Commercial Property USA

It could be a consolation to property investors in the USA to know that while the residential housing market is going cold, commercial property USA style is heating up quite nicely thank you, due largely to the fact that recent positive US economic movements have resulted in the creation of almost four million new jobs in the past two years alone.

While much of the residential property market in America has been hit by the affordability gap, the commercial property market in the USA is gaining strength with analysts pointing to at least a short term period of strong growth - which should hopefully offset at least some of the damage to the economy that a slow residential property market could cause.  Amberlamb examines the factors driving the current success of commercial property USA.

Firstly it’s important to highlight the fact that seldom do the residential and commercial property markets follow the same pattern.  While both the residential and commercial markets are driven by the laws of supply, demand and affordability, the residential market tends to be more affected by interest rates and the affordability or otherwise of personal finance, and the commercial property market tends to be driven by the physical expansion of business interests and a reduction in the numbers of unemployed.  As a company grows it physically requires more space – a growth in demand for more space results in a healthy commercial property market – simple!

And that is exactly what America is witnessing at the moment – more members of staff are physically in work and therefore many US businesses are being forced to expand and fill more office, retail, warehousing and factory space – as a result office vacancy rates have dropped by about three percent and rental rates chargeable to businesses demanding more space have gone up in excess of five per cent in just one year.

Constructors who were reluctant to start any new retail, office or factory development have now rushed back into the market as demand for new space soars and the rate at which new commercial property USA projects are being developed has shot up in excess of twelve percent in the past year to date. 

If economists examining commercial property in USA as a market sector are correct in their predictions that for the short term the expansion of the market sector will be impressive, then it’s hoped that the benefit to the economy that will ensue will at least soften any blow received to the economy as the residential property market in America stagnates. 

In conclusion, international property investors seeking an alternative to residential property or seeking a strong property based investment market sector to commit to for projected property price growth and increasing rental yields might like to do their research and due diligence on commercial property USA.
