War In Ukraine, Geopolitical Risk Will Spur Investors To Turn To Real Estate: Report

Barring catastrophic global escalation, the war in Ukraine poses few risks to U.S. commercial real estate and might even spur investors to turn to real estate assets, according to a new report by Marcus & Millichap.

The fighting has already had an economic impact, both in the United States and worldwide, especially in pushing the price of oil upward and driving equity markets into correction territory. Historically, such periods of uncertainty reinforce the investment advantages of real estate, the report points out.
