Event Recap: Real Estate Market Update – The Glum &
Bright
Five
speakers shared their views on
the economic outlook for the real estate market in the Metro DC area
offering a couple bright spots in an otherwise glum report. The presenters
delivered an overall economic review as well as individual reports for the
land, multi-family/condo, retail and office segments of the real estate
market covering current inventory, projected supply and demand and
investment dynamics for each market segment.
The two bright spots were:
-
Demand for appraisals should be strong in 2009 as banks and the government seek to determine the true value of real estate in the area.
-
There appears to be an uptick in land purchases signaling a market perception that demand will rebound in late '09 or early '10.
For
more information on key segments, view the speakers handouts:

Outlook from Kevin Thorpe,
