LONDON,/EWORLDWIRE/Jan. 4, 2008 --- During an interview at the America 2030 Equity-sponsored Reuters 2008 Global Real Estate Outlook, American commercial real estate expert Val Sklarov said, "America is hosting a 50 percent off sale, and foreign investors need to think beyond condos and golf villas and invest in U.S. commercial real estate." "Global economic instability coupled with historically low, long-term interest rates offers foreign real estate buyers currently an opportunity that only presents itself roughly once every 20 to 30 years. When the dollar remains low for a sustained enough period, foreign investors can capitalize on the opportunity created by that sustained downtrend, and they can expect returns three to five times their capital in less than ten years," said Sklarov.
With the dollar swinging toward the bottom end of its historical seven-and-a-half year fluctuations, Sklarov told attendees that foreign investors should consider investing in U.S. commercial real estate. Sklarov said that not only is one-third of the world's institutional quality real estate located in the U.S., but the country also possesses the most stable and diverse commercial real estate market.
Sklarov believes the dollar's temporary low mark presents phenomenal commercial real estate opportunities for those holding the Euro, British Pound Sterling, Canadian Dollar and Ruble currencies.
While now is the time for investment in U.S. commercial real estate, Sklarov notes three reasons why the U.S. dollar will always rebound:
- The consistently low U.S. unemployment rate, currently 4.7 percent compared to the Euro Area unemployment rate of 7.2 percent
- Lower corporate and personal taxes
- The fact that the United States is still the world's most resilient and diverse economy.
"The U.S. economy has become more regional - it's no longer a national economy," Sklarov says. "It's like having five EU countries rolled in to one. The long term fundamentals have been and remain in the United States' favor."
