The global economy appears to be exiting the high inflation and tight monetary policy environment that has defined the past two years and is poised to enter a new phase with most major central banks looking to cut interest rates. Major economies still face some notable risks, particularly from geopolitical events, but it appears increasingly likely that growth will continue in 2024 into 2025. Growth in the U.S. economy continued at a healthy pace in the third quarter and outpaced expectations of a more significant slowdown after robust growth in the second half of 2023. U.S. GDP grew at an estimated annualized pace of 2.2% in the third quarter according to Moody’s Analytics, down from the 3.0% pace in the second quarter though year-over-year growth remained solid at 2.5%. Job growth reaccelerated in the third quarter to a monthly average of 186,000 jobs added per month after slowing significantly in Q2. The unemployment rate held at 4.1% at the end of the quarter as a result, helping to ease concerns over the health of the labor market and the underpinnings for consumer spending in the economy. The U.S. economy also continued to make progress in its fight against persistent inflation during the third quarter. Year-over-year inflation as measured by the Consumer Price Index remains slightly above the Federal Reserve’s target of 2% but continued on a general downward trend, finishing the third quarter at 2.4%. This marks the slowest pace of inflation in the economy in three and a half years. Given this backdrop, Federal Reserve officials cut the federal funds rate by 50 basis points in September, marking the first cut in the policy rate since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. Yields on 10-year Treasury bonds, which began to trend downward late in the second quarter in anticipation of looser monetary policy, continued a downward path in the third quarter finishing at 3.81%. Other developed Western economies have been more challenged than the U.S. economy but have also generally outperformed expectations. The Eurozone flirted with recession at the end of 2023, but growth has resumed during the first three quarters of 2024 in the region despite economic declines in Germany. Like the U.S., the Eurozone has made significant progress on the inflation front. The European Central Bank began its rate-cutting cycle at the end of the second quarter and continued to reduce the policy rate in the third quarter to stimulate economic activity with the inflation threat receding. In Asia, China’s economy grew 4.6% year-over-year in the third quarter of 2024, the slowest growth rate it has experienced since the beginning of 2023. Data on retail spending and industrial output exceeded expectations during the quarter, but significant structural challenges in the property sector continue to weigh on growth. Unlike most of the developed world, China’s economy faces the threat of deflation instead of inflation, driven by moderating demand and excess supply. Policymakers have responded to this threat with aggressive monetary and fiscal policy as the nation looks to hit its 5% growth target for 2024. Real Estate Market Conditions and Outlook The recent decline in long-term interest rates has not yet translated into a significant uptick in commercial real estate transaction activity. According to Real Capital Analytics, sales of commercial properties in the U.S. through the first eight months of 2024 totaled $238.6 billion, down 4.4% from the same period last year. Lending standards for commercial real estate loans remain generally tight, but are beginning to stabilize, and should ease as the Federal Reserve continues to cut interest rates in upcoming quarters. Improved lending from traditional lenders should lead to increased transaction activity, particularly in target areas like industrial, alternatives, necessity retail and pockets of housing, which continue to experience healthy fundamentals. Traditional office sector fundamentals continue to grapple with the combination of structural shifts caused by work-from-home trends and cyclical headwinds stemming from weakening activity in office- using sectors like tech and real estate. Companies continue to favor hybrid work schedules and have re-evaluated their office needs as a result. Supply growth has been muted, but the weakness in demand has kept office vacancy elevated in 2024. Higher-quality office building in prime locations have seen continued interest from tenants as the flight towards quality for tenants remains a trend. The retail sector has benefitted from the surprising strength of the U.S. consumer in recent quarters, bolstered by healthy wage growth and solid job gains. Vacancy in open air locations and grocery- anchored and other necessity-based retail spaces remains near historic lows and is likely to remain low even as the U.S. economy decelerates because of the lack of construction and development activity in the sector. Malls remain generally challenged, but high-quality, Class A mall space with strong sales
TIAA Retirement Annuity Accounts TIAA Real Estate Account Real Estate As of 9/30/2024 Continued on next page... 39 10/22/2024 9:28:56 AM 7142 density still attracts desirable tenants and outperforms the broader mall subsegment. The multifamily sector continues to experience strong demand in 2024, helping to absorb the record level of supply growth that caused vacancy rates in the sector to increase in 2023 and the first half of 2024. Elevated home prices and high mortgage rates remain impedances to home ownership and have stimulated the demand for alternatives like traditional apartments and single-family rentals. Like other sectors, construction starts for multifamily projects have slowed significantly in recent quarters, and supply growth will peak in 2024. This should translate to firming multifamily fundamentals going forward. Demand for industrial space remains subdued in 2024, driven by weakness in both manufacturing and housing activity in the U.S. economy. Solid growth in consumer spending, long-term shifts towards e- commerce, and improved import activity have helped sustain demand since the start of 2023, albeit at a pace that is well below the strength seen in 2021 and 2022. On the supply side, the amount of new industrial space completed hit a three-year low in the third quarter after record setting supply growth over the past two years. Supply growth is likely to moderate further at the end of 2024 into 2025, which should translate to stabilization in industrial vacancy rates and improved prospects for rental growth. The Account returned -0.34% in the third quarter of 2024 and -9.34% since September 30th, 2023. As a result of interest rate increases and decreased commercial property transaction volume for the reporting period, property values have been adjusted downward. The third quarter net return was negative for the eighth consecutive quarter and reflects the impact of these broader economic conditions on property valuations. While the Account has experienced valuation declines, property fundamentals remain strong and the properties within the Account are generally well positioned. Potential future investment activity will be consistent with the Account’s multi-year strategy of reducing exposure to segments characterized by high capital expenditures and anticipated underperformance, such as traditional office and retail, and increasing allocations to lower capex and anticipated outperforming sectors like industrial, housing, and alternatives. The Account’s Portfolio Management Team is particularly interested in increasing exposure to the alternatives sector, which includes property types such as self-storage, data centers, life science, medical office, and senior and student housing.
