current market experience reinforces investor views of the sector's relative resiliency. (p. 45)
