Noticeable Commercial Real Estate Recovery on a Global Level
Analysts reported that global commercial property sales surged 85% during the last quarter. Experts have suggested that this is a sign of recovery for the market, according to a report on the National Real Estate Investor site.
While most of the action occurred in Asian countries, the U.S. and Canada ended up with declines in sales. Will the benefits of this market trend eventually trickle down to us?
Consider this trend though: since we were the last to experience this commercial real estate decline, it is expected that the U.S. will demonstrate growth and perhaps be the first to come out.
We are closely monitoring this news and other similar stories, as is our CAnet. Perhaps there is an opportunity, or at least a lesson, that can be gained from it all.

Treat Your Blog Like a Business
The title of this post is a potent line from Mark Watters’ blog article, “Nine secrets to Successful Blogging.”
Though many aspects of that post are a bit too hyper-capitalistic, there are definitely gems of knowledge to be found within the whole post.
Treating your blog like a business means to have a solid plan. Running your blog on a yearly to multi-yearly plan heightens your chance of remaining relevant, as well as motivating you or your contributors to post.
“Passion attracts others…” resonates with our company. Our blog is dedicated to remaining positive and intelligent about our industry. We hope that our passion and fervor pushes our peers and colleagues to be as into commercial lending and financing as we are.
Lastly, interacting with other bloggers is a must. We are glad Watters hit on this theme. The more you share your thoughts with other bloggers and authors, the more likely they will reciprocate.
Building readership within the financial sector is difficult. The down markets and regulatory articles do not have to retain their inherent negativity. If some news or facts greatly affect your business, reflecting upon this shows great integrity and responsibility to come from your organization via the web.
