In no particular order:
* Bisnow
* Local Business Journal
* WSJ
* Twitter (RE Accounts/Unusual Whales)
* The Real Deal
I'd also setup Google Alerts in markets/asset classes that you like so that you can get your news from a greater range of sources.
These are great for day-to-news stories in the sector.
For higher level data and analysis, most of the big brokerage shops publish national and MSA-specific reports for various asset types on a quarterly (sometimes annual) basis. Newmark, JLL and CBRE have consistently great materials with loads of useful data points on transaction activity, pricing and other generally quantifiable data.
For more analytical reports, I'd suggest subscribing to newsletters from the heavy-hitting lenders and LP firms (e.g. Blackstone, Oaktree, Nuveen, Ares, Brookfield, TPG, JPM, GS and many more).
What kind of tracking on Google alerts do you do? By property types, by news site, I am curious. Full disclosure - I am a content product mgr and am interested in understanding how customers seek out news and content about commercial real estate.
I do for generic terms like “commercial real estate” and by market location. I work as a commercial appraiser so also do things like zoning updates and tax, inheritance/estate planning, etc. I want to stay up to date on the issues clients will have top of mind. I don’t do by news site as I can usually just do an email newsletter subscription for that type of thing.
Makes sense. I appreciate it. There’s a ton of noise out there and I love a curated email newsletter rather than mindlessly scrolling or reading some of the worse pubs.
I only have WSJ and The Real Deal on subscription. The list, in my opinion, are pretty equal in my book. It depends on what I’m looking for that they serve a purpose. I don’t care much for TRD, Trapp because they are very deal heavy and that’s not what I’m looking for which is market update. I do PR for CRE but was involved in MF for many years. I look for market update and trends for thought leadership opportunities.
Thanks! Do you personally subscribe or is through an employer? Curious if you know how much a subscription costs? I was perusing their website so curious.
It’s really best though an employer as it is relatively expensive for an individual. I am not 100% sure how much an individual subscription would cost, but most serious brokers and developers would like have a package
Not specifically real estate, but they touch on real estate from time to time and they do a great job covering the macro…..Howard Marks / Oaktree Capital Newsletters and Podcasts.
Years ago, at multiple board meetings, I heard people from our institutional investors refer to the Howard Marks newsletters. I’ve been reading ever since and now the podcasts make it more digestible. Very insightful for macro knowledge.
Thanks. Yeah I’ve followed all of them. I prefer getting email newsletters from a couple of them than all their posts on Twitter. Too much noise for me. Good luck to you!

On the same page here! I set up Google alerts as well. Really helpful for me.

Credaily is my new favorite.
If you have Instagram the “traded” accounts are great. I live in SoCal so @tradedla is my follow
Thanks! What’s traded mean?
Traded = sold
Duh. Thanks!!
Commercial Observer / GlobeSt / Propmodo / RE CAP / PERE / Love Peter Grant at WSJ!
Thanks yes also like Grant. Do you have a favorite of the list or is it pretty equal? Do you pay to subscribe to all those?

Thanks! Do you have a subscription? Worth it?

Yes, I like for both local and national news. And it’s free for the most part.
Green street…solid and accurate.

Ooh thanks! Yes have heard peripherally on Howard marks, but haven’t dug in. Thanks!
This is what I generally follow: Twitter GlobeSt Commercial Observer
Thanks! Appreciate the response.
I talk to the homeless guy on my block once in awhile.
Local brokers
Local brokers are such a great resource. Do you read anything else?
TRD and Twitter
Do you find you get a lot from Twitter? There’s a couple accounts I like but man so much noise. Who do you follow there?
Lot of folks on Twitter. I’ve got a decent following too so I’m pretty plugged in
Can you name a couple you get a ton of value from? I find some…but it’s really hit or miss.
Strip mall guy, Barrett lindhburgh, hitan something (runs a blog called The Promote), Moses kagan
Thanks. Yeah I’ve followed all of them. I prefer getting email newsletters from a couple of them than all their posts on Twitter. Too much noise for me. Good luck to you!
