Stock Market Gains Turning to Real Estate

It appears that some of the money captured by investors in the especially bullish 2017 stock market may be redeployed into real estate in the near future.  Many people believe that we are near the end of this market cycle on Wall Street, and those who have the discipline to remove gains from stocks are seeking alternative investments.  Real estate is an obvious use for that, since cash has been returning virtually nothing over the past few years, and bonds have been lackluster in many cases as well. 

We are therefore seeing heavy demand for investment properties of all stripes, and are having trouble finding enough to fulfill the interest generated.  Our hope is that baby boomers who are often selling, relocating, or retiring, will put new buildings and parcels onto the market in the coming months, as it is more likely now that such offerings will sell.  Even users are more inclined to purchase, as they too are looking for a safer return.

The message here?  It's a great time to consider liquidating an underutilized or unwanted real property, and maybe a last chance to get into a new property at somewhat lower prices.
