There were many causes for the decline in the real estate investment market. This paper explores one and asks the question: How susceptible are real estate returns to changes in interest rates in the broader economy? Or, put another way, what is the interest rate elasticity of capitalization rates? Utilizing methods from the valuation of fixed-income securities, this paper demonstrates …
