Uncertain economic times and fast-changing, fluctuating factors posed challenges for commercial real estate in the third quarter of 2022.

While transaction volume slowed in the third quarter, demand has far from cooled. Commercial real estate stands against a plummeting stock exchange, and far more volatility in other investment vehicles, with the ability to lock in rates against future interest hikes as an attractive hedge against inflation. In this grid-locked state of forward (albeit slow) momentum, CRE continues moving with solid fundamentals underlying changes in valuations and rents, and quality winning out in the long run.
