[...] Perhaps most interestingly, Thompson said, for the first time in 7 years, he’s predicting the possibility that cap rates may actually go up about 25 basis points (he said he’d be surprised if they went up as much as 50 basis points). As a quick refresher, 25 basis points is the same as 0.25%; every 100 basis points is 1.0%. To the relief of buyers out there, cap rates seemed to have finally reached a floor… see slides 34-35.

Marcus,
Great idea for a topic. My take on cap rates is… I have no take… not to sound like a cop-out, but I don’t think I’m qualified enough, i.e. I don’t watch all the major market indicators close enough to really have an opinion on overall National Cap Rates. That’s part of the reason for the post; I’d like to record what they’re saying and then look back on it 6, 12, 18 months from now to see how close their predictions came to be. Perhaps, I’m a bit too focused on running apartments and seeking ways to maximize NOI. I like having a sense of what’s being talked about at the macro-level and simply being aware of the 10,000 ft view.

So what trend do you see for CAP RATES?

Many people believe that cap rates are their way up, but if the FED lowers interest rates again it could put some wind in asset prices and cause cap rates to go down again.

Let’s hope cap rates go up again. Thats a pretty good blog topic.

I would love to hear your view on cap rates.

Best,

Marcus
