Unprecendented Times – 2020 Q2 Review

This quarter the pandemic continued its torment on the nation and the world. Shutdowns were extended as the populace struggled at coming to terms with the newly restricted environment and the effects it will have on the economy, businesses and jobs.  Fortunately, congress acted quickly and implemented the CARES Act, providing a massive financial relief bill to keep most businesses afloat and delay massive layoffs.  Concerns abound however that if the shut down continues for a long period of time, the effects on the economy could be devastating.

In regard to commercial real estate, most energy and activity this quarter has been directed toward damage control rather than new ventures or deals. Investors and tenants alike are circling their wagons and hunkering down in an effort to weather the storm. Landlords are attempting to deal with tenant requests for rental concessions, while still staying current on their own mortgage obligations.  Lenders are striving to understand how the pandemic will affect their portfolios and grappling with determining new underwriting criteria in an era with no precedents.  Development projects have come to a standstill, with developers now focusing most of their efforts on minimizing losses.

Effectively, this has been a “hold-on” and “wait-and-see” quarter with deer-in-the-headlight expressions everywhere.
