NJ Industrial Real Estate Hanging ON!

With whispers of up to a year's free rent on a select building or two, the modern solid newer warehouses in Central NJ are mostly occupied and rent producing at good rates. The problems in the market occur in the secondary locations in which the vacancy rises in periods we are going through. There just aren't as any companies looking for space. The sales market is still waiting for the spring thaw and looks like we will have one, it's just a matter of what month this year. Yes, in 2009, there will be a slight rise in the back half of the year in sales than the front half. All most people are waiting for is the treasury dept. to decide what rules we are going to play by this year and then we can apply it to the valuing of real estate asset classes and the debt markets can begin to trade again.

All that said enjoy the Valentines/ Presidents Day LONG weekend, its just what the Dr. ordered as we await the passage of the bill of a lifetime. Enjoy it!
