Local real estate market dynamics are driven by supply and demand for a particular property type. There are a wide range of factors that affect supply and demand in the local market. Values tend to broadly affected by the general level of business activity and population growth. Interest rate trends, because of their impact on business activity, also have a general impact on real estate market dynamics.

The residential housing market and commercial real estate markets differ with respect to changes in the overall economy. The residential housing market has historically tended to lead the overall real estate market into and out of recessions. Conversely, the commercial real estate market has a tendency to follow rather than lead the overall economy, it is highly local in nature. Economic activity at the local level or within the region will have a larger impact on property valuations than general overall economic activity. The health of a regional economy normally depends in part on the diversity of business and the base of employment within the region.

Higher underwriting standards coupled with public market discipline has resulted from the commercial mortgage backed securities has helped avoid the severe boom and bust cycles. The thing to remember is that there are opportunities in each phase of the real estate cycle.

Despite the recent slowdown in the real estate market, there are companies and individuals that are finding an upside.

The current troubled credit market has inspired a number of initiatives on the part of opportunists. For instance, international real estate investment banking firms, have started distressed debt funds. These funds are designed to snap up debt trading at cheap prices in the wake of 2007's lending crisis.

You do hear about huge discounts and huge sales from the major - particularly, publicly traded - builders, who are clearly struggling and really want to off-load a lot of their inventory.

Homebuilders, primarily public homebuilders, have so much inventory, they've got to get rid of it, and they're marking it down significantly. The residential homebuilders are so distressed with debt that they have to unload land parcels, so people are looking for ways to buy that land at a distressed price.

Right now many firms of all sizes are raising funds to capitalize on a tremendous buying opportunities dedicated solely to buying properties that fall victim to recent illiquidity in the real estate market.
