Instead, the major stumbling blocks to deal flow, our survey participants told us, was that the good old days of the past five years are still too fresh in sellers’ minds, while a new found conservatism has crept into the buyers’ minds.

“Twenty-four months ago, there were a lot of real estate investors who were very happy with the purchases they made 30 months ago - now there are a lot of real estate investors who are very unhappy with the purchases they made six months ago. That said, we are seeing a return to sanity and historical norms,” said Mike Carey, national account coordinator for Tranzon Auction Properties in Portland, ME.

There is almost no investment real estate market at this time, say industry executives and brokers we surveyed for this story. Some 1031 exchanges are getting done out of necessity to meet tax obligations and some institutional properties are trading due to the flow of foreign capital taking advantage of the depressed dollar but the spread between buyer and seller is far too dramatic for “bread and butter” deals to get done.
