PwC Investor Survey Highlights Positive Growth Outlook in Real Estate

Investors expect positive trends to continue in the commercial real estate industry for the rest of 2014 despite anticipating rising interest rates, according to consulting firm PwC.

A PwC survey of real estate investors in the second quarter of 2014 noted that respondents expressed confidence that the industry would handle anticipated increases in interest rates without serious disruption to its recovery.

At the same time, competition among buyers is likely to remain strong and keep prices for the best properties elevated, the PwC survey said.
