Event
January 2019 LAI Luncheon
The economy is firing on nearly all cylinders, and business and consumer confidence is high. For those of us paying attention, however, the alarm bells are clanging as often occurs when we approach a market peak. This may be as good as it gets! The market is clearly jittery, a trade war is in partial play, foreign markets are slowing or worse, interest rates, the federal deficit and the dollar are rising, the yield curve has inverted, corporate debt has reached scary levels, and the US economy has been slowing. Add in political turmoil and it is hard to see strong continued growth. But is this the harbinger of merely slower growth, a downturn or the R word as some are forecasting? And what is the role of real estate in all this and how should this impact our investment strategy? And more importantly, how will this impact us here in the Bay Area? Please join Alan Billingsley, Andrew Nelson, along with LAI members and guests for a spirited conversation on the outlook for commercial real estate in 2019 as we pass a market peak.
