Urban Land Institute 2015 Real Estate Trends Study

[Payam Dastmalchi]

I just finished reading through this year's RE trends study done by Urban Land Institute and PwC.  This is actually one of the better industry publications and it covers everything from commercial, hotels, residential and market rankings. For the most part; their trends predications have been spot on the past few years! 

You could go to ULI's website and get the free PDF copy there but according to the study and as far as housing and Apartments are concerned; 2015 will help shape the template for future trends and several markets such as Charlotte and Raleigh-Durham will continue to offer strong investment returns. 

I would suggest everyone to skim through the study and look at their respective markets to see if it matches with their own expectations. It was defiantly interesting to me to read that Washington DC is one of the "risky" real estate bets this year :)
