Property Values Going in the Only Direction They Can Right Now: DownWritten by Mark Heschmeyer, September 17, 2008
"The most immediate impact on commercial real estate markets will likely be further stagnation of both investment and leasing deal flow. Both investors and corporate real estate executives will turn to a "wait and see" strategy. Lehman, Merrill Lynch, AIG etc, will likely start to sell their commercial real estate assets to raise capital, which should increase investment supply and put downward pressure on selling prices."

Commercial Real Estate Industry Keeping One Eye on Growing U.S. Inflationary PressureWritten by Mark Heschmeyer, July 23, 2008
"The impact of inflation on commercial re will depend on how much landlords increase their rent in response to inflation.
In the near term, full service leases will be devalued as energy cost are absorbed by the landlord.
With most new leases being NNN, inflation may value up building near public transportation and devalue those further out.
Inflation will probably cause the fed to increase interest rates, which will improve the appeal of bonds, and increase the cost of real estate investments. The total number of investors will be lessened creating more concentration in the ownership of properties."
