Dr. Peter Linneman – 2013 Global Market Outlook: Asia

While it is easy to point to Asia as the growth center of the world, investors should remain wary of China. While it has shown incredible GDP growth over the last decade, this is fueled by excessive credit creation. Building empty cities and manipulating currencies does not constitute real growth. In time, the piper will need to be paid,” clarified Dr. Linneman at the Global Market Outlook in New York City.

On the economy of India, Linneman said it “continues to move forward based on long-term positive demographics. However, the political climate and corruption unearthed over the past two years have made it everyone’s favorite whipping child. The government has instituted a series of reform measures intended to attract foreign capital, and put forth a recent budget focused on controlling spending, loosening entitlements, and increasing taxes, with a view toward shrinking the country’s deficit.”

“Singaporean REITs were some of the globe’s best performing stocks in 2012, a trend that should continue in 2013,” stated Dr. Linneman, “Because the Singaporean government keeps tight restrictions on real estate development, there appears to be little risk of supply outstripping demand. Demand for office and industrial space should continue, while the prices of apartments will continue their current run of consecutive annual increase.”

As recent months passed, NAI Global welcomed three new member firms in Asia and is excited to be expanding. These new members include NAI Trinitty Partners (India), NAI Malaysia and NAI Tosei Japan.

An overview of the market in Montreal and throughout the province of Quebec.

After experiencing an economic slowdown as well as a recession, the situation improved noticeably in the United States as 2010 drew to a close. Although these economic conditions are not yet ancient history,they are slowly fading away, showing us a glimpse of easier times.

Since 2011 began, several industries have seen improvement: more people are buying, residential unit sales are improving and tourism is increasingly present. The automobile industry is also experiencing regrowth along with other important sectors. This regrowth is slowly progressing towards Canada and, particularly Quebec, where multiple projects are currently underway. These changes reflect the economic recovery taking place in the province.

NAI Commercial Multi-Family Market Report 2011

Our prediction for 2010 did come true. Some of the largest institutions were sellers. Transglobe and Boardwalk Equities were both sellers, although Cap REIT was a buyer. We saw demand stay strong as the multi-family sector is considered one of the few safe places to invest. Good product will be a rare commodity as most investors are long-term holders. We expect prices will stay flat with capitalization rates hovering around 5% unless rents go up dramatically, which we do not expect. We expect interest rates to remain stable around the 3.75% range for five year CMHC fund through to June 2011. Vacancy rates may rise slightly.
