Here's What's Happening In The Market, Here’s What This Means For You

Investors Face Inflationary Environment for the First Time in Years

Due in large measure to the rebound from the pandemic, inflation has re-emerged as an undeniable factor for investors to reckon with. And while commercial real estate has long been regarded as a potential route for investors looking to hedge against inflation risks, many market participants haven’t faced such a steep inflationary environment before.

“An entire generation of CRE market participants has heard more about the benefits of this inflation hedge than seen it in action,” said Ryan Severino, chief economist at JLL, noting that it has been well over a decade since the Great Recession. “With inflation subdued for such a long period, there haven’t been many chances for the sector to prove out its reputation.”

That’s changing. The Consumer Price Index rose 0.9% in April over the previous month, the fastest monthly rise since 1982. In May, the year-over-year growth in the inflation rate was 5%, the fastest annual increase since 2008.
