A Constrained CRE Lending Market Signals Little Trouble on the Horizon for Commercial Real Estate Returns
The current real estate market can be distinguished from other real estate recovery periods due to constrained mortgage growth, a key indicator of future returns. Over the 44-year history of the institutional private real estate index, real estate returns have been negative in only two periods, both of which were preceded by the highest historical growth in mortgage debt and therefore, many have considered those two periods to be “real estate-led/related recessions”.
