No More Horsin’ Around

When the high-end horse market is surpassing previous peak pricing, people must be feeling good. Other things you don’t see at the bottom? “Developer eyes tallest skyscraper in [BLANK].” At any rate, there’s no reason for us regular folk to go chasing exotic investments when, as Ben Carlson reminds us, consistently saving more and investing in ourselves is a worthy goal. And while we’re talking about saving, you know who does that a lot apparently? Baby boomers! Who are living longer! Than ever! And according to the San Francisco Fed, that means lower interest rates are here to stay. For the time being, looking like that’s also pretty darn supportive of commercial real estate prices.

That’s your view from the stREIT. Have a great weekend!
