2024 Elections (What Investors Need to Know) ep. 361

REady2Scale - Real Estate Investing

How do elections shape the real estate market, and what should investors be aware of? In this episode of REady2Scale, Ellie Perlman, founder and CEO of Blue Lake Capital, delves into the impact of the 2024 elections on the real estate market, particularly multifamily assets. Drawing from historical data and her extensive experience, Ellie breaks down the short-term and long-term effects of election outcomes on real estate investments.

Key Takeaways:

-Short-term Uncertainty: Elections often cause short-term market jitters due to political uncertainty. Investors may hold off on decisions until the political landscape becomes clearer, leading to temporary dips in market activity and property values.

-Long-term Stability: Despite short-term fluctuations, the long-term impact of elections on multifamily performance is typically minimal. Strong market fundamentals, such as consistent demand for rental housing, help sustain multifamily investments regardless of the political party in power.

-Economic Factors:

1. Interest Rates and Investor Confidence: Fluctuating interest rates during election years can impact investor confidence and investment decisions.

2. Policy Changes and Taxation: Potential changes in tax policies and regulations depending on the winning party can influence investor behavior and market dynamics.

3. Job Market and Consumer Confidence: A strong job market boosts rental demand and occupancy rates, while economic uncertainty can have the opposite effect.

4. Availability of Credit: Economic volatility during election years can tighten credit availability, affecting property prices and investment opportunities.

Conclusion

Ellie advises investors to stay informed about political developments and their potential impacts on the multifamily market. By focusing on the long-term fundamentals and understanding the interplay between economic factors, investors can navigate the uncertainties of election years with confidence.
