In this episode, hosts Bill Condon and Matt McGregor review Q3 market trends, covering key topics like vacancy rates, lease deals, and industrial space absorption.

Key Highlights:

1. Vacancy Rates:
   • Vacancy increased from 7.5% to 7.8%, as predicted. Expected to reach around 8% by year-end due to new product deliveries.
   • Specific size ranges: 10-25K sq. ft. spaces remain tight with low vacancy, but the 100-200K range continues to struggle with over 10% vacancy.
2. Pickleball's Impact:
   • Pickleball facilities are emerging as a new trend in industrial spaces, with several large deals happening in Seattle.
3. Major Lease Deals:
   • Boeing signed a lease for 1M sq. ft. in Milton.
   • Investment sales have picked up, with user sales slightly outpacing investor sales.
4. Capital Markets & Sales:
   • Nearly $870M in total sales year-to-date, with 45 transactions. User sales lead at 51%, but investors are making a comeback.

Outlook for Q4:

• Investment sales are expected to remain strong, though slightly affected by election year uncertainties. The market is expected to close out 2024 flat, with potential for positive momentum into 2025.
