“Inflation entered the markets like a lamb during 2021, with most pundits viewing it as “transitory.” However, monthly inflation numbers climbed steadily in Q1 and Q2 2022, then came out roaring in Q3 and Q4 2022. This prompted the Fed to take an aggressive posture to rein in inflation…with the fastest increase in interest rates in modern history,” said Jeff Piehl, MAI, Partner at HealthCare Appraisers, Real Estate Team Lead, and author of the publication. “As telegraphed, the higher interest rates and subsequent higher lending costs led to lower pricing levels, and transaction volume trickled to a halt. In less than six months, a majority of investors and lenders were “pencils down” on new deals. “We cover this and more in this year’s report, including the onset of inflation in 2022, what to expect for 2023 and beyond, healthcare real estate investment trusts (REITS), leasing activity, and results of our MOB Survey,” said Piehl.
