Denver, CO, May 7, 2020: HVS, the leading global services and consulting firm focused on the hospitality industry, has announced the publication of the Spring 2020 Hotel Brokers Survey, which provides an important overview of investment metrics for the U.S. hotel industry.

The report provides market insights across key topics by hotel type, including discount rates, going-in cap rates, exit cap rates, current rooms revenue multipliers, exposure periods, marketing times, and selling expenses. In addition, it covers the impacts of liquidation and shares the general sentiment felt across various markets in the nation.

This biannual survey is based on information provided by active hotel brokers across the United States. In this Spring 2020 report, 50 hotel brokers and brokerage firms offer their opinions on the current state of the hotel transaction environment from their vantage point across 22 markets in the U.S.

Given the current environment, the overall sentiment predictably reflects a market that has stalled, with an outlook of RevPAR and pricing declines. That said, the outlook for 2021 transaction volume is more optimistic, with a small percentage of brokers anticipating transaction activity to be stronger in 2021 than it was in 2019.
