Predicting turning points in the rent cycle[1]
This document analyzes predicting turning points in the rent cycle for the Dublin office market using the natural vacancy rate (NVR) concept. It finds that Dublin's NVR was around 5.2% from 1978-1998 but increased dramatically to 15% from 1999-2009, more than double the commonly assumed rate of 7%. This suggests the Dublin office market may recover from its current oversupply situation sooner than expected as the actual vacancy rate of over 23% needs to fall only to the estimated NVR of 15% rather than the assumed 7% rate. Allowing the NVR to change over time provides a more accurate analysis of market cycles compared to traditional approaches that treat it as constant.
