  • The U.S. economy's 2.3% growth in Q4 2024 and falling jobless claims enhance consumer spending, positively impacting retail and multifamily sectors.
  • Strong demand in multifamily and industrial properties, driven by urban rental needs and e-commerce, presents lucrative opportunities for REIT investors.
