1 day ago | globest.com | Erik Sherman

AFIRE’s quarterly survey of its members collects their attitudes toward cross-border investment in commercial real estate. The most recent one, from Q1 of 2025, showed significant changes from the end of 2024 — and they aren’t all good for U.S. CRE markets. The roughly 180 institutional investors, pension funds, asset managers, and other organizations across 25 countries, which together oversee $3 trillion in AUM, had been “cautiously optimistic” at the end of last year.

A Senate bill, the Housing Affordability Act, introduced by Senators Ruben Gallego (D-AZ) and Dave McCormick (R-PA), is an attempt to increase affordable housing stock by updating multifamily loan limits under Title II of the National Housing Act. “By updating a nearly two-decade-old loan limit, the Housing Affordability Act will expand access to affordable loans for building multifamily housing and ultimately bring down housing costs,” said Gallego in prepared remarks.

Retail’s next chapter is being written not just by where stores are located, but by how well retail formats match the shifting rhythms of consumer life. Across the country, the strongest rent growth isn’t always found on the storied high streets of major cities, but increasingly in dense suburban corridors and live-work-play districts where convenience, walkability, and a blend of uses draw steady foot traffic.

LightBox has released its Monthly CRE Activity Index for April, offering what it called “the first market-wide signal of transaction activity in the weeks following the sweeping Trump tariff announcements that shook financial markets and raised fears of a slowdown.” It showed that CRE activity rose slightly in April, but at a slower pace than in prior months, reflecting continuing deal flow but growing caution among investors and lenders, the report said.
When Will the Next Rate Cut Come? Later Than You Might Think, Say Economists

Large waves of trade and tariff volatility have reset much of the calculus that has gone into estimates of when the Federal Reserve might again start cutting the short-term benchmark federal funds rate. That leaves the question of when interest rate cuts might start again. Could there be a summer reset in June? July? Could pressure from President Trump move the Fed?

Multifamily rent growth remained steady in April, growing $5 to $1,736 across the country, a 0.9% year-over-year increase.
