In his latest Market Views, Jon Gray discusses Blackstone’s outlook on the commercial real estate market as we kick off 2024. We believe real estate values are bottoming, and we’re optimistic about the year ahead for several reasons: inflation and interest rates are receding, new supply is continuing to decline, and secular demand continues to grow in our key sectors. To play offense and drive performance, you must navigate through cyclical turmoil and reach the other side to participate in the recovery. That’s where we think we are today. We’re excited to capitalize on deployment opportunities, not waiting for the all-clear signal.

"Real estate prices are bottoming and there's a great opportunity to move fast and buy assets at beaten-down prices" (Jon Gray, Blackstone COO, see in the link below).According to Blackstone and as we've been telling our investors, this seems to be an opportunistic period to acquire assets. This unique window of opportunity arises from current market conditions and the anticipated decrease in interest rates which may drive up property values. Our Buligo Diversified Fund V, launching next month, will capitalize on this potential growth and invest mainly across sectors in which we are active: Multifamily, Senior Housing, Industrial, and Grocery-Anchored Retail. Whether you're an experienced investor or seeking to diversify your portfolio (Accredited Investors only), let's connect and discuss Fund V and our investment strategies.- Blackstone’s Gray Says Real Estate Prices Bottoming https://lnkd.in/dpCBwiiP? -

Good advice from Blackstone; when CRE prices decouple from fundamental value, quiet that noise by focusing on the data. https://lnkd.in/geVkwRJx

When Jon Gray talks, the #CRE industry listens. Blackstone is the 800 lb gorilla. Mr. Gray's talking points summarized: -Real estate prices have bottomed and there’s a great opportunity to move fast and buy assets at beaten-down prices.-The (investor) perception is so negative and yet the value decline has occurred, so when you get into this bottoming period that’s when you want to move-Gray sees a wave of buying opportunities as some banks and even insurance funds may have to sell at discounts; the scale won’t be as bad as it was during the financial crisis.-“As investors, sometimes, one of the risks is that you miss it by being overly cautious and I think now is probably a good time before interest rates come down”What do you think? Is Mr. Gray prescient, or is he promoting his investment positions?
