How to Prepare for an Estate Sale

Chris Holman welcomes Eric Rosekrans, CCIM, Executive Vice President, Martin Commercial Properties, and Thomas Jamieson, Martin Commercial Properties, Lansing, MI.

This discussion is the second of three with Martin Commercial Properties team, and focuses on their Office Advisory.

These were the questions they cover in this conversation: 
Office Advisory:
Office vacancy remains at a 20-year high. What strategies are landlords and tenants using to adapt to shifting work models and excess space?

Smaller occupies are leading leasing activity—what types of businesses are driving this demand, and how does it shape the future of office space design?

Given recent sales in the office sector, what trends are emerging given the buyers of these buildings?

These interviews grow out of a series of three recent reports recently released by the company. You can access them at: https://martincommercial.com/marketinsights/ .

Office '24 Market Insights: "OFFICE ‘24 Market Insights Greater Lansing Area, Michigan | H2 2024"​

The Greater Lansing Area office market experienced a slight increase in vacancy rates, reaching 21.9% in H2 2024, up from 21.2% in H1 2024. ​ The Central Business District (CBD) continues to struggle with higher vacancy rates (27.1%) compared to suburban markets (19.8%). ​ Absorption remained negative at -64,140 SF, although this was an improvement from the -98,661 SF recorded in H1 2024. ​ Leasing activity was steady, but transaction values dropped by about 30% as companies opted for shorter-term leases and downsized their spaces. ​

No new office space was completed in H2 2024, and none is expected in the near future due to low demand and high construction costs. ​ The largest leases in H2 2024 included HNTB (20,000 SF) and Thrun Law Firm (17,000 SF) in the East Submarket, and Cedar Creek Hospital (12,000 SF) in the South Submarket. Significant vacancies were created by Aetna Health vacating 30,000 SF and Ingenix (United Healthcare) vacating 9,500 SF in the West Submarket. ​ The market remains tenant-friendly, with landlords scrutinizing deals involving tenant improvements due to elevated interest rates and high renovation costs. ​

The Greater Lansing Area encompasses over eight million square feet of leasable office space, with the CBD and East Submarket accounting for 71.9% of the market. ​ The North Submarket saw a decrease in vacancy rates from 18.5% in H1 2024 to 11.7% in H2 2024, while the South and West Submarkets experienced increases in vacancy rates. ​ The market is expected to continue favoring tenants through 2025 and 2026, with no new speculative construction anticipated due to ongoing economic challenges. ​

Why Downsizing Professionals Make Life Transitions Easier

In this episode of Law Talks on 4CRB, Attwood Marshall Lawyers Accredited Aged Care Professional and Paralegal Bindy Marshall joins host Robyn Hyland to talk about one of the biggest and often most emotional transitions older Australians face: selling the family home to move into aged care or a retirement village.

Bindy shares practical advice and personal insight into the emotional toll this move can take. For many, the family home represents a lifetime of memories and letting go isn’t just about bricks and mortar; it’s about comfort, history, and deep emotional ties.

Whether prompted by declining health or the challenges of maintaining a home as you age, the decision to move is rarely easy for anyone.

Bindy offers thoughtful strategies to manage the grief and stress that often accompany such a significant life change. From giving yourself extra time to prepare and process to seeking help from accredited aged care professionals, property lawyers, and financial advisers, she highlights the importance of having the right team in your corner.

The episode also explores the key responsibilities of attorneys acting under an Enduring Power of Attorney, including legal and financial considerations when selling a home to fund aged care.

Whether the move is carefully planned or happens suddenly after a health decline or hospital stay, this episode reinforces one crucial message: no one should have to navigate this journey alone.

Tune in for supportive advice, expert tips, and a reminder that change, while difficult, can also mark the beginning of a new chapter.
