What Investment Trends Are We Seeing in the Current Market?

Why are investors flooding the commercial real estate market? And how can you make smart and principled investments right now? Portland real estate advisor Matt Bassist walks us through what investment trends we are seeing six months into the pandemic.

Traditionally people invest in stocks, bonds, cash and real estate. But with historically low interest rates, the bond market will take a long time to appreciate and cash does not pay dividends. As a result, we are seeing real estate and stock market investments increase. In the future we expect to see principled investments in commercial real estate increase in popularity, particularly in markets like Portland where the demographics and quality of life have created a unique investment opportunity.
