Question 1

What is my commercial property actually worth in today’s market?

Accepted Answer

Commercial property value is primarily driven by income, risk, and market demand—not emotion or replacement cost. Buyers focus on net operating income (NOI), lease stability, tenant quality, remaining lease term, expenses, location, and prevailing cap rates for similar assets. In South Florida, pricing can vary dramatically by submarket and asset type, so accurate valuation requires current, hyper-local data rather than national averages.

Question 2

Is now a good time to buy or sell commercial real estate, or should I wait?

Accepted Answer

Timing depends on your objectives, asset type, leverage, and risk tolerance. Markets are rarely “good” or “bad” across the board. Some owners benefit from selling into strong buyer demand, while others gain long-term value by holding or repositioning. Interest rates, local supply pipelines, and tenant demand all play a role, but decisions should be driven by property-specific economics—not headlines.

Question 3

How is commercial real estate valued differently than residential property?

Accepted Answer

Commercial real estate is valued primarily on income performance and risk, not emotion or simple comparable sales. Buyers focus on net operating income (NOI), lease terms, tenant quality, expense structures, and market cap rates. Two buildings with the same square footage can have dramatically different values based on how the income is structured and how secure that income is perceived to be.

Residential real estate, by contrast, is largely valued based on recent comparable sales and owner-occupant demand. Commercial buyers are underwriting future cash flow, not past sales prices.
