Habitat for Humanity's new global research report finds three in four people are cutting back on essentials to afford housing
Why this matters
Capital markets activity continues to be defined by the rotation from bank balance sheets to non-bank lenders. Private credit funds have raised record dry powder; banks have tightened CRE underwriting standards for the sixth consecutive quarter. The result is a market where well-sponsored deals clear, and marginal credit pays a meaningful spread to do so. Atlanta multifamily concessions have started to compress in the Inner Perimeter, and industrial demand along the I-85 corridor remains durable. Office bifurcation is pronounced. For LPs, the allocation conversation has shifted decisively toward real estate debt, with equity allocations being deployed more selectively into operator-led platforms.
