Good News in the Third Quarter for Commercial Real Estate

Some good news for the commercial real estate industry. Things are looking up in the third quarter, but may be too soon to make any hasty statements.

Index shows rise in commercial real estate values

11:15 AM CST on Tuesday, November 3, 2009

An index of commercial real estate sales values took a surprising higher turn in the third quarter.

Prices of properties sold by institutional investors rose nationwide by more than 4 percent in the quarter, the MIT Center for Real Estate said Tuesday.

It was the first such jump in commercial real estate prices in more than a year and the biggest quarterly increase in more than two years.

“One quarter does not a trend make, and we are still well below normal trading volume,” David Geltner, director of research at MIT’s real estate center, said in the new report. “Nevertheless, this is the strongest sign of a bottom that we’ve had in two years.”

Along with the increase in purchase prices, the MIT index also showed that prices investors said they are willing to pay were up a “robust” 12 percent – the first such increase in eight consecutive quarters.

The MIT price index tracks sales of commercial properties including shopping centers, apartment complexes and office towers.

The latest increase is first positive sign in a commercial property market that’s been battered by the credit crunch and recession.

Commercial property values at the end of the third quarter were 36.5 percent below their 2007 peak, according to MIT’s index. But that’s an improvement from the 39 percent value loss at the end of second quarter 2009.

Robert Shumake, Spoke On Investing in Real Estate And how to Avoid Mortgage Fraud

Mortgage Fraud Victim Robert Shumake , Generates Public Awareness what to do to avoid be a victim of Mortgage Fraud

Investigations by the US Federal Bureau of claim mortgage fraud is one of the fastest growing white-collar crimes in the United States. Robert Shumake learned this the hard way, when he purchases property in Detroit. Only in his dreams was he to be the victim of mortgage fraud.

Robert Shumake went to sell a house that he purchased and rehabbed, he found out that someone had “stolen” the property and removed his name from the title with a fraudulent quit claim deed! The new owner had moved into the home and took out building permits to work on the property.

Shumake had no idea it would take him two and half years and nearly $60,000 in legal fees to resolve the matter. Mortgage fraud is hard to prove with signed agreements and documents in place and recorded. It is possible to spend thousands of dollars and still not get your property back.

The sad part is that almost anyone can be a victim of mortgage fraud, even a real estate industry professional like Shumake, who is the owner of Inheritance Capital Group in Southfield, Michigan. Mr.Shumake’s company manages and develops real estate. Robert Shumake experience led him to join with Michigan state officials to launch a mortgage fraud task force to aid victims of mortgage fraud and promote consumer awareness and prevention.
