Attendees will Learn to apply the CCIM Strategic Analysis Model to your next market analysis. The purpose of strategic analysis is to determine whether there is an adequate current supply of real estate of a particular type in a particular place to meet demand, and if not, whether there might be a profit opportunity for those who wish to add supply.

Strategic analysis is the overall process of determining whether the market will support a particular use at a particular site so that it is profitable. The difficulty with defining the strategic analysis process is that it is not a step-by-step linear process. Rather, it is an iterative process that moves back and forth among several different steps to hone the analysis to the point where a decision can be made. This 3-hour session introduces the Strategic Analysis Model and the need for such analysis.
