TESTIMONY OF JAMES HELSEL, PARTNER, RSR REALTORS
ON BEHALF OF
THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS®
BEFORE
U.S. JOINT ECONOMIC COMMITTEE HEARING REGARDING
“COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE: DO RISING DEFAULTS POSE A SYSTEMIC THREAT?”

"It is estimated that the commercial real estate sector supports more than 9 million jobs and generates billions of dollars in federal, state and local tax revenue. Nonetheless, the overall economic downturn and crisis in the broader financial markets is directly impacting not only the fundamentals of commercial real estate finance, but also the outlook for recovery. And while the commercial and multifamily real estate markets play a vital role in the economy, these markets are now experiencing the worst liquidity challenge since the early 1990’s."

"Many of us in commercial real estate have been warning for some time that the liquidity crisis facing our industry has the potential to wreak havoc on the broader economy. In fact, an apt description for the situation is that commercial real estate is the ―next shoe to drop. The collapse of the nation’s housing market had and continues to have a huge impact on the entire global financial system. Likewise, it is important to recognize the economic ramifications of a widespread collapse in the commercial real estate markets."

"While the economy is still clearly in one of the worst downturns since the Great Depression, signs of improvement are now starting to surface. Rather than looking at the real estate asset class as a whole, American seeks to identify those markets that are likely to lead or lag in the eventual recovery. We anticipate that market selection will be a key driver of investment returns over the next part of the cycle, as we expect there to be over a four-year span between when the first markets enter the recovery phase versus the last markets. In this newsletter, we identify our top four tactical market picks by property type for an early recovery and provide reasons that support our expectation of a relatively large return differential between markets in the impending recovery."
