Video: Reis Economist Barbara Denham Presents Retail Property Sector Update and Forecast

Barbara Denham, Economist with Reis, appears on America’s Commercial Real Estate Show to discuss retail real estate. In this segment, Ms. Denham notes that mall vacancy rates made a big jump in the last quarter from 8.6% in Q2 to 9.1% in Q3, as a number of Sears and Bon-Ton stores closed. She noted this is the biggest such increase since the housing crisis. Shopping center vacancies, i.e. more open style as opposed to close, had relatively little change in vacancy rates. Reis is a leading commercial real estate data source in the country, endeavoring to provide an advantage to its customers as they deliver sophisticated solutions to streamline deal flow for enhanced efficiencies across every part of the commercial real estate industry.
