Stephen O'Connor, RobertDouglas Principal & Managing Director, shares his thoughts on the fed rate cut with Hotel Business Magazine. “The Fed has strongly signaled their intentions to bring down the benchmark short-term rate and return to a more normalized interest rate environment, which cannot happen fast enough for hotel owners. Reasonable people can disagree about the magnitude of future reductions and the terminal rate where the Fed will stop cutting, but the timing and direction for interest rate movement is now fully demonstrated and in dramatic fashion at that. We expect a material increase in refinancing activity and a narrowing of the bid-ask spread as investors can bid with greater conviction of accommodative financing and sellers can feel more confident that they are getting a full valuation for their asset. Game On!”
The Fed—by some accounts, finally—has cut interest rates. #HotelBusiness reached out to the industry for reaction. We hear from Kevin Carey, Laura Lee Blake, Miraj S. Patel, MBA, CHIA, CHO, Dennis Hopper, CCIM, Charlie Ryan, Adeel Amin, Ahmed Kabani, Ed James, Stephen O'Connor, Brian Hughes, Gary Gray and more. https://lnkd.in/ebA68QHP #hotels #hotelnews #hotelowners #hoteliers #hotelindustry #hospitality #hospitalitynews #hospitalityindustry #travel #travelnews #travelandtourism #tourism #hotelsandmotels #hotelsandresorts #hospitalityprofessionals #lodging #hospitalitytrends #businesstravel #hoteltrends #hotelrevenue #hotelownership #hoteloperators #hoteldevelopers
