  • “We believe that the recovery momentum will not slow as much given where we started before the pandemic and all the money pumped into the economy from the government,” George Smith Partners Managing Director Gary Mozer says. “Growth is slowing because of supply chain issues, however conversely, commercial real estate transactions are speeding up because of potential changes to the tax code such as loss of 1031 tax treatment and increasing capital gains rate. This increase in transaction volume should offset much of the effects of the delta variant.”
    Mozer adds that given the amount of money in the monetary system and the pressure it creates to invest, “investors are trying to invest in hard assets as an inflation hedge.” He adds, “Perception that the stock market is fully priced, and the bond markets are producing nominal yields, investors are pouring money into real estate. Real estate has historically outperformed on a risk-adjusted basis when economies are expanding, and inflation is diminishing returns.”
