Commercial Real Estate Outlook Shifts with Republican Trifecta

Election Results Signal Impactful Changes For The Economy

  • Republicans now control the House, Senate, and Presidency, pointing to significant policy shifts.
  • Proposed policies on tax cuts, tariffs, and immigration are likely to affect the economy and reshape the commercial real estate market.
  • Investors face uncertainty with the pace, scale, and impact of these changes, fostering both optimism and heightened risk.

Interest Rate Outlook Shifts As Inflation Concerns Grow

  • The 10-year Treasury yield has surged by 70 basis points since October, influenced by inflation expectations.
  • Rising Treasury yields are increasing the cost of financing for commercial real estate deals.
  • Potential policy changes, including tariffs and immigration reform, may drive up the national deficit, leading to greater Treasury issuance and a more cautious Federal Reserve.

Real Estate Demand Drivers Strong Despite Policy Uncertainty

  • The long-term outlook for apartments remains positive due to a sustained housing shortage and a significant cost gap between renting and buying.
  • Strong consumer spending is supported by robust household balance sheets, low debt levels, and substantial savings.
