Preliminary U.S. jobs figures for April are dropping in tomorrow morning, the general consensus being that we’ll be looking at a double-digit unemployment rate for the first time since October 2009. As real estate braces for more figures that will be difficult for even the most hardened investor to digest, the big question is how long will it take for the market to snap back. Since the crisis began, more than 30 million Americans filed initial unemployment claims, accounting for about 20 percent of the country’s workforce.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe good news is that once we begin to see the lockdown ending in a month or so, we expect to see a fairly rapid snapback of the headline unemployment rate down from 15 to 16 percent to something closer to 8.5 percent,\u201d<\/em> Spencer Levy, CBRE head of research for the Americas & senior economic advisor, told Commercial Property Executive<\/em>, noting that many of the lost jobs are in the service sector, primarily restaurants, travel, hotels and related industries.<\/p>\n

The 8.5 percent (or so) will then \u201cbleed back down closer to where we were a few months ago over the next three years, getting down around 4.5 percent. That first drop will be rapid. The second drop will take some time.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

According to Mortgage Bankers Association Chief Economist Jamie Woodwell, \u201cOne of the challenges we have right now is that the situation is unfolding so quickly that a lot of the economic data we’re getting may not be all that indicative of where we are at the time we’re getting the data.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

The lack of clarity has prompted many property owners, lenders and other parties facing uncertainty about the virus and its impact on the economy to \u201cpause new activity and to really focus on their existing portfolios,\u201d<\/em> Woodwell said. With more clarity, that trend will reverse with more market participants re-entering the market and looking for opportunities.<\/p>\n

Getting past headline numbers and into some of the details, NAREIT economist Calvin Schnure said he\u2019ll be looking at tomorrow\u2019s jobs numbers to reveal something about the \u201cdepth and breadth\u201d of the weakening and how it impacts the rest of the economy, including commercial real estate. <\/p>\n

The \u201cdepth\u201d will be measured in the sheer number of job losses. The \u201cbreadth\u201d will be the impact on income by looking at the change in average hourly earnings and the change in hours worked. Schnure said he will also be looking to see how much the job losses reported in March have spread outside of retail, leisure and hospitality\u2014all service sector jobs\u2014and into conventional business employment and financial activities and so forth, which impact the office sector.<\/p>\n

Looking at asset classes<\/h2>\n

Moody\u2019s Analytics Head of CRE Economics Victor Calanog said that, with the exception of senior housing, we might not actually see that much distress on the occupancy side for most asset classes.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is too soon to see movement, and for multifamily, a lot of households are hunkered in place because of quarantine rules and rent support. The hits will come sooner on the rent side as parties renegotiate terms,\u201d<\/em> he said. \u201cAnd hotels, of course, have never been in a situation where RevPAR has gone to zero.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

The industrial sector might stand to benefit from the shift to more online activity. \u201cOver the long run, trends that have been building up steam in retail (like the shift to online channels) and office (like the decline in usage intensity on a square foot per employee basis) will likely accelerate,\u201d<\/em> Calanog concluded.<\/p>\n

Through April at least, most of the sectors were able to collect most of their rents, according to Schnure. In fact, a whopping 98 percent of NAREIT members say they have been collecting all their rents, including the apartment sector. Many retail REITs, however, malls and shopping centers, have tenants that are having difficulty making their rent payments.<\/p>\n

While all experts agree the “Corona Crash” has almost nothing in common with the 2008 financial crisis, the commercial real estate industry learned many valuable lessons from the earlier downturn and used the extended bull market to shore up balance sheets, paying down and restructuring debt and lengthening maturities while also raising equity. In addition to cash and securities, they also have lines of credit. \u201cFor most REITs, they have enough to hold them over for many months or a year without running out of cash,\u201d<\/em> Schnure said.<\/p>\n

Levy of CBRE pointed out that the SBA Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loans have allowed many businesses to continue paying rent. The brokerage anticipates that the industry will hit bottom for rent collection in May or June. Once rent rolls are known, that will allow industry professionals to conduct price discovery and get a better idea of the full impact on property values.<\/p>\n

The question tomorrow morning is not how bad the numbers will be, as weekly unemployment claims have already braced the market for the worst. \u201cWe’ll be able to bear it and move forward,\u201d<\/em> Levy maintained. \u201cWe know the bad news in front of us. But once the doors are opening, we think that there is light in front of us as well.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
