“We continue to see investors pursuing yield. An uptick in opportunities drove U.S. real estate transaction volumes to exceed expectations in the first half of 2018,” JLL Director of Americas Research Lauro Ferroni said. “Pockets of the market are seeing exceptional manifestations of liquidity with investors in pursuit of scale and market share.”
