Behind the Buy: What Today’s Investors Are Prioritizing

In today’s Connecticut market, investor priorities are shifting. Gone are the days of chasing yield at any cost. Today’s buyers are looking for stability, scale, and flexibility in how they deploy capital.

Here’s what we’re seeing on the ground:
✅ Stabilized, income-producing assets are back in favor, especially with long-term leases and solid tenant history.
🔍 Value-add deals are still attractive, but only when clear upside and executable repositioning plans exist.
📍 Location certainty is key: walkability, TOD zones, and strong demographics are outperforming broader submarkets.
💰 Conservative underwriting is the norm. Today’s buyers are more selective, and so are their lenders.

🧠 Takeaway: Investors are still active, but the bar is higher. If your deal isn’t checking the right boxes, it’s sitting. Considering a sale or acquisition?
Let’s talk strategy.
