WHERE DOES THE STATE OF RETAIL INVESTMENT SALES STAND? Here, we will focus on Prince Georges County, Maryland. Eric Pinkett and I are talking to retail owners and investors almost every day, and here is what we are seeing/hearing anecdotally, and in the data. In a higher interest rate environment, investors are more cautious about where they invest their capital, and retail is one of the asset classes that we continue to see strong demand throughout the Baltimore-Washington Corridor. Specifically, well-located neighborhood retail—both non-grocery anchored, and grocery-anchored—with or without value-add potential (although everyone wants to add value).    Between 2021 and 2022, values in PG County notably improved, mirroring trends in the broader markets. However, in 2023, both values and overall transaction volume experienced a significant decline, aligning with the rise in interest rates and decreased demand for the product. The substantial fluctuations in value are noteworthy and may indicate a heightened sensitivity to consumer spending, and tenants' ability to pay increasingly higher rents.   The golden rule in real estate has always been: Location, Location, Location, and it is evidenced throughout the retail landscape in Prince George's County. Some of the areas where we're seeing stronger values include Laurel, along the Route 1 Corridor; Bowie, particularly in neighborhood pockets with strong residential presence and good demographics; and, in the more southern corridor of Route 1, in College Park, which has traditionally shown stronger retail valuations with the University of Maryland supporting the product.   Another consideration retail investors may want to consider is the value-add potential. If you're looking for something without issues, you're going to be competing with a lot of other investors. If you can find some "problems" that you can get very good at solving, focusing an investment strategy on the retail centers with those problems that you can solve, will reduce competition, and increase the potential overall return.   Lastly, a long-term purview has succeeded time and time again for investors we speak with- but patient capital and "diamond hands" are critical characteristics of this strategy. 😉 The data reflects a shorter timeline, but over the long-term retail values have increased in this market. Holding for the long term helps investors avoid being caught in short-term market volatility, and macroeconomic influencers, effectively reducing risk.   What are you seeing in your markets?
