Three California cities are in the five top retail markets for 2009, according to the results of the latest
National Retail Index (NRI) published by Marcus & Millichap.
The NRI ranks 43 retail markets based on 12-month forward-looking indicators of employment growth, vacancy, construction, household formation, retail sales, rent growth and an additional analysis of local housing market conditions. The Index is intended to provide a summary measure of key demand and supply conditions in each market. According to the latest NRI the top five retail markets in 2009 will be:
San Diego
San Francisco
Washington, D.C.
San Jose, Calif.
Portland, Ore.
According to the national director of Marcus & Millichap’s National Retail Group the top markets are mainly desirable places to live, with high household incomes. These markets are also characterized by low vacancy rate and relatively low development activity.
