Real Estate Market Cycle Phases
Understanding macro-economic timing is critical for distressed asset acquisition. The primary real estate market cycle phases are:
- Recovery: Vacancies decrease, no new construction is occurring, and demand begins to slowly absorb the excess supply from the previous downturn.
- Expansion: Job growth accelerates, demand outpaces supply, rents and property values rise significantly, and new construction begins.
- Hyper-Supply: Supply begins to exceed demand due to overbuilding, vacancy rates start to rise, and rent growth slows or plateaus.
- Recession: Supply vastly exceeds demand, occupancy falls below the long-term average, property values decline, and distress indicators (foreclosures) spike.
