— By John R. Read — Orange County’s retail market continues to shine, mirroring its famously  consistent weather. Despite challenges like persistent interest rate fluctuations, capital markets volatility and signs of a slowing economy, the region remains a beacon for retailers and investors alike. This resilience has cemented Orange County as one of the strongest retail markets in Southern California and the nation. As 2023 drew to a close, a notable drop in the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield to below 4 percent and signals from the Federal Reserve of potential rate cuts in the upcoming year fueled optimism among real estate investors. However, 2024 has continued to see volatility, with yields reaching mid-4 percent levels and no rate cuts yet implemented.
