Jun 27, 2020 - Uncategorized - 0 Comments - Standard

Certainly these could be characterized as the “duh charts” in this environment. Business is obviously down, and uncertainty is up. That is not news. It is nonetheless interesting to see this all graphically represented. It also serves to remind one that that uncertainty means only what it means, not certain. Put differently, it simply means […]

May 27, 2020 - Economy - 0 Comments - Standard

The effects of coronavirus are clearly evident in the April unemployment rate spike in Miami-Dade as of April 1, 2020. At 11.95, the level of unemployment has yet to reach the 12.4% level reached in August 2009.

May 27, 2020 - Trends - 0 Comments - Standard

Almost to the minute I posted about how commercial property inquiries had gone over a cliff, noting it as worthy of duh-chuckle categorization, inquiries began to rebound. This one could go in the category of “Whuuut?” As I mentioned in that prior post, if you know me, you know I’m a data hound. I collect […]

Charts: Commercial Property Inquiries Decline with COVID-19

Apr 27, 2020 - Trends - 0 Comments - Standard

I considered setting up a new topic category for this called “duh.” Chuckle. If you know me, you know I’m a bit of a data hound. I collect and manipulate data as a tool. One set of data I maintain is various types of selling activity, which I log throughout each day. It isn’t perfect, […]

Miami-Dade March Unemployment Numbers Displaying Initial COVID-19 Spike

Apr 15, 2020 - Economy - 0 Comments - Standard

As can be seen in the accompanying chart, after years of steady decline, the unemployment rate spiked notably in March of 2020. This surely is caused by the earlier stages of the COVID-19 Pandemics, and thus will likely be even higher in April. Higher unemployment is bad for the economy, and in turn for commercial […]

The Tight Inventory of Newer 7-10k sf Light Industrial Properties

Mar 20, 2020 - Industrial - 0 Comments - Standard

In my practice I’ve noticed a dearth of moderate sized, 7,000 to 10,000 square feet, light industrial properties. There are numbers of older properties, many of which predate the widespread use of the container ship and the consequent dominance of the modern semi-trailer truck. Older buildings frequently have lower ceilings, lack dock height loading, and […]
