Numbers to Watch: Liquidity Has Returned link

• U.S. corporations borrowed at the fifth-highest level on record in September, signaling revived credit confidence and liquidity flowing back into capital markets.

• Life insurers now hold nearly one-third of assets in private ventures like data centers and chip factories, up from 22% a decade ago, showing a major institutional tilt toward alternatives.

• Fundraising is already at 95% of 2024’s total, suggesting investor appetite is rebounding fast even as single-family rental growth cools in the Sunbelt.

CRE Selling Costs Swing Widely link

• Selling costs in U.S. commercial real estate vary from under 1% to over 6% of sale price depending on market, property type, and deal size. In San Francisco, sellers can pay up to 6%, while most states remain below 1%.

• In major markets, a 0.5% assumption error can mean millions lost on large transactions, yet many models still use generic 2% assumptions that understate real costs.

• Transfer taxes are the biggest wild card: cities like NYC (3.25%), L.A. (5.95%), and Philadelphia (3.28%) have layered taxes that sharply inflate selling expenses, especially for deals above certain thresholds.

My take: Many investors still plug in the same 2% selling cost across every deal, that’s lazy math. If you’re selling in places like Philly or L.A., that mistake can easily wipe out your profit.

Housing crash fears are overblown, experts see prices rising up to 26% by 2029 link

• Over 100 housing experts in Fannie Mae’s Home Price Expectations Survey project national home prices to rise roughly 15% through 2029, with the most optimistic forecasts hitting +26% and even the pessimists seeing +5% growth.

• Annual appreciation is expected to stabilize around 2–3.5%, slightly below the 25-year norm of 4–5%, signaling a return to sustainable growth after pandemic-era spikes of 15–20%.

• Analysts cite persistent housing shortages and strong demand as the main reason a 2008-style crash isn’t on the horizon, despite affordability pressures.

My take: Everyone’s waiting for a “reset,” but supply just won’t allow it. Unless construction meaningfully outpaces demand, this “slow and steady” market could quietly compound into double-digit gains for patient investors.

$124 Trillion Wealth Transfer Is Rewriting Real Estate link

• Over the next 20 years, $124 trillion in wealth will move from Baby Boomers to younger generations, reshaping how real estate capital gets used. Unlike their parents, many millennials are prioritizing community benefit, sustainability, and accessibility over luxury or returns.

• A Connecticut couple who sold their startup for $1.5 billion bought a decommissioned power plant island, not to develop condos, but to build “Manresa Wilds,” a public park blending nature restoration and education.

• Analysts say this signals a larger shift: younger inheritors see land as stewardship, not speculation, favoring adaptive reuse and local impact projects that could redefine legacy development norms.

My take: If even a fraction of this $124T flows into “impact real estate,” we’ll see a new asset class emerge, less about cap rates, more about civic ROI. For investors, the smart play may be partnering early with these mission-led projects before institutional money catches up.

Houston industrial rents jump 8.3% as vacancy steadies at 7.5% link

• Net absorption hit 9.9M sf in the latest period—down 5.7M sf YoY but Savills expects it to stay positive given 2025 leasing. Big wins: PepsiCo (1.05M sf, Southwest), Panelmatic (728,080 sf), and Inventec (540,000 sf).

• Asking rents surged to $0.65/sf (+8.3% YoY), with the Northwest at $0.86 and the South at $0.77. Vacancy ticked up just 20 bps to 7.5% as speculative deliveries hit.

• Deliveries over the past 12 months totaled 18.9M sf (down 5.3M sf), while space under construction rose by 5.5M sf. Savills says if demand keeps pace with new supply, vacancy should stabilize, helped by population growth and a pro-business climate.
