"Given that the sector is experiencing such a negative run, perhaps this is actually a good time to get into real estate. This doesn't mean that this is the bottom of the real estate pullback, and I don't really see a whole lot of investment interest right now."
"There's this big spread between commercial real estate values and housing values where people haven't felt it at home. They don't really feel like there's this real estate crash going on, but there's a real estate crash going on."
Commercial property values continue declining from pandemic and post-2022 interest rate impacts, with investment-grade opportunities trading roughly 17% below 2022 peaks in major cities. While some advisors identify buy-the-dip potential, many adopt cautious approaches due to asset class illiquidity, performance concerns, and client skepticism. Office properties face particular challenges, with Manhattan office tower values falling below June 2020 pandemic lows despite return-to-office mandates. Residential and commercial real estate show divergent performance, creating a disconnect where consumers don't perceive the commercial real estate downturn affecting their own housing markets. Recovery timelines remain uncertain, with office vacancy rates expected to decrease slowly and interest rate relief unlikely in the near term.
