Research Perspectives

Waiting for Distress
(July 2008)

Coming on the heels of several years of lower cap rates that pushed prices steeply upwards, the U.S. real estate market appears poised for a correction. The only question is how much. The correction could be steep if cap rates revert to historical norms. However, if one takes a range of other factors into consideration -- such as relative value to Treasury yields and the emergence of the real estate capital markets -- the more likely scenario is a modest drop in prices.
