East West Commercial Real Estate

The PwC Real Estate Barometer that’s included within the Survey tracks the anticipated performances of the four main property sectors (office, retail, industrial, and multifamily) from 2011 to 2014. According to the barometer, 62.4 percent of the US office stock will be in recovery mode by year-end 2011; in 2012, this percentage will decline a bit as a greater portion of stock enters the expansion phase. For the US retail sector, the majority will be in recession through year-end 2012. Although the amount of stock in recession will decline greatly by year-end 2013, a significant recovery is not expected until year-end 2014.

 

The US industrial market has been helped out by improvements in manufacturing, capital goods shipments, and business and consumer spending. Overall vacancy is declining in the sector and a recovery is underway for many cities. As a result, the portion of US industrial stock in recovery is expected to surge over the next 15 months.

The barometer shows that the best-performing sector in the industry is the US multifamily market, which is dominated by the recovery phase of the real estate cycle and is segueing more and more into the expansion phase annually through 2014. In fact, not one of the 81 multifamily metro areas included in the barometer will be in recession over the next four years.
