As new sources of financing and liquidity slowly return to the real estate markets, investors, property owners and managers are bracing for stable growth in 2016.

According to London-based professional services company PWC's 2016 Emerging Trends in Real Estate report, strengthening U.S. macro-economic performance is bolstering absorption and improving occupancy in the majority of American real estate markets. The flow of capital into U.S. real estate continues to increase, with total acquisition volume for the 12-months ending June 30, 2015, up 24.6% to $497.4 billion, the report states.

Despite these positive growth indicators, the smartest players in the industry remain cautious, incorporating stronger risk management techniques to manage potential unforeseen risks and headwinds, which may come in 2016.
