Risks to Economic Forecast
– Fiscal Cliff on January 1, 2013 … if no new compromised budget then …
• Automatic deep cuts to military and domestic spending• Automatic higher taxes• 3% shave off GDP growth, which is currently growing at
2%
– Smaller Players Knocked Out of Commercial Real Estate Deals
What about Smaller/Inexpensive Properties?
• Not captured in data• No consistent measurement
• REALTOR® members deals are generally under $2 million properties
• Survey indicated only slight increase in transactions

The State of Commercial Real Estate
• Q3 saw modest improvements nationwide;– Multifamily: vacancy rates slide lower still, rent
growth slows;– Office: vacancies edging down, rent growth weak.
CBD vs suburban;– Retail: regional malls seeing improvements in
vacancies, rents, while neighborhood and community centers lag.
• A puzzle: the macro economy is at a crawl; why did CRE show any improvement?– New supply is negligible, so even a tiny bit of
absorption yields improvements.– But robust gains will need a robust macroeconomy.
• Rates are low but access to financing still tight.51
Construction at decades-low levels generates more pent-up demand

Pent-up demand continues to drive multifamily sector, while new supply still falls short
• Market conditions in multifamily rental housing have tightened since the housing crisis began;
• Sustained low household formation has caused unprecedented pent-up demand;
• New supply falls far short of potential demand;
• Key factor limiting rent growth: wages.

REIT acquisitions benefit from access to capital, market discipline
• The REIT business model influences property acquisitions in two ways:– Access to capital allows REITs to buy properties
when they are available at attractive prices—rather than being rationed by credit standards or driven by investment fund flows;
– Market discipline discourages REITs from over-paying at the market peak—in fact, REITs sold at the top of the 2000s boom.
• REIT acquisitions early in a price cycle add value over the long haul… and REITs are the main buyers today.
