The real estate market is in the fourth year of recovery since the 2009 mortgage crisis, rising over 30 percent since 2012, and many investors worry that it is time for a correction. Nevertheless, both historic macro-economic drivers and structural changes of the US real estate market point towards continued, but moderating growth: Morgan Stanley’s 2015 Real Estate market outlook projected that the US real estate market will grow 4% – 6% (MS Housing Market Insights 2015). Investors though have to be more selective in choosing the right real estate opportunities, since most of the post 2009 correction has already occurred.
