Introducing our new US Real Estate Economics Service
George Armitage
Managing Director, Global Real Estate & Specialist Markets Group
I am proud to announce the introduction of the US Real Estate Economics Service, the first extension to our recently-launched Real Estate Economics Service.
The new service helps companies understand the implications of macroeconomic, geopolitical, financial and climate change on private and public real estate performance in the US. The first globally consistent and independent set of real estate forecasts, the service offers regular analysis and commentary from our highly experienced team of real estate economists.
What does the US service include?
- Forecasts & Scenarios: US real estate forecasts and scenarios covering all sectors. Forecasts out to 2050, which are consistent with Oxford’s macroeconomic outlook.
- Written analysis of the impact on supply and demand-side factors, including economic, financial, capital markets and climate change, covering US total and by-property sector
- Event-driven commentary
How to find out more
Our first research focus area has on how real estate investors can minimise the impact on their returns in this period of inflation.
- The research briefing, ‘United States: Look to apartments during periods of high inflation‘, analyses the returns for different property sectors in cities around the US to determine which are least susceptible to high cost-push inflation.
- Our webinar, ‘Where Real Estate investors should look for shelter from high inflation‘ was a valuable session given that in April US headline inflation hit its highest level since December 1981 and the Federal Reserve is entering a front-loaded tightening cycle.
