Real estate markets in the United States might hit to bottom in 2009 and then splash for much of 2010, according to the Emerging Trends in Real Estate 2009 report by the ULI and New York-based PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP. For the duration of this phase, current drops in property values, foreclosures, delinquencies, and a limping economy will continue to crimp property cash flows
"Commercial real estate faces its most horrible year since the wrenching 1991–1992 industry depression," bring to a close industry experts interviewed for the report, which projects losses of 15 percent to 20 percent in real estate values from the mid-2007 peak. "Only when property financing gets restructured will pricing recorrect so we can find the floor, and this evolution might wipe out companies and people," says one respondent interviewed for the report.

Prior to a rebound, Emerging Trends says the subsequent requirements to happen:
• Private real estate markets need to correct-–lenders must compel distressed owners to become motivated sellers.
• Debt capital needs to flow-–lenders will need to learn to deal in a more stringent regulatory landscape. The commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS) market must "reformulate."
• Regulators have to to restore confidence in the securities market. The government will put in itself into overseeing mortgage securitization markets. Systemic overhaul promises more measured debt flow.
• The economy needs to advance. Falling demand for space won’t affect real estate markets severely until 2009.
• The housing situation is no better and shows no signs of recovering quickly. For lenders, the "sub prime mess is the tip of the iceberg." Stricter lending standards and the weak economy will keep on draining the homebuyer market. "Forget the quick fix!"
The report acknowledges that commercial markets will recover more quickly than most housing markets, and homebuilders may have to sell land tracts for "cents on the dollar" or face foreclosure on their holdings, adding to the previously high rate of mortgage defaults and foreclosures.
Best guidance for 2009:
• Investors should sit firmly. Opportunities will surface at significant discounts.
• Buy discounted loans.
• Recap distressed borrowers: invest in maturity defaults, construction loans/bridge loans, or take mezzanine positions and equity stakes in properties.
• Invest in publicly-held real estate investment trusts (REITs). They will lead the market’s recovery.
• Focus on global pathway markets: 24-hour coastal cities.
• Staff up asset managers, leasing pros, and workout specialists. Separate good assets from bad.
• Retrench on development and reorient to mixed-use and infill. Higher-density residential with retail will gain favor in next round of building.
• Go green. Cutting energy expenses is likely to be a priority.
• Buy or hold multifamily, hold office, hold hotels, and/or buy residential building lots, but be prepared to hold.
• Purchase distressed condos in urban areas near transit.
• Focus on neighborhood retail centers with strong grocery anchors and chain drugstores
