Commercial-Property Deals Are Showing Signs of Recovery
Bloomberg reported that the US commercial real estate market is recovering after President Trump's April tariff announcements temporarily disrupted dealmaking and financing, with property owners now restarting paused projects and moving forward with transactions. While deals are getting done again, investors remain more cautious than earlier in the year due to lingering uncertainty about tariffs' economic impact and elevated interest rates. Despite these headwinds, industry leaders believe the foundations for a real estate recovery remain intact, supported by improving credit markets and pent-up demand after three years of limited activity. “There was a shock to the system, capital market-wise and liquidity-wise,” now, “there are transactions happening, deals are getting done, but it’s a little more caution, a little more uncertainty.” according to Josh Zegen, co-founder of commercial- property lender Madison Realty Capital.
