WAR IN IRAN, FEDERAL RESERVE RATE HIKE WEIGH ON REAL ESTATE INVESTOR OUTLOOK ACCORDING TO FALL 2026 RCN CAPITAL INVESTOR SENTIMENT SURVEY
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. For LPs, the allocation conversation has shifted decisively toward real estate debt, with equity allocations being deployed more selectively into operator-led platforms.
