Net Lease Sales Strong in Q4

As the year draws to a close, net lease professionals are optimistic about the economic new year. Net lease sales have steadily increased this year over last and many expect this trend to continue into next year. According to Real Capital Analytics (RCA) single tenant sales volume has increased 47% in the 12 months through 3rd quarter 2011 and 65% in the 3rd quarter alone. This matches what net lease professionals are witnessing on the street – a pointed increase in net lease sales at year’s end.

It is also interesting to note that according to the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) consumer spending has also been increasing over last year – increasing by 2.1% in Q1, 0.7% in Q2 and 2.3% in Q3. These signs point to a healthier economy and net lease market.
