SALT LAKE CITY, UT--(Marketwired - Aug 6, 2013) - Cushman & Wakefield | Commerce (www.comre.com), released its Investment Snapshot Report for Utah today. The report shows that to date, Utah has seen $566,950,526 in commercial real estate investment transactions and the state is on track to top more than $1 billion in sales by the end of the year.
"The trends we reported in Q1 2013 continued to move through Q2, and Utah is on track to wrap up a very exciting year when it comes to commercial real estate investment sales," said Michael M. Lawson, president and CEO of Cushman & Wakefield | Commerce. "With more than $500 million in transactions so far this year, Utah is poised to break the $1 billion mark for the first time since 2007. If that happens, it will be only the fourth time this market has ever reached that milestone."
Interest rates are still low; however they are expected to increase sometime in the future. This expectation is driving many buyers to lock in deals while interest rates are still low. Looking forward, the report indicates that several office properties will be coming to the market soon; in the meantime, it is the apartment market that is dominating the sector with $237,379,750 in sales year to date.
