What Trends Will Affect Real Estate Investors & Commercial Real Estate Over the Next 6 Months???
Let’s cut through the noise. Everyone’s either screaming "crash" or whispering about "opportunity." Here’s what’s actually going to move the needle for REI and CRE over the next six months:
Interest Rates Aren’t Dropping Anytime Soon If you're still waiting on a rate cut to save your deal, you’re already behind. Underwriting is getting tighter. Cap rates are adjusting. The pros are structuring smarter deals, not cheaper ones.
Office Space is Still Bleeding CRE is splitting in two: service-based retail is bouncing back, but office is a slow-motion implosion. If you’re in CRE, you better be pivoting or repurposing. Obsolete square footage is a liability, not an asset.
Affordable Housing is the Golden Goose Multifamily is oversupplied in the luxury tier and underbuilt where real demand is: workforce housing, mom-and-pop rentals, and in-fill ADUs. Watch the investors quietly making bank here, because they’re not talking about it on TikTok.
Due Diligence is Back in Style Six months ago, people were buying on hope and vibes. Now? They're calling inspectors, reading leases, and actually checking comps. Imagine that.
Smart Money is Getting Creative Subject-to, seller finance, lease options, these aren’t guru gimmicks anymore. They're survival strategies. Because when capital costs more, creativity becomes currency.
Legislation Will Hit Like a Sledgehammer or a Savior From rent control proposals to zoning reform, local policies will make or break deals. If you’re not tracking your city council meetings, you’re playing checkers while others are playing chess.
Bottom line: The next 6 months aren’t about timing the market, they’re about knowing your market, structuring the right play, and running your numbers like it’s your job. Because it is.
