How the Commercial Real Estate Market Is Fairing
Jason Stipp, Morningstar's editor, interviews Jeremy Glaser, markets editor with Morningstar, on the ongoing challenges the commercial real estate market is facing. While it may be tempting to assume that real estate is real estate, and terms like "residential" and "commercial" don't much matter when it comes to forecasting trends, Mr. Glaser has some pithy words about such assumptions starting at 00:46. If "extend and pretend" doesn't sound like a technical term to you, then you may be surprised by what you hear at 01:16. You may especially enjoy the commentary starting at 02:08, if you are curious about how commercial real estate investors view the Obama administration.
