Tariffs are currently a focal point of national attention. In a recent SIOR webinar, economist Mark Dotzour highlighted that it’s not surprising that other countries are upset by the U.S. reciprocating tariffs. After all, many have benefited from unbalanced trade practices with the U.S. for over four decades. Dotzour also emphasized the importance of addressing the trade deficit. Failure to do so could lead to increased inflation, which typically favors real estate assets over others.
While uncertainty looms on a national level, the Southeast market remains resilient. Currently, we are maintaining a healthy 6.0% vacancy rate in the Columbia Market. Additionally, with Scout Motors’ suppliers beginning to explore available spaces, we anticipate upward pressure on rents as these spaces are leased over the next 5-6 months.
