WILMETTE, IL—The Boulder Group reports that the recent policy changes by the Federal Reserve have sparked renewed optimism among net lease property investors based on decreasing cap rates, and the narrowing bid-ask spread in the asset class.

In its just released 2Q2019 Net Lease Market Report, The Boulder Group states that cap rates for the single tenant net lease sector have decreased across all three major sectors—retail, office and industrial properties—in the second quarter of 2019. The Boulder Group Report predicts that cap rates in the net lease sector should experience downward pressure, but remain relatively stable throughout 2019.
