Is This the Safest Place on Earth?

Introducing the Perfect Asset at the Perfect Time

A funny thing happened during the coronavirus shutdown — people got accustomed to working from home. They set up makeshift offices, donned headsets and mastered video conferencing. Home once again became a castle and a sanctuary, and something else — the safest place on earth.

So, what does this have to do with investing? Everything.

While unemployment is approaching Depression-era levels, retailers are going bankrupt, and corporate profits are tumbling — real estate prices remain steady. Indeed, strategists for UBS Wealth Management Americas reported last month that the U.S. housing market entered the current crisis on much firmer ground than back in 2008 and would likely remain stable.

Others ‘in the know’ suggest it will do far better than that. Top realtors from New York, Chicago, Palm Beach, and Los Angeles are predicting a housing surge due to pent-up demand and are prepping for the market to heat up and take flight later this year.

And then there’s the notion of a suburban boom, an exburb sprawl, and a rush to bigger places and quieter spaces — the upshot of millions of families spending months in home confinement. Zillow, Redfin and Realtor.com have all recently suggested that Americans are clamoring to escape the closeness of urban living and the growing risks posed by shared elevators, turnstiles, subway straps and door handles in the age of COVID-19.

This presents a unique opportunity.

As an investment class and a hard asset, real estate is benefiting from both market forces and monetary policy. Funds that contain real estate offer critical portfolio diversification and high liquidity. And if you can secure steady cash flow and above average returns along with a corporate guarantee – all the better.

In the post-pandemic mindset, the percentage of investors that think stocks and mutual funds are the best long-term investment has eroded. The need for shelter, safety, and upsized living however, has surged. With interest rates at historic lows and the demand for personal space at all-time highs — luxury, ready-to-buy real estate may well be the perfect asset at the perfect time.

There’s no doubt that 2020 has been a defining year for the place that Americans call home.

Once again, we find themselves “yearning to be free” but also longing to leave the “huddled masses” far behind. The notion of unshared space has never been more coveted and personal distance has never more sacred. Downsizing is a faded memory and upsizing is the new buzzword. Home offices are the new amenity and smart technology is a must-have for the real-time demands of remote work.

All of this has fundamentally transformed housing, property development and real estate investing — creating a hard asset opportunity that is timely, vertically integrated and among the best investment opportunities of the new economy.
