Luxury Prices Extend 31-Month Run of Annual Declines, but 12 Markets Buck the Trend, Realtor.com® Finds
Why this matters
Commercial real estate continues to digest a multi-year reset in cost of capital. Transaction velocity is below the 2019-2021 trend but improving, cap rates have stabilized across most stabilized property types, and the bid-ask gap has narrowed materially in the past two quarters. Sponsors with permanent capital and operating platforms have an advantage in the current execution environment. Austin is working through a multi-year supply digestion in both multifamily and office. Land values east of I-35 continue to hold despite slower entitlement activity. The next twelve months will continue to reward underwriting discipline and operational sophistication over balance-sheet aggression.
