OLYMPIC VALLEY, CA—The commercial real estate market is an evolving landscape, shaped by economic factors, market trends, and investor sentiment. One crucial element that has been on the minds of industry players in recent months is the rising interest rate environment. At the recent GlobeSt. Women of Influence conference, a CRE State of the Industry Panel convened, bringing together key industry influencers from every link in the value chain. The panelists engaged in a candid discussion about the current state of the CRE market, transactional shifts, and the impact of rising interest rates on their respective sectors.
Moderated by Ashlee Cabeal, CFO of Hamilton Zanze, the panelists provided valuable insights on how the changing interest rate environment has affected their businesses and the broader industry.
Julie Baird shared her perspective on the impact of rising interest rates on the exchange market. From a deal volume standpoint, she noted a dramatic impact, witnessing a slow decline that eventually reached a plateau. However, despite the decrease in deal volume, First American Exchange Company's revenue experienced an increase. This trend suggests that the interest rate environment has been favorable for the company's operations. The ability to maintain revenue growth amidst declining deal volume indicates their resilience in navigating market fluctuations.
