Henderson Commercial Real Estate Market

By Ina Hunt


Investors all over the country are taking advantage of low property prices to get into the market. After the huge market crash of 2007 many people felt that there would be a quick rebound. However, that optimism has now gone and both buyers and sellers are now resigned to substantially lower values.

The south west states have been particularly hard hit by the recession. Nevada was one of the states that had experience significant growth and was really riding the economic boom to a huge extent. The dramatic drop in prices has really been felt by many people, yet at the same time it also offers opportunities to many. The Henderson commercial real estate prices have come down to more realistic and affordable levels, allowing many new investors to enter the market.

Many potential investors are looking at property that sold for two or even three times the current asking price. Anyone who has ever wanted to invest in a commercial building should start to look around at what is on offer. Meeting with a good agent to go over the listings is the first step in the process. The agent will show each client a number of buildings to see which meets their needs the best.

Some people are just looking to lease. This can be a good way to test the waters and see how viable a building really is. Some places look great on paper but never really work out due to a number of factors. They may have an awkward layout that is off putting for potential renters. They may be located in a bad part of town or they may simply lack sufficient parking.

The location of the building is of the paramount importance. Commercial buildings must be in an area that will bring trade. The intended purpose of the unit is also crucial. A professional building can be located outside of town as people need to visit doctors, lawyers and other professionals at regular intervals. However, a retail outlet must be close to downtown with good parking and plenty of foot traffic.

Location is also crucial. A good down town location in the heart of the retail district is always a good buy. These units command the highest rents and are usually occupied at all times. An out of town location may be good for more industrial buildings that are not so dependent on constant foot traffic. For example a gym or sports complex can be a little out of town and still do really well.

Full occupancy of the units is another important consideration. After all the investor needs to make money from the building. If they want to sell it they will need to show clear evidence of its viability. With this in mind the owner should look around at comparable buildings in the area to see how much they rent for and their occupancy history.

The age and condition of the building must also be considered. An older building with an ugly exterior can be a real turn off for many people. However, a neighboring building of the same size with an aesthetically pleasing look that is well maintained will always command a higher price.
