The job news “is an obstacle and a cautionary line creating uncertainty in the short-term outlook,” said Carl Conceller, principal of NAI Desco in St. Louis, MO. “Landlords are keenly aware of the limited tenants in the market place and the need to maintain occupancy in a highly competitive market.

Proposed FASB Lease Accounting Changes Will Impact Sales Market
Nov 6th
There are changes afoot in the world of accounting dealing with how companies should treat their leases – for both lessors and lessees. Those changes will have an immediate impact on the sale of investment properties. There are several areas where the impact will be manifest, including:
- Tenants may be incented to sign shorter leases;
- Tenants will be less likely to sign renewal and expansion options into their leases; and
- Corporate users may find it more favorable to buy than to rent properties they wholly occupy.
