Leadership at the Federal Reserve anticipates two to three hikes to the Federal Funds Rate during 2017.

Those would be in addition to the interest rate increase decided upon in December by the Federal Open Market Committee.

The key interest rate, however, is just one issue among many commercial real estate professionals will be monitoring during 2017.

Brian Bailey, senior technical expert at the Federal Reserve Bank in Atlanta, will deliver a two-part presentation on the Commercial Real Estate Outlook for 2017 at the Alabama Commercial Real Estate Conference & Expo on Feb. 10 in Birmingham.
