Random Thoughts on SV Commercial Real Estate

Is it just me or does it seem that the retail sector (both Sales and Leasing) has really slowed down, not only in Silicon Valley, but across the nation?

It just seems in the last couple of weeks that:

1. I'm getting a lot more emails/e-flyers for retail properties for lease,
2. I'm getting a lot more emails/e-flyers for retail based single tenant net lease properties for sale, and
3. I'm seeing cap rate creep on the net lease properties, even in California.

Maybe it's just the ease of sending out this information or maybe the retail sector is finally starting to slow.

Any thoughts?
