Buyer's Market

Conditions continued to favor warehousing buyers through August, headlined by vacancy climbing further from already historic highs. But it’s important to note that this Buyer’s Market does not come with the benefit of lower prices: energy and input prices are climbing at an inflationary pace and underlie many of the costs associated with warehouse space. Buyers may have some negotiation power, but the sellers of space are feeling their own pinch and may be limited in what they can offer. The Flexe Spot Warehousing Index provides the visibility to navigate these shifting conditions and track transactional pricing trends.
