If you’ve been watching the news (or just checking your mortgage payments in horror), you know that interest rates have been rising. But what does this mean for commercial real estate investors in Indiana? Should you hold off on buying? Absolutely not! Here’s why.
Higher Rates, Bigger Opportunities
Yes, rising interest rates mean higher borrowing costs, but they also thin out the competition. Investors who are easily spooked may step back, giving serious buyers like you more negotiating power. Fewer bidding wars = better deals. Smart commercial investors see this as an opportunity, not a setback.
Strong Demand for Commercial Space
Despite rate hikes, Indiana’s commercial real estate market remains strong. According to the National Association of Realtors, demand for industrial and retail spaces is still high, particularly in growing cities like Indianapolis, Carmel, and Fishers. If you’ve been eyeing a prime investment property, now might be your chance before prices rise again.
Rents Are Increasing
Higher interest rates can make it harder for businesses to buy property, meaning more demand for rental space. That’s great news for investors. Commercial lease rates are climbing, which can offset increased financing costs. Translation? You can still generate solid cash flow even in a high-rate environment.
Long-Term Value Wins Every Time
Remember, real estate is a long game. Rates fluctuate, but property values historically appreciate. If you wait for the ‘perfect’ rate, you might miss out on the perfect property. A great deal today is still a great deal tomorrow—especially if you have the right broker guiding you.
