NAI Ruhl & Ruhl Commercial Company Blood Drive
The NAI Ruhl & Ruhl Commercial Company blood drive held on November 16, 2010 was a success and could not have been done without the help of our 8 donors who's blood will be able to help a total of 24 patients. Several other staff members wanted to make a donation, but were unable due to recent travel outside of the U.S. NAI Ruhl & Ruhl Commercial Company would like to thank the Mississippi Valley Blood Center for spending their day with us setting up the event and collecting blood. Thanks again to all those who donated.

Good news on the commercial front
original article published in National Association of Realtors- Realtor.org by George Ratiu in November 2010.
Research Economist, George Ratiu, states that "Amid signs of uncertainty, economic activity continued its moderate growth trend in the third quarter of this year." Ratiu goes on to say that growth came about due to double digit increases in spending, coupled with rising consumer expenditures.
"Against this backdrop of a moderately recovering economy, commercial real estate investments posted a significant jump in sales during the third quarter – up 115.0 percent from the third quarter of 2009." Ratiu infers that the increase in commercial investment signifies a shift in preferences among global investors.
According to Ratiu, "In addition to global investors, U.S. commercial real estate investors are finding improved conditions in certain markets and property types." Ratiu goes on to break down third quarter findings on a class by class basis, stating "While fundamentals for office, industrial and retail properties are still trying to shake off negative absorption and rents, demand for apartments has been strong – and continues to rise."

Midwest Real Estate News asks, "Will only the strong survive today's commercial market?"
originally published November 9, 2010 in Midwest Real Estate News
Ted Jokerst, senior vice president and manager with Minnetonka, Minn.-based Welsh Capital, is confident that tough times will leave behind a stronger commercial real estate industry. Jokerst states, "It’s a challenging time right now. But there are opportunities in the marketplace to find new clients and provide value. We have the opportunity in such a challenging marketplace to really differentiate ourselves from other companies in what services we can provide clients. That’s how you have to look at a market like this one."
Jokerst believes the market will come back in time, but slowly. Likewise, Jokerst finds the Midwest markets to be more risk-averse which he believes has been a real help during this economic downtown.
