Covid-19 Infections /  by Guest User

Over the past year in the US, COVID has been a national tragedy with about 600,000 deaths. Nearly 80% of those dying were over 65. Today, there are about 100M unvaccinated under 65 and another 10M unvaccinated over 65. In the next year, another 100,000 - 150,000 American will die from COVID (nearly all off those deaths will come from the unvaccinated). As COVID becomes endemic about 50,000-75,000 will die annually because we will never get 100% of the population vaccinated. COVID is not going away.

We need to learn to live without fear and move forward because our best days are still ahead of us. Getting the vaccine is the right move, but it is still a free country and everyone should be free to choose.

Onward!

Open-Air REIT Stocks /  by Mauricio Abela

1613131196557.jpg

Major open-air retail REIT stocks had a major rally over the last 30 days and they have now recovered more than half of their losses. Clearly, investors see green shoots, but there is still a long way to go. As a group the REITs are trading at a huge discount to their NAV, net asset value. REITs own about 20% of major metro retail assets. Is the market telling us that the nimble entrepreneur shopping center owners will beat out the big corporate players? I'm rooting for the little guy!

Florida Sales Summary - 2005-2020 /  by Guest User

Screen-Shot-2021-02-10-at-3.41.44-PM.jpg

Who turned out the lights? Retail investment sales crashed in 2020 nearly matching the catastrophic year of 2009. It hardly ever gets worse than that. Florida is a bellwether state in the US and we watch it like a hawk. Just multiply what's happening in Florida by 15 and that’s happening in the entire US. We’ve posted the details on all the retail property sales over $15M that occurred in the major metropolitan areas of Florida over the last three years on our blog.

Our reports include: prices, cap rates, buyers, sellers, brokers, NOI and even the vacancy at the time of sale. The more everyone knows about what's really happening the better off our marketplace will be. Onward!

World Population /  by Guest User

1613090469797.jpg

When I was born there were only 3.0B people. Today there are nearly 8.0B and somehow, in the last 60 years, we managed to thrive. The world population is projected to reach 9.9 billion by 2050, an increase of more than 25% from the current 2020 population of 7.8 billion. Total fertility rates are below the replacement level of 2.1 births per woman in 91 countries and territories, mostly in Asia and Europe, as well as in the United States. What a great time to be alive. Notice that the world's population growth rate is dropping like a rock. America is still the leader. Let's all help keep it that way.
