Market Report

2020 Q2 | State of the Market (MS&C Commercial, Sarasota)

State of the Market

Sarasota, Manatee & Charlotte Counties

The effects of the coronavirus outbreak on the tri-county area commercial market remain unclear. Although data from the second quarter is providing greater clarity about local conditions and the short-term real estate outlook, there remains uncertainty surrounding market dynamics and long-term effects. Companies are evaluating what their mid-to-long-term footprint looks like in a post-COVID world. In a year of evident political and economic uncertainty, we expect to see additional tempering in metrics — including asking rent growth and construction starts — as companies look for additional signals of where their businesses are headed later this year. MSC Commercial is committed to the goals of our clients and those of the commercial real estate industry. We will continue to monitor market movements as this situation evolves. Though the way we operate has changed, our team continues to support all our clients. Please feel free to contact us at any time.
