However post 2018, east bay cities overlapped SF while SF started the decline when the leftish gov. took over the city LOLHow these cities are pivoting from cash flow to appreciation market in specific time AKA the increase of absorption rate is indeed very fascinating.

This quarter's activity was driven by several large lease transactions.Year-to-date absorption is around 15 million square feet, positioning us to finish the year at around 20 million square feet.

what exactly does absorption mean, how did you run the report and what makes absorption above 6% a buyers market. 

If you are still interested in learning more about syndication I am always happy to connect.The first steps I would take are:- Learn to underwrite a deal (especially a quick and dirty analysis as you will be looking at 100's of deals)- Pick 3 markets you want to become an expert in (factor in population growth, job diversity, landlord-friendly, and new developments vs net absorption to start)- Build a team of individuals who can bring skillsets that you are necessarily strong in.

Alternatively, you can also probably look up absorption rate data from your MLS (my MLS provides it). 

What if your absorption rates are off, rent rates, construction takes longer, construction defectsDid you confirm with the seller they will already seller finance?

The lower the concession rate means that sellers are in a position where they don't have to offer incentives.Supply/Demand and Absorption - By comparing the amount of homes for sale, and the amount of sales per month, you're able to find the monthly supply of homes in a particular neighborhood.

If vacancy is low and decreasing and the number of building permits pulled are moderate and slightly increasing, it should mean that demand for housing is going up in that market and supply is growing but not yet saturated.To expand on this, we added absorption rate and affordability.

Most recently, absorption has declined by 1.1 million SF over the past 12 months.While demand on the whole has been negative, shifts in post-pandemic shopping behavior has benefitted neighborhood centers.

Despite the increased supply, vacancy rates remained relatively unaffected due to strong net absorption, with over 30 million square feet in 2020, over 33 million square feet in 2021 (the highest on record), and 29 million square feet in 2022.
