It depends....

on what you read.....so maybe just stop thinking and just do the work you love.

If the consumer is on high risk alert but the commercial scene looks for the most part pretty good then what is one make of it? In the world of specialization and micro niche, the commercial RE investors and entrepreneurs need the latitude to follow the bouncing ball of commercial trends by staying one bounce ahead of the reporting. This might be obvious to some or reactionary to others but in the mid run (next 5 years) multihousing looks solid and retail looks risky. Then again, people still want to invest in the fact that people gotta eat and buy stuff and the conclusion might be from reading into too much and not seeing the forest for the trees or the reaction to the media action.. Maybe the best crystal ball are the instincts not the analysis? But hey, last time Adam checked this was not looking so hot(or cool as it were) either.

Just remember the Lama's words next time your instincts conflict with the reporting:

"Take into account that great love and great achievements involve great risk."
