This is not 2008 all over again but I am sure many are thinking that way. The 10-year Treasury just hit its highest level since 2007 but it's not inflation! Inflation is pretty steady at 2.35%. ITS COMPETITION FOR CAPITAL being driven by AI spending. For those of us pricing real estate, that matters. If rates are high because capital is scarce rather than because of inflation, dont count on a quick reversal in borrowing costs or cap rates. What do you think? connectcre.com/stories/treas…

Why are today's real estate markets challenging? The Fed's 25bp hike got the headlines. For private retail investors, watch the 10-yr near 5%. It drives borrowing costs and cap rates. When Treasuries pay ~5% with full liquidity, a net lease deal has to earn its spread. Underwrite to the 10-yr, not the Fed. #CRE bit.ly/4yqwbga

Steig's most recent report is fresh off the presses. The 2 takeaways for the midwest and the 2ndary and tertiary markets is the slight cooling in inflation and the strong small business optimism number. These markets are full of opportunities. lnkd.in/gvbeVPXk

I just got to ask if anyone else has had a terrible experience with Xfinity trying to close an account for a deceased parent? It is unbelievable that I am trying to close out the account, pay the final bill and I am getting the run around. Xfinity

First Half Review 2025 The first half of 2025 saw the STNL retail sector navigate economic uncertainty, tariff pressures, high construction costs, and tighter capital conditions, yet demand for well-located, high-quality assets remained strong, widening the gap between Class A and B/C properties. New construction stayed limited as developers focused on repositioning existing sites, while sales volume rose to $5.7 billion (up 9.6% from late 2024), median cap rates dipped to 6.8%, and median price per square foot climbed to $309. Larger deal sizes alongside smaller footprints signaled a long-term shift toward more liquid formats aligned with omnichannel strategies, and with cap rates stabilizing, investors are prioritizing credit quality, lease duration, and inflation-resilient structures. Although transaction volumes remain muted, a narrowing bid-ask spread points to improving liquidity and a disciplined, steady outlook for the remainder of the year.
