Investment Activity Up for First Half of Year

Investment capital flows were strong in the first half of the year. According to recent research from Colliers Internationals, investment activity is up 4% over the first half of 2017. Southern California is keeping pace with the national investment trends, with investment activity up for the first half of the year, and multifamily and industrial asset classes are leading in popularity. The momentum is expected to stretch into 2019.

“Southern California is the largest most dynamic market on the West Coast, and there doesn’t seem to be any slow down in the appetite from investors,” Mike Kendall, executive managing director at Colliers International, tells GlobeSt.com. “It has been exceptionally robust, and the only thing that is limiting increases in investment volume. There is still not enough product being sold to satisfy the demand.”
