Price Cuts Reach Yearly High as Inventory Nears Pre-Pandemic Levels: Realtor.com® September Housing Report
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. 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. For LPs, the allocation conversation has shifted decisively toward real estate debt, with equity allocations being deployed more selectively into operator-led platforms.
