Some of my predictions for 2019 include the following:
Strong job growth and reasonably low vacancy rates should continue into 2019 which will create a positive atmosphere for commercial, residential and industrial properties through 2020.
The expectation is a slight rise in vacancy rates in the office sector with a slight downturn in the rental rate growth for 2019.
In the apartment sector, vacancy rates should remain low and rental rate growth should remain positive in the upcoming year.
