Over the past few years, we have witnessed increasing rents combined with compressing capitalization rates leading to rapid appreciation in property value. This environment has created a prime opportunity for owners to sell properties at favorable values. With increasing taxes & interest rates along with an influx of competing for rental inventory entering the market, it is only a matter of time before we see another market correction.
