Recommendation Since we are currently underweight in real estate for the portfolio, we recommend that we stay underweight. Negatives: We believe that interest rates will continue to rise which will undercut companies that are used as bond proxies. Higher interest rates raise the cost of borrowing for commercial and homeowners Online shopping hurts retail space Positives: Growth in economy/corporate tax cut: office space demand Higher wages/lower unemployment: housing/apartment demand, retail demand, increased need for inventory space. Currently the negatives outweigh the positives as real estate demand tends to lag a growing economy.
