Notably, prices in 2023 tumbled by 12% compared to the previous year. The average capitalization rate paid in 2023 stood at 6.75%, signaling a significant 20% decrease in value for asset sales over $15 million. Amid these challenging circumstances, investors like Woolbright anticipate a turnaround in 2024, with hopes pinned on the Federal Reserve's potential interest rate cuts to reignite the retail property market.
