Standing on Solid Ground - Q1 2024

Fourth quarter property performance capped a year of pervasive pressure in response to the interest rate tightening that began in early 2022. Commercial real estate investment performance remained positive through most of 2022 as it typically lags macro-economic developments. The first crack occurred in the fourth quarter of 2022 with a negative 3.5% total return. The fourth quarter of 2023 produced the fifth consecutive negative quarter bringing 2023 full year total return to a negative 7.9%.
