Strong investment demand and abundant capital drove a resurgence in commercial real estate investment activity in 2021, according to the 2022 U.S. Real Estate Market Outlook by CBRE, the global commercial real estate services company.
“Capital availability will continue to support a buoyant acquisition market in 2022, with equity capital targeting U.S. real estate near all-time highs and low-cost financing readily available,” said the report, released Dec. 8.
“Total investment volume in 2022 is projected to increase 5%-10% over 2021 levels, which are on track to roughly equal pre-pandemic volumes from 2019 (currently the highest annual total on record).”
