Good bye 2023, we hardly knew ye! But we’re thrilled that you’re gone! Welcome 2024! Come, let us do some business! Skyrocketing interest rate increases caused a panic in the financial markets during the beginning of the year.

The news is full of “never before” pronouncements. Never before has there been a pandemic so impactful on real estate. Never before has technology allowed for remote business meetings on such a frequent basis. Never before would people so comfortably work from home as to vacate office buildings, at least on Fridays and Mondays.
