What this means for owners

A 47% drop in deal count alongside a 54% decline in dollar volume points to a market where buyers and sellers are apart on price rather than one where demand has disappeared. For owners approaching a loan maturity, the practical question is what the asset clears at today against what holding through maturity costs at current rates.

Three considerations are worth evaluating:

– What holding through maturity looks like at today’s interest rates
– What the asset would realistically trade for in the current market
– What buyer demand looks like within the specific submarket

Our team is happy to be a resource should it be helpful to discuss these dynamics in more detail.
