Summary of Emerging Trends in Real Estate® 2024

• Introduction: The report outlines key trends for 2024, noting a shift toward "higher for longer" interest rates, reduced capital availability, and bifurcation in asset classes. Despite challenges, fundamentals in some sectors remain strong.

• Capital Market Pressures:

  • Higher interest rates have squeezed debt availability, reducing transaction volumes and increasing costs.
  • Debt funds are emerging as opportunities for providing liquidity, but with a "moment-in-time" outlook in Canada.
  • Cap rates are rising, pressuring property values, especially in offices and malls.

• Property-Specific Trends:

  • Multifamily and Industrial: Remain best bets due to strong fundamentals and resilience, but face supply constraints and affordability issues.
  • Office Sector: Faces bifurcation with class A properties declining, though some newer developments and renovations offer hope.
  • Retail and Healthcare: Retail shows resilience with grocery-anchored centers performing well, while healthcare properties benefit from stable demand.

• Affordability and Supply:

  • Housing affordability remains a top challenge, exacerbated by rising interest rates and construction costs.
  • Supply shortages persist, with innovative financing helping, but regulatory hurdles slow down affordable housing projects.

• Technology and Sustainability:

  • Generative AI is being adopted for efficiency in data analysis, customer service, and sustainability reporting.
  • ESG strategies are gaining traction, with a focus on carbon reduction, renewable energy, and sustainable design.

• Market Outlooks:

  • Canada and the U.S. show divergent trends, with Sun Belt markets outperforming traditional hubs in some areas.
  • Geographic selectivity is increasing, with investors focusing on submarkets aligned with demographic shifts and economic growth.

• Conclusion: Navigating these trends requires strategic asset selection and adaptation to global market dynamics.
