Asking rental rates continued to decline across most markets by around 2.5% nationally. Leasing activity was subpar and below historical averages, as companies remain cautious. While some economic indicators show improvement, companies are still hesitant to significantly increase hiring or leasing. Most tenants and landlords are focused on short-term extensions and cost reductions to maintain stability during an uncertain time.

FHO Partners YE 2009 MarketWatch Reportfhopartners
The commercial real estate market in the Boston area continued to soften in 2009 due to the effects of the recession. Signs of stabilization are emerging but any significant recovery is not expected until late 2010 or early 2011 at the earliest. Unemployment rates in both the US and Massachusetts increased substantially in 2009, remaining high at 9.7% and 9.4% respectively. The oversupply of available office space in Greater Boston led to declining rental rates and absorption in 2009 and this challenging environment is expected to continue into 2010 and 2011 until more substantial job growth occurs.
1) The document summarizes trade data and trends for Washington state exports in the first half of 2010. Exports increased year-over-year but declined quarter-over-quarter for non-aerospace, non-agriculture exports.
2) Key export markets like Japan, Chile, and Mexico saw declines while Taiwan grew. Major exports included industrial machinery, wood products, and aerospace.
3) The document also profiles Brazil as an emerging export market and discusses opportunities in areas like IT, clean energy, and agriculture equipment.
During the second quarter of 2006, Botswana's economy showed some signs of recovery, though exports performed better than domestic sectors. Inflation peaked in April at 14.2% and is expected to continue declining through the year. Recent liberalization measures in telecoms were welcomed and privatization of state assets was announced. The mining sector benefited from higher commodity prices, though the performance of the non-mining economy remains weak. Long-term forecasts show the Pula reaching parity with the Rand in 5 years, and adopting a floating exchange rate remains challenging due to the structure of Botswana's foreign exchange market.
2015 2Q North American Office Market ReportCoy Davidson
The U.S. office market saw improvements in Q2 2015, with vacancy rates declining and absorption improving. However, the Canadian office market weakened, with rising vacancy rates driven by falling oil prices. Overall North American vacancy fell slightly to 12.7%, with U.S. vacancy down to 13.0% and Canadian vacancy up to 9.1%. Absorption was positive in the U.S. at 23.1 million square feet but negative in Canada at -0.5 million square feet. The outlook remains positive for the U.S. office market but negative for Canada due to economic challenges from low oil prices.
The Chicago office market saw modest employment growth of 1.2% in Q2 2006, adding 44,600 jobs. While several sectors grew, manufacturing continued declining with a 1.7% drop. The local economy benefits from a $15 billion expansion at O'Hare Airport expected to generate 90,000 to 195,000 jobs. Population growth of 0.6% annually brings modest demand. Office fundamentals are stable with slow rent growth and falling vacancy as absorption exceeds construction.

National Presto Industries operates three business segments: Housewares, Defense Products, and Absorbent Products. The author believes Presto is undergoing an operational restructuring that will lead to higher returns, but the market has not fully appreciated this due to Presto's history, uncertainty around its defense segment, and lack of analyst coverage. Using a sum-of-parts valuation, the author estimates Presto's intrinsic value at $112 per share based on conservative estimates for each segment plus net cash, and would be willing to pay $90 per share, a 20% discount, given applied conservatism. At $105 per share, Presto trades at attractive multiples of cash flow and EBITDA on a consolidated basis.
C&W - MONTREAL OFFICE MARKETBEAT - Q4 2012 Guy Masse
The Montreal office market saw slowing growth in Q4 2012, with overall absorption dropping slightly to -15,000 square feet due to large blocks of vacant space returning to the market. However, vacancy rates remained steady at 7.7% overall and 6.7% direct. Suburban office markets performed better than the downtown core, with over 160,000 square feet of positive absorption offsetting increased vacancies downtown. Looking ahead, nearly 750,000 square feet of new downtown construction is expected to alleviate class A space shortages while stable rental rates and expanding suburban options will boost future leasing activity.

3) The tight supply of Class A industrial space continues to drive down availability rates and put upward pressure on lease rates, fueling new construction activity across major industrial markets.

Commerce Real Estate Solutions 3rd Qtr 2010 Retail ReportJessica Parrish
Vacancy rates in the Las Vegas retail market fell slightly in the third quarter of 2010 to 12.99%, while average lease rates continued to decline to $1.63 per square foot. Unemployment in Las Vegas remains high at 14.7%, the highest in the nation, and is still impacting the local economy. While some indicators show signs of improvement, such as a rise in taxable sales, the outlook remains cautious as the full effects of high unemployment are still uncertain. The retail market recovery is expected to be slow as vacant space is absorbed and consumer confidence and spending increase.

Q1 - 2015 North American Industrial HighlightsCoy Davidson
The North American industrial vacancy rate declined 15 basis points to 6.7% in Q1 2015. Net absorption was strong at 63.1 million square feet, while 52.0 million square feet of new space was added. Healthy demand and a need for modern space has led to an upswing in construction activity in both the US and Canada. Tightening market conditions have pushed up industrial rents, with average US warehouse rents rising 2.2% to $5.16 per square foot.
The apartment sector was not spared from the weakness and volatility that pervaded US real and financial economies in the fourth quarter. Net absorption for the fourth quarter turned negative, with the market giving up over 13,000 apartment units and pushing the national vacancy rate up 40 basis points from the third quarter. Read the complete apartment report.
In stark contrast to the steep decline in occupied space across the office, retail, and apartment sectors throughout 2008, completions were delivered in a relatively uniform fashion each quarter. However, over 40% of the projects scheduled to come online in the fourth quarter have either been delayed to 2009 or cancelled. Read the complete construction report.

Vacancy rates in the Las Vegas industrial market rose to 15.1% in the third quarter of 2010, up from 15.0% the previous quarter. Average asking lease rates remained steady at $0.60 per square foot. With developers halting new projects, there were no new construction completions during the quarter and only a small amount of space remains under construction. The outlook continues to be cautious as the market remains impacted by weak economic conditions and high unemployment.
