Episode 50: Commercial Real Estate Market Improving – But Pandemic Effects Still Unclear

The COVID-19 pandemic affected the residential and commercial real estate markets very differently. In New Orleans and elsewhere, home prices climbed as buyers sought more space and listings became scarce. The work-from-home trend, meanwhile, has emptied out office buildings while health restrictions reduced foot traffic in hotels, restaurants and stores. In this week’s podcast, Henry Shortess of Urban Properties Real Estate gives his take on regional commercial real estate trends.
