With major shifts happening in the U.S. economy, the real estate market is at a turning point. Interest rates remain high, inflation is still a factor, and different sectors of the market are reacting in unpredictable ways.
A recent survey of financial and real estate professionals reflects mixed expectations for the market’s future:
34% (Grade B) believe the market will see some improvements but warn of potential risks.
24% (Grade A) are optimistic, seeing positive trends in specific sectors.
24% (Grade D) expect conditions to worsen or stagnate, citing challenges like sustained high interest rates and inflationary pressure.
17% (Grade C) believe the market will stay the same, meaning most experts foresee some level of change ahead—good or bad.
This signals an inflection point. Some investors see opportunity in undervalued assets, while others are bracing for turbulence. Commercial real estate, in particular, is facing uncertainty in office demand, shifting cap rates, and tightening capital markets.
Predicting the market’s next move is difficult, but understanding how to position yourself within it isn’t. Whether it’s time to buy, sell, or hold, real strategy matters. If you need a valuation or want to stress test your property’s position in today’s market, let’s talk.
