At the beginning of the year there was a lot of concern surrounding rising interest rates’ effect on commercial real estate. As it turned out, this looming fear fueled buyers to get into the market and buy at record pace for retail and multi-family properties. In fact, in 2022, the Central Valley saw record cap rates, sales volume, and transactions, based on data provided by The Visintainer Group and CoStar.

A 1031 Exchange, in short, is a way for investors to sell an income property and defer the capital gains taxes by buying a new income property (replacement property). A common question from investors is, “When should I start working on my exchange if I know what I am going to sell?” When it comes to planning, there is no such thing as “too early” for an exchange.

Over the past two years, a common perception has been that there is little to no inventory of available multifamily properties on the market in the Central Valley. If you compare the volume of transactions year over year to 2019 (the year preceding Covid), that perception is proven true. The pandemic year, 2020, saw a reduction in total sales transactions in the Central Valley by 18.1% compared to 2019. Last year saw an even further reduction in transaction volume, down 26.3% from 2019.
