Well I'd call that good news. Today's PCE release shows that inflation, according to the headline PCE index, has essentially reached the Fed's 2% target. Annual growth in headline PCE was 2.1%, though core PCE growth, the Fed's preferred measure of inflation, was still slightly…

In the near-frozen CRE market we've lived through over the last two years, assumable debt has come to be used more often to creatively get deals across the finish line. As the new year approaches, and the gradual thawing of the frozen CRE sales market begins in earnest, assumable…

What's holding up the existing home sales (EHS) market? The rate lock-in effect is keeping more people in their homes, which limits the number of homes being listed for sales. As a result, EHS are at a record low, just 2.9% of total households compared to the pre-pandemic average…


I had the opportunity to join @BullRealty on America's Commercial Real Estate show to talk about the latest trends in retail real estate. How strong is the consumer, and how does that impact the retail property market given the limited amount of space currently available to…

As I've been increasingly mentioning lately, there appear to be glimmers of light in the CRE market. That doesn't mean all pain is over. The analogy I like to use is that the CRE economy is more like a cargo ship than a speed boat - it turns slowly. But it does seem like the turn…
