Yields on 5-year U.S. Treasury Notes remain at lows quickly reached as we entered the era of the COVID-19 pandemic. As can be seen in the chart embedded herein, these rates, most closely tracked for commercial real estate financing cost, plummeted from what were already considered low levels to under 50 basis points (0.5%), barely […]
In my commercial real estate brokerage business, I’ve noticed a trend of some buyers expecting lower prices on properties, sometimes even clearly taking offense at a seller not budging on price. There seems to be, with them a sense that they know better to such a degree that they are disgusted by the gall and […]
The sales to list price ratio strengthened in June to nearly 96.5%, not a bad number even pre-pandemic, but a great one within it. A statistically minded person might note that list prices might have come down, thus making this ratio less insightful, less positive. If so, then the closing price to original price should […]
In the above chart one can see that the number of commercial property sales in Miami-Dade county, aka the Miami, Florida metro area, for both improved and vacant land that were recorded in the Miami Realtors MLS, rebounded in the month of June to the lower end of a band that sales fluctuated within pre-pandemic. […]
The effects of coronavirus on employment in the Miami area continue and are clearly evident in the May 1 unemployment rate of 11.3%. This is a drop, however, from the prior month’s level of 11.95%, and remains below the unemployment rate of 12.4% reached in August 2009. I think most people would have anticipated the […]

Certainly these could be characterized as the “duh charts” in this environment. Business is obviously down, and uncertainty is up. That is not news. It is nonetheless interesting to see this all graphically represented. It also serves to remind one that that uncertainty means only what it means, not certain. Put differently, it simply means […]
The chart above shows the number of commercial property sales in Miami-Dade county, frequently considered as the general Miami, Florida metro area, for both improved and vacant land that were recorded in the Miami Realtors MLS from January 2018 to May 2020. Though MLS only picks up a portion of commercial property sales, and thus […]
Last month we noted that though one month does not say much it was worth noting that commercial properties traded at a somewhat normal price in relation to listing price in the COVID-19 affected month of April. Now we have, as can be seen in the chart above, another month with this ratio holding fairly […]
The effects of coronavirus are clearly evident in the April unemployment rate spike in Miami-Dade as of April 1, 2020. At 11.95, the level of unemployment has yet to reach the 12.4% level reached in August 2009. Given the effects of coronavirus on commerce, however, the May 1 numbers, once released, will surely exceed that […]
Almost to the minute I posted about how commercial property inquiries had gone over a cliff, noting it as worthy of duh-chuckle categorization, inquiries began to rebound. This one could go in the category of “Whuuut?” As I mentioned in that prior post, if you know me, you know I’m a data hound. I collect […]
Granted, one month does not a recession make. However it is worth noting that commercial properties traded at a somewhat normal price in relation to listing price in the COVID-19 troubled month of April, as can be seen in the chart above. Sure, this ratio is lower that the prior month, but only a bit, […]

At the end of April of 2019, intermediate yields remain at lows reached in recent weeks. This has, of course, been driven by reduced economic activity due to the COVID-19 pandemic. As can be seen in the accompanying chart, five year rates, which are most closely tracked for commercial property borrowing cost, found themselves under […]
