REITs and Commercial Real Estate Prospects

In this interesting clip, Alexander Goldfarb, an analyst at Sandler O'Neill & Partners LP, discusses REITs and the prospects for commercial real estate in the coming months. Noting that rents "may have stabilized" in most markets, Goldfarb also suggests that for various reasons, "real estate may stall in this . . . suspended state for some time." Worth a listen.
