RCLCO Releases 4Q 2011 National Real Estate Sentiment Survey Results

RCLCO, a national real estate advisory firm, has released the results of its quarterly National Real Estate Sentiment Survey. The survey, conducted by RCLCO's Managing Director Charles Hewlett, reflects real estate industry market participants' sentiments about the current state and future expectations of the US and various local and regional economies and real estate markets.

According to Mr. Hewlett, both components of the RCLCO Real Estate Market Index (RMI) - Current and Future - swung sharply positive in the fourth quarter of 2011 compared with the previous quarter. What's more, both indices are well above 60, which is typically indicative of strong or clearly improving economic and real estate market conditions. Real estate market participants are feeling good about trends in the underlying economy, and the results point to a consensus that the recovery has gained traction and is sustainable, which bodes well for real estate.
