Dislocated Opportunities in the Current Real Estate Market
We are in the middle of one of the most challenging years the real estate market has witnessed in modern times. COVID-19 and civil unrest have ushered in significant uncertainty affecting real estate assets of all kinds. It is truly difficult to predict how asset prices will be evaluated and at what discount deals will begin to get done. There is a significant dispersion between buyer and seller expectations. The Federal bailout packages are replacing lost revenue and putting money directly into the system to delay price discovery. Our panel of experts will provide detailed insights on where and how they are navigating these unchartered waters and where they are placing their bets once for once the dust settles. They will also discuss how to play the court system to find opportunities.
