Interest in real estate is building again. A survey of professionals finds that, while muted in some respects, institutional and other investors "are in" for 2013.
We tend to look at institutional investors as among the most savvy and informed players in finance. And there is little reason to challenge that maxim.
For those looking to invest in real assets such as strategic land, a report titled, "Emerging Trends in Real Estate, The Second Act: Optimism Returns 2013 Europe," says that real estate as an investment in Europe is one of the brighter spots in the Eurozone Crisis environment. Half the respondents to the research for this report affirmed that they are optimistic about real estate in very general terms. Relative to institutional investors, the report offers the following:
So while institutional investors pursue a mix of real estate asset types, there clearly are signs that this is a category of interest and widespread participation. As should be clear, raw land as well as built properties are far from passive and liquid investments - professionals are required to guide the investment through its various stages over multiple years. Individuals who are interested in raw land investment are encouraged to work with professional, independent investment advisors to identify if and when a land investment fits into their investment risk matrix.
