Why are Buildings Selling in Today's Rotten Real Estate Market?

It might be surprising to learn that industrial buildings are selling in this difficult real estate market. Some of the reasons why buildings are selling is because values are at 20-year lows. Another reason why is because the interest rates are at historic lows. Buyers are expecting huge discounts on property today and are finding them. For example, a new listing at 1016 Fuller in Santa Ana (5,201 Sq. Ft. industrial building) was just listed at $598,000 which would equal a rent payment of $0.78/ Sq. Ft. Gross! This building would have sold three years ago for over $1 million. In addition, buyers expect a discount off of the asking purchase price if there is a deficiency with the building. For instance, 1016 Fuller has very limited parking. Thus, it will likely be discounted further. For more information about this example listing, please go to:
